Trump Backs Idea Of Musk Joining ‘Government Efficiency Commission’ If He Wins Second Term
SUMMARY
During a live chat on Elon Musk's X platform, former President Donald Trump indicated his willingness to offer Musk a role in his administration if he wins the upcoming presidential election. Musk proposed creating a "Government Efficiency Commission" to ensure efficient use of taxpayer money, an idea Trump enthusiastically endorsed. The discussion, though marred by technical glitches, primarily focused on recent events such as an assassination attempt against Trump and his views on immigration, but provided few specifics on Trump's plans for a second term. Trump praised Musk for his cost-cutting ideas, likening them to budget cuts made by Argentinian President Javier Milei, whom Trump said is doing "terrific." Musk previously mentioned his willingness to help with such a commission during an interview with podcast host Lex Fridman.
