Summary
Elon Musk and his allies have reportedly taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and bypassed officials to send a mass resignation email to over 2.3 million federal employees.
The email, titled “Fork in the Road,” offers buyouts to those who voluntarily resign, mirroring a similar approach Musk used at Twitter.
Musk has placed close associates in leadership positions at OPM, raising concerns over his growing influence in Trump’s administration.
Federal employees remain skeptical about the buyout’s legitimacy.
Half the country supports this and thinks the government doesn’t do anything. They’ve completely bought into the right wing narrative. This was the inevitable conclusion to that. Now these ghouls are going to break everything.
Even if Democrats got elected now, the damage to institutions will take decades to fix. And most of the country is barely aware of any of it.
