Elon Musk’s scheme for US federal employees: which jobs are going?
Elon Musk’s mass redundancy scheme for US federal employees was put on hold by a judge hours before a midnight deadline to reply to his “fork in the road” email offering up to seven months pay to quit.
About 40,000 staff were said to have replied by Wednesday by emailing the word “resign” to the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM), after the offer of payouts was masterminded by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).
This is about 2 per cent of the workforce, some way short of the 5 to 10 per cent anticipated by Musk in a post on X. Some 6 per cent of federal workers retire or resign in a typical year, according to Partnership for Public Service, a non-partisan charity
