When you work for the federal government, there’s a great probability you might be getting a pink slip – or at the least a severance package before getting shown the door in the brand new Trump Administration, On The Money has learned.
In a move to tame the leviathan generally known as the vast federal workforce, President-elect Donald Trump created a latest “Department of Government Efficiency,” headed by Tesla chief Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
The dynamic duo – tasked with hacking $2 trillion in costs of waste and abuse – have their eyes set on eliminating swaths of presidency jobs which have been considered untouchable due to civil service rules, people near the matter said.
They’re taking a look at ways around those rules. During Trump I, The Donald signed an executive order designed to grant the White House power to fireside civil servants if it does so en masse; it’s good to whack whole departments relatively than individual jobs to get around civil service rules.
They’re also weighing private-sector methods that include doling out severance packages. Businesses do that on a regular basis after all; for some short-term pain when it comes to upfront costs you gain greater savings in the long run.
Nevertheless it’s unusual for the general public, and the cuts are sure to face resistance; that’s why Trump advisers are weighing severance agreements — paying salaries and advantages for a few years — to entice people to depart before their jobs are eliminated, people near Trump tell On The Money.

All of us understand how much Trump hates the so-called deep state – those allegedly nameless and faceless bureaucrats that wield enormous power in government. In point of fact, these people have faces and names, and there are actually tens of tens of millions of them that hold powerful positions at various federal agencies that actually don’t know anyone within the White House.
Musk and Ramaswamy were key economic advisers to Trump throughout the campaign and each consider the federal government is more wasteful than any business they’ve ever seen. Elon is especially adept at cutting inefficient jobs; recall after buying Twitter and renaming it X he eliminated upwards of 80% of the social media platform’s workforce without much of a hitch.
Nobody likes getting fired, particularly a government employee who can phone it in from home more often than not. Which means, this might get messy, however the Trump people say the battle is vital. And so they have the suitable people to steer the hassle.
