"The thing that concerns me the most about what Bezos announced yesterday, and you mentioned the word fear, was that the fear that he must have that he obviously does have and other billionaires have it, other tech pros have it that it creeps onto the reportorial product," MSNBC regular Mike Barnicle prompted Remnick. "That is a real fear that I have. Do you share?"

"Of course, I have that fear," Remnick exclaimed. "I haven't seen it, to be honest, in the newsroom of the Washington Post, but I do know that the fear and anxiety has leached onto the newsroom floor so that, according to people at the Washington Post, not a few people have applied to flee the Post for the New York Times, but hundreds of people at the Washington Post have applied for jobs elsewhere, particularly the Times, the Post and so on."

A Newsmax pundit argued that members of President Donald Trump's cabinet were feigning support of billionaire Elon Musk when the group applauded him at their first official White House meeting on Wednesday.

During the cabinet meeting, Trump asked the agency heads if they had any complaints about Musk or his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, the group applauded Musk instead of speaking up.

President Donald Trump suggested he could fire up to a million government workers who didn't respond to Elon Musk's request for an email justifying their jobs.

At the first Cabinet meeting of the second Trump administration, Musk was asked what would happen to employees who didn't respond to his request.

Employees connected to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are reportedly updating government software that would automate the firing of federal workers.

In a report on Tuesday, Wired revealed that DOGE had obtained access to a Department of Defense software program called AutoRIF — which is shorthand for Automated Reduction in Force.
