Part 2/8:
In President Donald Trump's first month in office, Musk was already making headlines. His administration announced notable downsizing efforts characterized by rapid decision-making and significant layoffs—a stark contrast to the slower, more deliberative processes traditionally associated with government operations. The administration's approach has raised eyebrows, with a staggering two million federal employees receiving buyout offers similar to those previously seen at Twitter.
While Musk views such speed as a productive means of creating change, critics argue that the fast-paced environment is inherently ill-suited to the complexities of governmental responsibilities, particularly issues that deeply affect people's lives, such as Social Security and veterans’ benefits.
