Feds Rehire 25,000 wrongfully fired employees; Musk & DOGE are WASTING, NOT SAVING, Taxpayer $$$ - Glenn Kirschner



The federal government is now rehiring 25,000 public servants that Trump/Musk/DOGE unlawfully fired.

Think about this: after being wrongfully terminated, those federal workers sat at home for a month or more performing no work for the American people. But because Musk and Trump fired them unlawfully, they will very likely receive back pay for the time they were at home. This represents Musk and DOGE squandering our taxpayer dollars rather than saving the government money.

What is the best way to truly make government more efficient? Fire Elon Musk. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/20/2025.

Gone, I'll bet. Gone to a pile to be trashed or already trashed. You can bet we are talking about millions of dollars to replace that hardware and furniture and months, if not years, to put them back to work. With the equipment they had and used daily.
