Elon Musk has exposed another issue of Government inefficiently, this time it is the ridiculously inefficient Federal Government retirement system. Endless rows of filing cabinets and boxes with manilla folders fill an old limestone mine in Boyers, Pennsylvania. Inside these folders are retirement papers for all Federal employees. The space is as big as or bigger than a supermarket. The mine employs over 700 people and is 230 feet underground.
BREAKING: DOGE is looking into federal workers who have a high net worth despite having a low salary, according to Elon Musk.

WILD. Elon says the most number of people that can retire in a month is 10,000 because the government uses a limestone mine to hold all retirement paperwork which is done manually and stored via a shaft

There is a physical limit of 10,000 Federal employees per month who can retire, as that is the human capacity limit. The speed of human hands, feet, and the elevator shaft are all bottlenecks to the processing retirement paperwork. And, of course, this operation costs tens of millions to run every year. This system may have been all that was available in 1955 when the mine was first used for its current purpose. Obviously, there are modern ways to accomplish this goal without 700 employees dressed in business casual in a limestone mine.
Elon Musk’s DOGE program has so far been amazing in uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse in the Federal Government. Billions of dollars of unnecessary expenditures have already been cut.
