The Small Business Administration (SBA) is preparing to cut 43% of its workforce, citing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency as the impetus behind the employee terminations.

The agency, which employs more than 6,000 workers, said in a statement Friday that it plans to cut “non-essential roles” and return to staffing levels from before the COVID-19 pandemic.
