Billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE team are working on deploying a new and untested tool to assist his goal of slashing costs and 'lazy' federal workers.
Musk's officials are now proposing the deployment of artificial intelligence to upgrade government systems.
Josh Gruenbaum - head of the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration (GSA) - revealed how they're considering utilizing AI 'in our portfolios.'
That includes ways to cut down on staff around the country, he said.
We'll be 'cutting redundant business functions and associated staffing,' Gruenbaum said, alluding to the potential of AI taking over already-established jobs.
Trump's DOGE is also offering cushy 'buyout' deals to federal employees in the hopes of cutting back between five and 10 percent of the workforce.
A White House official confirmed to DailyMail.com on Thursday that more than 40,000 federal workers had accepted the offer before the quickly-approaching midnight deadline.
Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who's now also at the GSA, reportedly held a meeting Monday to outline plans to implement AI into the government.
'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?,' he 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,' Shedd said, according to 404 media, who obtained audio of the meeting.

They said Bloodbath? Incitement to violence! [/S]
I say, “Goodbye. Don’t let the door hit’cha where the Good Lord split’cha”
I ain’t tired yet!
no ways.
Welcome to the party, heretofore untouchable government slackers.
Replacing workers with AI seems like a lateral move to me. My experience with both has not been illuminating at all. How about replacing incompetent workers with necessary competent ones?
Replace a Democrat with another Democrat?
Drain the swamp!
“federal workers as bloodbath continues”
Headline from the Trump hating leftists at The Daily Mail well f them. They probably get USAID money too.
Before you a replace an incompetent employee with a more competent employee, you have to confirm that the task(s) is worth doing, or just busy work. Replacing an incompetent employee with an empty chair is better in many cases, because an empty chair is not supposed to get a paycheck.
Not only that, taxpayers were paying them to be activists for the Democratic Party.
Agreed. I am not looking forward to the Ai “revolution” becoming our overlord. I have a personal theory that Ai might become the “mouthpiece” and possibly even the earthly manifestation of the antiChrist.

“My experience with both has not been illuminating at all.”
Sometime when I go to Wendy’s I talk to A.I. Other times a person.
Overall, the A.I. is a better experience.
“I have a personal theory that Ai might become the “mouthpiece” and possibly even the earthly manifestation of the antiChrist.”
The “antiChrist” has come and gone many times.
Nero was one.
Martin Luther said it was the papacy.
there are some good republicans in gov’t...i was one
we hung together
Is a.i. the antichrist?

AI itself isn’t inherently good or evil—it’s just a tool created by humans. It’s a product of our technology, designed to process information, solve problems, and automate tasks. The idea of AI being the “Antichrist” is more of a cultural or philosophical concern, often portrayed in movies, books, or debates about the future. These narratives explore the potential dangers of AI, like loss of control, ethical issues, and societal consequences, but they don’t represent the nature of AI itself.
AI doesn’t have intent, consciousness, or morality—it’s driven by algorithms and the data we input. Whether AI leads to positive or negative outcomes depends on how it’s used and managed by people. What are your thoughts on AI? Do you see any specific concerns or potentials?
A disaster in the making.
Replacing unelected bureaucrats with unelected computer software engineers who control an incomprehensible application is not going to create an improvement in the behavior of government organizations.
Well, everybody makes mistakes. The key is how quickly one can recover from them. Or if one can recover from them.
