CoinVoice has learned that, according to Jinshi's report, about 75,000 federal employees have signed up for a voluntary resignation plan initiated by the "Government Efficiency Department" led by Musk. This is lower than the number the White House hoped for, increasing the possibility of further large-scale layoffs.

Sources confirmed that this figure represents about 3% of the total 2.4 million federal civilian employees, while the White House had previously set a target of 5% to 10%. The so-called "buyout" plan allows federal employees to leave in February while continuing to receive pay until the end of September. The plan stopped accepting applications on Wednesday night. The Trump administration has repeatedly warned federal employees that the "buyout" plan may be their best opportunity. Trump has ordered federal agencies to prepare for workforce reductions.
