President Donald Trump on Tuesday offered most federal workers the option to leave their jobs in exchange for eight months severance, in his most radical move yet to drastically overhaul the government.
The announcement, apparently inspired by Elon Musk’s uncompromising management of his companies, followed an attempted freeze on federal funding also ordered by Trump that opponents blasted as unconstitutional.
The emailed severance offer put the lives of US civil servants into disarray hours after the healthcare system for millions of low-income Americans was disrupted in the confusion of the decision to cut off federal aid.
A senior administration official told NBC News that the White House expects between five and 10 percent of federal staff to quit and around $100 billion in savings.
The email to public workers resembled a message that was sent to Twitter employees when it was taken over by Musk in late 2022 that asked for an emailed response if they wanted to stay at the company that was later renamed X.
