Just two weeks ago, DOGE chief Elon Musk drew attention to the fact federal employees' retirements are still processed by hand and on paper in a Pennsylvania limestone mine that is home to millions of documents and files.

Musk said the unique location and process were something "out of a time warp."

"There's a limestone mine where we store all the retirement paperwork," Musk told reporters inside the Oval Office. "The limiting factor is the speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government."

Apparently, the agency that processes those retirements, the Office of Personnel Management, was challenged by Trump administration officials to digitize the process. And, in something that contravenes the usual slowness of government work, the agency claims to have done so in a mere week.
