Musk will be with Trump as he signs new executive orders that are aimed as solidifying Department of Government Efficiency's ability to do its job.
DOGE is a government entity tasked to go after government waste and decrease the country's $2 trillion deficit.A White House fact sheet obtained by the Associated Press states the order is intended to advance Musk 's work slashing spending with his DOGE. It said that "agencies will undertake plans for large-scale reductions in force and determine which agency components may be eliminated or combined because their functions aren't required by law."
It also said that agencies should "hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart from federal service." There are plans for exceptions when it comes to immigration, law enforcement and public safety. Trump and Musk are pushing federal workers to resign in return for financial incentives, although their plan is currently on hold while a judge reviews its legality. The deferred resignation program, commonly described as a buyout, would allow employees to quit and still get paid until Sept. 30. Administration officials said more than 65,000 workers have taken the offer.Editor's Note:
