superfluous

Musk has shown no hesitation, in the private sector, to eliminate jobs he considers superfluous.

Project 2025 proposes a major reorganization of the EPA, which would include the reduction of full-time staff positions and the elimination of departments deemed “superfluous.”

“Focusing on reducing the size, scope, and superfluous elements of the federal government. It has nothing to do with what President Trump may or may not do.”

And yet the work, if not superfluous, seems secondary right now to the quest for meaning.

All that production, however, proved to be superfluous.
