Elon Musk Looks to Stick a Fork in Federal Government Workers

^{Published on 2025-01-29 16:20:43 - Slate}

Around the same time as Musk's post, hundreds of thousands of federal workers received an email also titled "Fork in the Road," with a similar offer: Simply send an email to the Office of Personnel Management with the word "Resign" in the subject line, and you'll receive eight months' pay, so long as you reply before Feb. 6.

The article from Slate discusses Elon Musk's email to Donald Trump, where Musk proposed buying out federal workers' jobs to reduce government size. Musk suggested that by offering federal employees a buyout package, they could be incentivized to leave their positions, thereby shrinking the bureaucracy. This proposal was part of Musk's broader critique of government inefficiency and his vision for a more streamlined federal workforce. The email, which was leaked, sparked discussions on the implications of privatizing government roles and the potential political motivations behind such a move, especially given Musk's increasing involvement in political spheres.
