Echoing Elon Musk's approach to thinning out Twitter's staff in 2022, Donald Trump's plan to significantly slash the government workforce now, for a limited time only, includes offering resignation buyouts.

To accelerate the administration's determination to slash the federal workforce, a new executive order offered buyouts to all federal employees, but details were scarce, and critics say accepting the current terms is a bad idea.

Elon Musk is only one week into his role in President Donald Trump’s new administration, but the US federal government is already rolling out the Twitter playbook to manage its spending and personnel.

President Donald Trump has told federal workers to either return to the office or quit. It looks like Elon Musk’s strategy when he bought Twitter. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management made all federal employees a deferred resignation offer Tuesday as it ramps up its return-to-office push.
