'None of This Is About Saving Money': Fury Over Trump-Musk Purge of Federal Workers | Common Dreams
www.commondreams.org
The "mass firing spree," said one union leader, is "about gutting the federal government, silencing workers, and forcing agencies into submission to a radical agenda that prioritizes cronyism over competence."

Summary

The Trump administration, led by Elon Musk, has escalated its mass firing of federal workers, dismissing thousands across multiple agencies.

Union leaders condemn the purge as a politically motivated power grab rather than a cost-saving measure.

Many workers received no notice or due process, while chaotic termination notices deepened confusion.

Critics link the firings to Project 2025’s goal of dismantling government oversight, warning it will lead to corruption and benefit the wealthy.
