President-elect Donald Trump has created a new "Department of Government Efficiency," headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aiming to reduce federal workforce costs by $2 trillion.
They're looking at ways around civil service rules, potentially utilizing severance packages to encourage federal employees to leave voluntarily before job eliminations occur.
Trump's administration appears focused on eliminating what they term the 'deep state,' with Musk and Ramaswamy asserting that the federal government is excessively wasteful compared to private enterprises.
The administration's strategy may involve mass firings or significant layoffs, bypassing civil service protections by restructuring departments instead of targeting individual employees.
