Summary

Donald Trump’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has reportedly hired a 21-year-old senior advisor and a freshly graduated high schooler, showing the administration’s unconventional hiring approach.

Many new appointees have ties to Elon Musk, including OPM’s chief of staff Amanda Scales, formerly of xAI.

The administration is restructuring government staffing, influenced by Musk’s cost-cutting model.

A White House memo, echoing Musk’s 2022 Twitter overhaul, offers buyouts to employees unwilling to meet new performance standards.
