Latest X posts of Elon are very vocal about Federal employees not working whole week as everyone is supposed to. Elon and Vivek, via DOGE, are hinting that they will get rid of departments and employees who don’t work every day in the office.
Gary Gensler, the big boss at the SEC, announced he’s leaving on January 20, 2025. He shared this on X:
“On January 20, 2025, I will be stepping down as @SECGov Chair.”
But Elon Musk, who’s always got something to say, had a laugh at Gensler’s expense:
“Is it true that the SEC only works one day a month in the office?”
Elon Musk’s jab isn’t just for laughs; it’s part of a bigger picture where he, along with Vivek Ramaswamy, often critiques the efficiency of federal employees, particularly regarding their work-from-home arrangements.
Musk and Ramaswamy, leaders in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President-elect Donald Trump, have been vocal about their belief that many government workers aren’t as productive when working remotely. They argue that a return to office five days a week could lead to “voluntary terminations,” helping to streamline the government’s workforce.
This initiative by DOGE aims to make government operations more like the private sector, where efficiency and presence are highly valued. Musk’s tweet about the SEC is a light-hearted yet pointed critique of what he perceives as inefficiency within federal agencies.
For those who back Trump’s vision of a less bureaucratic government and Musk’s entrepreneurial spirit, this critique resonates. They see it as part of a push for less government interference in business, promoting a culture where innovation isn’t hindered by outdated practices or overregulation.
As we look forward, Musk and Ramaswamy’s comments on work ethics, especially highlighted by Musk’s tweet, might be setting the stage for changes in how federal work policies are approached. Their leadership in DOGE could lead to a new era where government efficiency is paramount.
