I’ve read where Musk and Ramaswami are proposing a 75% cut in the federal workforce. That’s absurd.

• National security-related agencies account for roughly 70% of the civilian workforce. The largest employers were the Department of Veterans Affairs, with 487,000 workers, followed by the armed services, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Justice Department. Republicans in Congress are not going to propose a 75% cut in the Armed forces and law enforcement;

• Outside of the DC area, the highest concentrations of federal employees are mostly in red states. GOP congressmen aren’t going to cut off those federal tax dollars to their districts.

Like with Trump tariffs, these massive layoff threats are just bloviation.
