Elon Musk's agency plans massive federal office closures

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency plans to close hundreds of federal offices this summer by terminating real estate leases. Internal documents reveal that many cancellations will take effect by June 30, affecting agencies like the IRS and Social Security Administration. The rapid lease terminations aim to save about $500 million but have raised concerns among agencies and lawmakers. Some cancellations have already been rescinded due to errors, and agencies are struggling to adapt to the sudden changes. The real estate industry is surprised by the mass cancellations, which disrupt long-standing agreements. Agencies are uncertain about their next steps, and the impact on public services remains unclear as the situation develops.
