Since taking office for a second term, President Donald Trump has dismissed nearly 10,000 government employees as part of a cost-cutting initiative. On January 20, he established a new office, “Government Spending Reduction and Workforce Efficiency,” led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. However, Congress has not recognized the office as a ministry, keeping Musk in an advisory role. The layoffs affect multiple departments, including Energy, Health, and Veterans Affairs. The IRS announced that over 1,000 more employees will be dismissed next week.
