Trump unveils strategy for Musk
Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has proposed the establishment of a "government efficiency" commission led by Elon Musk if he wins the upcoming November election. During his presentation at the New York Economic Club on Thursday, Trump detailed his proposal.

Described by the ex-president as an autonomous entity, this commission would focus on making the federal government more streamlined. "I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms we need to do. It can’t go on the way we are now,” Trump declared.

Although Trump did not provide detailed mechanics of the commission's operation, he mentioned that one of the initial tasks would be to formulate a plan to "eliminate fraud and improper payments" within the government, a problem he claims costs taxpayers hundreds of billions annually.

In a lighter moment, Trump remarked that Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has agreed to lead the commission "because he’s not very busy."

The Republican nominee expressed that Musk's involvement would make the commission "interesting" and complimented Musk as a “smart guy” for his “complete and total endorsement.”

The concept of an audit commission has been in discussion for some time, yet it was only on Thursday that Trump officially advocated for the initiative. Responding to a Washington Post article about Trump's clean-up strategy and Musk's probable appointment, Musk expressed his enthusiasm on X: "There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go."

Moreover, Trump's vision extends beyond the audit panel and Musk’s role, including his commitment to eliminate "a minimum of 10 old regulations for every new one" and to support emerging sectors like cryptocurrencies. He also aims to combat inflation, reduce taxes, enhance domestic energy production, improve housing policies, and establish a sovereign wealth fund for investing in "great national endeavors."
