Musk has reportedly installed several allies in the Office of Personnel Management as he seeks to significant cut the federal workforce

Summary

Elon Musk and his allies have reportedly taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and bypassed officials to send a mass resignation email to over 2.3 million federal employees.

The email, titled “Fork in the Road,” offers buyouts to those who voluntarily resign, mirroring a similar approach Musk used at Twitter.

Musk has placed close associates in leadership positions at OPM, raising concerns over his growing influence in Trump’s administration.

Federal employees remain skeptical about the buyout’s legitimacy.

    This is hilarious and incredibly stupid. I hope all the people impacted are of the disposition to delight in chaos, rather than be harmed by it.
