Elon Musk's Tech-Driven Federal Downsizing: A Workforce Reshaping Revolution
The federal human resources agency, pivotal to Elon Musk's initiative to reduce the federal workforce, is introducing software to expedite layoffs in the U.S. government. The software, which updates the Pentagon's AutoRIF program, aims to streamline the downsizing process even as Musk re-focuses on his business ventures.

The federal human resources agency spearheading Elon Musk's ambitious federal workforce reduction is set to implement new software designed to hasten governmental layoffs, sources informed Reuters.
This newly revamped software updates the long-unused Pentagon's AutoRIF program, easing the current manual, cumbersome layoff procedures. The initiative comes as President Trump pushes for a leaner federal workforce.
Despite the efficiency promises, experts caution against inherent automation risks, emphasizing potential widespread errors. As Musk returns to private sector pursuits, the downsizing plans continue under the Department of Government Efficiency's oversight.
