In a bold move that has sparked controversy, engineers working for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, are developing innovative software designed to automate the mass termination of federal employees. This ambitious project is intended to streamline what its creators view as an outdated system, and sources tell WIRED that the new software “could assist mass firings of federal workers across government,” raising concerns over the potential impact on public-sector stability and the ethics of automating such consequential decisions.

• Engineers at DOGE, part of Elon Musk's initiative, are developing software aimed at automating federal workforce reductions.
• The project is intended to modernize a process that some view as inefficient in the public sector.
• Sources indicate that the software “could assist mass firings of federal workers across government,” an approach that has already sparked significant debate.
• The initiative is part of a broader effort by DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, to overhaul government operations.
• Critics worry about the ethical implications and potential disruptions caused by automating large-scale employment decisions in the federal landscape.
