A judge on Thursday suspended a scheme masterminded by billionaire Elon Musk to slash the size of the US government by encouraging federal workers to quit through a mass buyout. The federal judge in Massachusetts ordered a temporary injunction on the plan’s deadline — midnight Thursday — given by Musk for the country’s more than two million government employees.
