They tried the "buy-out" which was transparently a scam, illegal, unprofessional, unauthorized by Congress, and obviously came from people who aren't in the government and unfamiliar with how the government works. Luckily, most people just ignored it. Unfortunately, as a manager I have had to participate in no less than an entire work day of meetings over the past week to figure out exactly what is being offered and how it impacts my staff and my agency.
The 6 day turnaround given to staff to resign under threat of possible firing later was clearly to sow fear and chaos. Since that original email, they've followed up with contradictory and confusing memos which have not made any of this more clear. This is, again, part of the strategy to confuse and demoralize.
In addition, Musk and his minions have taken over at least three federal agencies, locked out staff, and stolen private, confidential information from EVERY AMERICAN. Congress has not authorized ANY OF THIS, but Republicans don't care. In my 34 years of government experience, Congress has always been protective of the agencies they oversee and they fight any encroachment by the Executive Branch. Now that the Executive Branch is their would-be dictator Trump, MAGA in Congress don't care how much power it costs them.
THIS IS AN ONGOING COUP AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

In addition, Trump's cabinet choices, widely derided as uniquely unqualified when he made them, seem to be flying towards confirmation due to almost universal support by Senate MAGA. They've approved or are about to approve a drunk cheater as Secretary of Defense, an alcoholic, science-denying nutjob as head of Health and Human Services, and an obviously compromised Russian mole as Director of National Intelligence. Vlad Putin must be ecstatic right now as this band of corrupt, stupid, traitors are quickly taking over the US government.
Unless lawsuits are effective at slowing this down or MAGA in Congress grow a conscience and a spine, we're screwed. The United States has been effectively conquered in two weeks.
