Amidst their attempt to save government money, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been firing people from almost all federal departments.
Donald Trump and DOGE have been on a mission to save the government’s money by any means possible. This includes stopping funding to several projects and firing hundreds of federal employees.
None of these steps were expected by anyone, and they surprised everyone. However, one decision that even shocked Republicans was when DOGE decided to terminate 300-400 employees who were stationed at nuclear weapon stations.
These were National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) staff. They were in charge of creating and managing the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. They were among a greater number of employees fired from the Energy Department.
Everyone around the world was taken aback when Elon Musk-led DOGE fired more than 30% of nuclear weapon workers.
