Elon Musk claims DOGE firings will boost American manufacturing. But who will really be working in these factories?
Briefly

Elon Musk has repeatedly tweeted about shifting workers from government roles to manufacturing jobs to enhance America's productivity. However, his viewpoint that government jobs are low- to negative-productive overlooks the vital contributions those positions make. By oversimplifying the dynamics of government employment and disregarding the essential roles played by various federal agencies, Musk's theory fails to hold up under scrutiny. This approach not only misrepresents the workforce but also neglects the complexities of job productivity across different sectors.
Musk's theory that shifting workers from government to manufacturing will boost productivity overlooks the complexities of job roles and contributions in various sectors.
