About 75,000 federal employees have left the ship and decided to accept President Trump's delayed Buyout program after a federal court had lifted a temporary freezing of the offer.
De Buy -Out was just one of the many approaches Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have dismantled inflated bureaucracies and reduced a civil workfell of 2.3 million.
Trump explained the victory on Wednesday evening and closed the offer to everyone who has not yet accepted.
He also ordered government agencies to prepare for broad jobs, and several have already started firing recent employees who do not have full job security.
Civil servants have told you to prepare staff possessions of up to 70% on some agencies, sources say.
Trade unions had encouraged their members not to accept the buy -out and have warned that Trump cannot be trusted to honor it. The offer promises employees to pay their regular salaries and benefits until October without having to work.
The first Exodus came when Elon Musk celebrated the approaching purification and the critics warned “The Matrix is ​​being programmed again.”
The radical vision of the billionaire to revise the government has begun to take shape when he starts dismantling federal agencies, which could see no less than 40 percent of the personnel property.

Trump deposed Musk to lead the newly created doge, which is combined by payment and personnel records in an attempt to cut $ 1 trillion from the federal budget, which was $ 6.75 trillion last year.
Salaries from the citizen member are good for less than 5% of that total.
A trade union that represents hundreds of thousands of federal employees and others charged last week to stop the deadline of the deferred Buyout offer of 6 February.
But the district judge George O'Toole van Massachusetts ruled that the trade unions are not to challenge the directive and are not immediately affected.
O'Toole, a President Clinton -appointed, lifted the temporary restraining ban on Tuesday.
“Hurt employees can submit claims through the administrative process,” he also wrote.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and other trade unions complained before the deadline of 6 February for federal employees to accept the 'deferred dismissal' of the Trump government last week.
The deadline was temporarily put on hold while a hearing was held on Monday.

Musk has warned critics' The matrix is ​​being programmed again, while he is involved in dismantling federal government agencies through massive dismissals that aim to reduce no less than 40 percent of employees.
He used a Star Trek -reference on Wednesday evening to praise his team to reprogram the 'Matrix … to make success one of the possible results'.
“They didn't expect this,” he wrote. “K Maru,” he added, referring to the Star Trek Training exercise of overcoming an “unwanted” task.
The billionaire founder of Tesla and 'First Buddy' also shared various videos that emphasized the performance of Doge during the first month at Trump's office.
Musk's reference to the 'Matrix' seems to be related to a theory that the world is manipulated and controlled by shadow figures. The film with the same name shows a dystopian future in which humanity is imprisoned in a simulation of reality made by machines – also known as 'The Matrix'.
Employees in different departments received an e -mail from an official within the Office or Personnel Management – now run by Musk's allies – who confirmed that widespread dismissals are underway.
These are described as a 'reduction of strength'.
According to the Washington Post, departments that are favored by President Trump will probably escape the victims of the changes – namely the Ministry of Defense and the Homeland Security department.

White House officials have not confirmed that figure and insiders say that there is still room for fluctuating.
During Musk's X Post Spree on Wednesday evening he shared a video of a press conference that President Trump had held earlier in the day because of the work that Doge has already done.
“I want to recommend Elon because he has done a fantastic one – he doesn't need this,” said Trump. “He is abused by you every day. He has found more things than anyone could find. He has the credibility to do it.
'His group of people, they started with 12, I call them 12 geniuses. They started with 12, they went to 20 and 25 and now they are up to almost 100. People participate to help them. This is a huge fraud that has taken place. '
On Tuesday, President Trump signed a new executive order that the agency instructs' to 'make immediate preparations to initiate large -scale reductions in force'.
Musk's Doge, together with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), has also been given major powers to do more control over hiring a federal employee.
President Trump started a 90-day recruitment inspection when he returned to the White House for his second term.
“People voted for major government reform and that is what people will get,” said Musk on Tuesday, from the Oval Office.

Just over three percent of employees would have admitted the administration if the deadline was paused
“They are going to get what they voted for.”
One of the tactics includes departments of employees who are still in their probationary period – which can take up to two years in some agencies.
These employees have a limited story available to go back to the decision and amount to seven percent of the entire civilian workforce of two million.
But the purification was not without a hiccup on the way. Some employees of the Small Business Association reported that they received an e -mail on Monday in which they informed them that they had ended, just to get a follow -up e -mail that catches it up.
“If you receive the first notification,” the e -mail has read, “your employment has not been terminated as is wrongly stated in the first notification.”
Then a third e -mail came on Tuesday who told them that they were actually being released.
Employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau claimed the position that they received an e -mail that ended their contracts that seemed to be wrongly sent, including unfinished contacts that have read '[EmployeeFirstName] [EmployeeLastName]'And comment,' I will remove you from your position [JobTitle]. '
Doge estimated that between five and 10 percent of government workers would accept the offer and that it would save an estimated $ 100 billion a year.
The offer as presented by the OPM gave all federal employees the option to resign from their current position, but remained on the payroll with all the benefits until 30 September.
The E -mail gave knowledge that most federal employees had to work again five days a week. For those who have accepted the offer, they would be exempt from personal work requirements.
