The piece includes the voice and perspective of a government worker reaching out directly to Elon Musk, encapsulating concerns about the long-term impacts of these sweeping changes.

• Officials have openly questioned the productivity and contributions of some government employees.
• Policy adjustments and agency closures have resulted in more than two million federal workers quitting.
