President Trump's recent executive order aims to drastically reduce the federal workforce by imposing strict hiring limitations and empowering Elon Musk and his collaborators in personnel decisions. The initiative, termed the Department of Government Efficiency, will enforce a hiring strategy where federal agencies must seek approval to fill career positions, resulting in one new hire for every four departing employees, barring exceptions for law enforcement agencies. This move showcases Musk's growing influence in shaping government agency functions, with his team already engaging with numerous departments to assess potential cuts, which Musk claims will streamline government operations for the public benefit.
President Trump signed an executive order directing large-scale cuts to the federal workforce while empowering Elon Musk's team to oversee career official hiring.
The order mandates that federal agencies can only hire one new employee for every four who leave, significantly limiting staffing numbers.
Musk defended the initiative, claiming it would optimize government efficiency and ultimately benefit the public, while asserting control over hiring decisions.
In just three weeks, Musk's team has engaged with at least 19 agencies to identify programs for cuts, indicating rapid and extensive influence.
