The FDA plans to rehire around 300 people in total, according to four sources with secondhand knowledge of the situation, following President Donald Trump's rush last week to fire employees at the agency responsible for reviewing drugs, food safety, medical devices and tobacco.
Reuters could not verify the figure. Elon Musk, the world's richest person, who oversees Neuralink and spent more than $250 million to help elect Trump, has been leading an effort to cut federal workers with his Department of Government Efficiency, including at the FDA. Thousands have been cut.
It is not known who ordered the firings and now the rehirings, according to sources familiar with the situation, including several employees caught up in the turmoil.
At least 11 employees working at the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health — which oversees medical device reviews — have received calls since Friday saying they could return to work on Monday, according to eight FDA sources who spoke under condition of anonymity. Some of the sources were told the FDA would continue making requests to return throughout the weekend.
