For example, if the X-ray technician at the VA clinic takes the buyout, that medical facility isn't just going to stop doing X-rays.

You sure?

I'm pretty sure Musk, et al, want exactly that. They want many departments/agencies to close entirely. The easiest way to do that is to make it useless, and then declare "it's useless, we may as well close it". So it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they wouldn't want to hire an X-ray tech (in your example).
