On Tuesday, Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman slammed what he said were attempts by the Biden administration to “make permanent the Deep State” in a post on X.

What Happened: Ackman said, “Biden is attempting to make permanent the Deep State before he leaves office by burdening the government with untenable contracts so that [Donald Trump] and [Department of Government Efficiency] cannot succeed.”

The American Federation of Government Employees and the Social Security Administration reached an agreement last week, safeguarding telework until 2029. The AFGE represents 42,000 SSA workers. Biden’s recently departed SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley finalized a new deal that protects the worker’s current remote work agreements.

The report suggested that unions have been pushing the Biden administration to renew collective bargaining agreements with federal employees ahead of the Trump inauguration on January 20.

Why It Matters: DOGE been vocal about their plans to cut government spending and streamline operations. Musk has been using his social media platform to criticize specific government departments and individuals.

Ackman said earlier this month that he would consider joining DOGE. Notably, Ackman is a strong supporter of the President-elect and has stated that he is unfazed by market reactions to a second Trump administration.
