JUST IN: DOGE Makes ‘Groundbreaking’ Move To Replace Bureaucrats As Federal ‘Bloodbath’ Commences

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and his DOGE team are exploring artificial intelligence as a potential solution to streamline government operations and reduce costs. The initiative aims to replace certain bureaucratic functions with AI.

Musk has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with government inefficiencies, arguing that AI could enhance productivity by handling administrative tasks, procurement, and regulatory oversight. Josh Gruenbaum, head of the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration (GSA), disclosed their consideration of using AI “in our portfolios.”

This includes plans to reduce staff across the nation. “We’ll be ‘cutting redundant business functions and associated staffing,'” Gruenbaum said earlier this week, indicating the likelihood of AI replacing existing positions.

On Tuesday, employees at the GSA were informed that the agency plans to cut staff and reduce its presence nationwide. This move highlights the Trump administration’s commitment to quickly decreasing the size of the federal workforce.

In an email, Gruenbaum, a Trump appointee, communicated to employees that the agency would be “cutting redundant business functions and associated staffing.” He also noted that the organization will no longer require workers in “certain areas of the country,” according to The New York Times.

On Thursday, a White House official confirmed to DailyMail that over 40,000 federal employees had accepted a buyout offer before the rapidly approaching midnight deadline. Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer now with the GSA, led a meeting on Monday detailing plans to integrate AI into government operations.

“I’m not saying that this is an easy task, but it is a task that’s worth trying to pursue and one that only we can do as an internal team, right?” Shedd said. “We can’t bring a third party in, hire them, and have them work on a project like this. It has to be an internal technology team that works on this,” he explained, as reported by 404 media, who accessed audio from the meeting.

Shedd also discussed his plans to incorporate AI into the Social Security system to assist in “identifying individuals and detecting and preventing fraud.”

“Things are going to get intense,” he warned officials during the meeting.

Gruenbaum also issued a caution as approximately 2 million federal employees nationwide face a critical decision by Thursday: whether to take an offer that allows them to resign but continue to receive pay through the end of September. Trump administration officials reported on Tuesday that tens of thousands of federal workers have already opted to leave.

A later email to GSA employees on Tuesday indicated that the deadline for deferred resignation was just the start of workforce reductions. The deadline was described as a “first step,” and the agency would proceed with “right-sizing” its workforce, according to the email The Times obtained.

The message noted that the agency has plans to shut down or merge many of its approximately 700 field offices. Gruenbaum said in the email, “We’ll be looking at operations in every portfolio to strengthen our business and comply with the directive from the president to reduce the federal workforce.”

He added, “We can and must make tough decisions to create a leaner and more agile organization.”
