AI Summary:
President Donald Trump has offered most federal workers the option to leave their government jobs by next week. The buyout offer was announced in a memo issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) it said the Trump administration would begin subjecting federal employees to “enhanced standards of suitability and conduct” and warned of future downsizing. The email to public workers resembled a message sent to Twitter employees. It asked for an emailed response if they wanted to stay at the company. Musk spent more than $270m to help Trump and other Republicans win election in November.

Can you imagine if literally everybody took the offer? It would be objectively horrible for the entire nation, but imagine the backpedaling as they realize like “oh fuck we have nobody handling taxes anymore” and musk derives some harebrained AI scheme that ends up being the best accidental wealth redistribution scheme possible.
