  • Work from home policies came under fire from Elon Musk as he and Vivek Ramaswamy took their plans to reduce government waste to the floors of Congress Thursday.

Elon Musk has criticized federal remote work policies, arguing that they contribute to a significant loss in productivity and economic output, potentially amounting to $2 trillion annually. In a discussion with CNBC, Musk highlighted what he perceives as a disconnect between government workers enjoying remote work privileges while many in the private sector, particularly in sectors like manufacturing and service industries, must work on-site. He suggested that if federal employees were required to return to office settings, it could lead to a more equitable work environment and boost economic productivity. Musk's comments come amidst broader debates on the efficacy and fairness of remote work, especially as some federal agencies have extended remote work options post the initial phases of the global health crisis.
