Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has reportedly initiated substantial federal job cuts, with estimates around 100,000 confirmed layoffs and buyouts. However, the true extent of these reductions could be larger since many agencies have not published their cut plans. In particular, reductions at the National Nuclear Security Administration have raised concerns, as critical expertise has been lost amid efforts to upgrade the nuclear arsenal. The impact of these cuts underscores the potential unintended consequences of workforce reductions within federal agencies, particularly in sensitive areas such as national security.
The impact of individual cuts is coming into focus as layoffs at the National Nuclear Security Administration may critically affect efforts to upgrade the nation's nuclear arsenal.
Despite about 100,000 confirmed layoffs and buyouts in the federal government, the total figures could be undercounts as many agencies haven't released their data.
