Musk Offers to Help Trump Drain the Swamp
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.
