The General Services Administration, staffed at its upper levels by Elon Musk associates, plans to sell 500-plus buildings—some of which house government agencies and the offices of US senators.

Employees at the
General Services Administration (GSA) have been told to sell off 500-plus
federal government buildings across the US, sources tell WIRED.
WIRED obtained a complete list of GSA buildings, all of which are designated as “core” or “non-core” assets. Of the more than 1,500 assets identified on the list, over 900 are designated as “core” and are thus protected, for now, from sale. The “core” designation applies to buildings like federal courthouses, border inspection stations, or law enforcement facilities.

Many of the federal buildings on the list of non-core real estate are fully occupied, sources tell WIRED. This includes buildings like the Senator Paul Simon Federal Building in Carbondale, Illinois, which houses offices for the Federal Aviation Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Social Security Administration, in addition to offices for Durbin, as well as the Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building in Detroit, Michigan, which also houses numerous agencies. The Trump administration has also touted a
return-to-office requirement as a key part of its plan—something made more difficult if government employees don’t have an office to return to.
