Mass firings of federal workers begin as Trump and Musk purge U.S. government

^{Published on 2025-02-13 19:40:39 - MSN}

By Tim Reid WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Mass firings at multiple U.S. government agencies have begun as President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk accelerate their purge of America's federal bureaucracy,

The article from MSN, titled "Mass Firings of Federal Workers Begin as Trump and Musk Purk U.S. Government," discusses a significant overhaul within the U.S. federal government, spearheaded by former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. This initiative, often referred to as "Schedule F," aims to reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees into at-will positions, thereby stripping them of civil service protections. This move would allow for easier dismissals, aligning with Trump's vision of a more business-like government operation. The article highlights concerns from current and former government officials about the potential politicization of the bureaucracy, which could lead to a government filled with political appointees rather than career professionals. Critics argue this could undermine the effectiveness and impartiality of government operations. Elon Musk's involvement is mentioned in the context of his broader influence in pushing for government efficiency, though specifics of his role are not detailed. The piece also touches on the legal and political battles surrounding this policy, with some states and unions challenging the legality of such firings.
