Elon Musk has been on a mission to slash and burn the federal government since his appointment to office, following his recent layoff of 6,000 employees. Tuck your tiny fingers into your hand the next time you attempt to wash the dishes. After that, try the same with your thumbs to see how difficult it is. Afterwards, make sure your elbows are in constant contact with your ribs. Stand on one leg while closing one eye for the third time. In addition to the humiliation of having to justify your actions to the inquisitive neighbors across the street, you’ll soon discover that even the seemingly straightforward task of cleaning up becomes nearly impossible.
Recent mass layoffs from Elon Musk threaten the Country’s Food Security
Elon Musk intends to change the federal government in this way. Even if you might manage without your small fingers, it’s just dumb to be without thumbs, upper arms, or legs, much less an eye. Indeed, the federal government needs to reduce its workforce. Every business has middle-management employees who don’t seem to accomplish anything; if you don’t know who it is at work, it’s you. Musk’s excessively drastic cuts are making it harder for the government to operate at all.
Although the unelected South African’s reckless strategy of mass firings in the name of his hilariously comical DOGE may have pleased the guy vying for the throne of the United States of America, it has been a complete catastrophe. The federal government’s ability to continue operating at all is becoming less certain as time goes on, and over 6,000 jobs have been eliminated in around three weeks. From one day to the next, everyone has been gone, including inspectors, sniffer dog handlers, biologists, and specialized technicians, and chaos has ensued in all departments. For example, the USDA has announced a temporary pause of 45 days due to the cuts that have incapacitated them.
CNN reports that the government has also stopped funding two programs that gave farmers in 40 states more than $1 billion to give fresh food to schools, food banks, and charities. One question stands out amid all of this chaos: Why is this Musk’s plan? The Huffington Post suggests that the states may face an agricultural catastrophe shortly. The richest man in the world isn’t cutting you to make ends meet. To make money, they have a deliberate strategy to undermine public institutions and make it easier for private businesses to enter different industries.
Tesla’s sales have plunged after Elon Musk’s backlash
Following criticism of its CEO, Elon Musk, Tesla’s sales have fallen to their lowest point in three years. Nearly 337,000 electric cars were shipped by the electric vehicle manufacturer in the first three months of 2025, a 13% decrease from the same period last year. Early Wednesday trading saw a decline in Tesla shares following the announcement of the poor sales figures. Although the Chinese company BYD is becoming a bigger competitor in the automobile industry, some think Musk’s contentious involvement in the Trump administration has also had an impact.
The switch to a new model of its best-selling vehicle has been attributed by the company to the decline in sales. Nonetheless, several analysts have blamed Musk directly. Ross Gerber, an early Tesla investor, attacked the company’s financial performance, claiming that the brand is “broken” and may not be fixable, despite previously supporting Musk and subsequently lobbying for his departure as CEO. Elon Musk’s controversial role in President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency plan, which intends to decrease federal expenditures and government personnel, has provoked worldwide protests and boycotts.
