In a significant blow to Elon Musk's plans, a large number of federal technology staffers, including engineers, data scientists, and product managers, have resigned from their positions. This mass resignation is seen as a temporary setback for Musk and the Republican president's tech-driven overhaul of the federal workforce, which aims to leverage emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain. The exodus highlights the challenges faced by the administration in implementing its vision, with popular cryptocurrencies like DOGE and tech innovations taking a backseat. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the federal government will address the brain drain and move forward with its tech initiatives.
