Elon Musk Proposes Return-to-Office Mandate for Federal Employees in Trump Administration to Save Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions

Nov 25, 2024, 02:17 PM

Elon Musk, appointed by Donald Trump, has proposed a plan aimed at significantly reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy. This initiative includes a strict return-to-office mandate for federal employees, requiring them to work five days a week. Musk argues that this policy could lead to a wave of voluntary terminations among federal workers, which he sees as beneficial for American taxpayers. He claims that the overall changes could save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars annually. The plan is part of a broader strategy to streamline government agencies and regulations, which could also have implications for Musk's business interests.
