SUMMARY
Elon Musk has reaffirmed his commitment to aiding former President Donald Trump’s bid to reduce government size and inefficiency if Trump secures a second term. On Wednesday, Musk took to X (formerly Twitter), declaring, "I can't wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go." Musk’s comments followed reports of Trump’s plans to form a "government efficiency commission" aimed at auditing and streamlining federal agencies. Responding to a post about shrinking government, Musk simply replied "Yes." Known for his aggressive cost-cutting measures, Musk previously reduced Twitter’s workforce by nearly 50% after acquiring the platform in 2022. The revamped X now operates with just 20% of its former staff, showcasing Musk's efficiency-driven approach.
