Billionaire Elon Musk’s plan to cut $2 trillion in US government spending apparently includes replacing tens of thousands of federal workers with AI, but the move could produce disastrous results, several AI experts say.
President Donald Trump’s administration has already laid off about 10,000 federal workers after Musk and the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have gained access to internal agency information. Musk has claimed, without extensive evidence, that he’s found massive amounts of fraud and government waste.
The ultimate goal of Musk and DOGE is to replace “the human workforce with machines,” says a US official monitoring the cost-cutting activities. “Everything that can be machine-automated will be,” the official tells the Washington Post. “And the technocrats will replace the bureaucrats.”
