Musk and Ramaswamy also suggest that Trump could impose rules like requiring federal employees to return to the office five days per week, which they say could bring “voluntary terminations” they would welcome. “If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home.”

This is probably the least destructive proposal, but it highlights the mentality of a typical narcissist CEO.

Could save money by not paying for unnecessary office space, but nope, we actually want to cripple the government and coerce people into quitting

They will also propose giving up office space and making everyone "hotel" with no assigned desks.

They're basically MAGA McKinsey.
