Federal agencies have offered exits to millions of employees and tested the prowess of engineers — just like when Elon Musk bought Twitter. The similarities have been uncanny.

Elon Musk is only one week into his role in President Donald Trump’s new administration, but the US federal government is already rolling out the Twitter playbook to manage its spending and personnel.

Around the same time as Musk’s post, hundreds of thousands of federal workers received an email also titled “Fork in the Road,” with a similar offer: Simply send an email to the Office of Personnel Management with the word “Resign” in the subject line, and you’ll receive eight months’ pay, so long as you reply before Feb. 6.

The tech billionaire and top Trump ally visited the General Services Administration, which appears to be a key part of his crusade to cut the cost of government buildings.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk seems to have inspired the Trump administration’s latest bold move to restructure the federal workforce, a move that mirrors the one he made when he bought Twitter. The Trump administration on Tuesday sent a blunt ultimatum to federal employees.

The Trump administration offered an ultimatum to some federal employees asking them to choose if they want to resign in a pitch that echoes Elon Musk's moves at Twitter.
