Oh, @Monkey Man , one of the first things you learn at business school is to recognise that the easiest way for a manager to cut costs is by firing people. Especially bad managers with no ideas. Just look at what happened with Twitter.
I'm pretty certain Elon doesn't really care for people like you or I do. Doesn't matter if they're government servants or whatever, I'd hate to see people struggling financially because they got the axe.
And with Trump planning to cut taxes, there'll be no money to take care of them. Unless, of course, there's more Communism and more handouts and more printing of bills.
