Gov. Kathy Hochul blasted Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) on Monday after she met with federal workers who felt the ax from President Trump’s billionaire right-hand man.
The governor held a roundtable discussion at her Manhattan office with those recently laid off as part of Musk’s DOGE cutbacks. The meeting aimed to shed light on the unexpected layoffs and marked the expansion of Hochul’s “You’re Hired” initiative to recruit experienced public sector workers into New York’s state service.
