How Trump and Elon Musk's chaotic policy has impacted tens to thousands of US government workers

The Trump administration, with Elon Musk's assistance, has initiated measures to downsize the federal government, leading to significant workforce reductions. Musk is leading DOGE, an advisory body formed to slash federal spendings. Facing constant stress and demoralization, tens of thousands of government workers have opted for buyouts or early retirement. Lawsuits challenging these actions are underway, with a judge temporarily halting layoffs at several agencies, citing the need for Congressional approval.
