With government avings nowhere to be seen, Musk demands more large-scale layoffs

Despite Elon Musk's push for drastic downsizing, the Trump administration’s spending continues to rise. A recent Reuters analysis shows that government expenditures surged by 13% in the first month of Musk’s tenure, primarily due to mounting debt-related costs and an aging population. Musk's aggressive demand for more layoffs is causing disruption across federal agencies, including stalled construction and frozen research projects. Meanwhile, the administration’s efforts to pass $4.5 trillion in tax cuts could further exacerbate the nation's debt. With infighting and growing opposition, the future of the federal workforce remains uncertain.
