Trump Announces Elon Musk’s Role In Possible Future Administration

2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced during an address to the Economic Club of New York that billionaire Elon Musk will serve as the head of a Government Efficiency Commission if he is elected for a second term come November.

Trump told his audience that Musk agreed to take charge of the prospective commission, which would handle auditing and reforming the finances and performance of the entire federal government.

The suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete endorsement, that’s nice. Smart guy. He knows what he’s doing. He knows what he’s doing! It’s very, very much appreciated,” Trump said. “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. We can’t go on the way we are now.”

“And Elon, because he’s not very busy,” Trump joked, “has agreed to head that task force. Be interesting — if he has the time! He’d be a good one to do it. But he’s agreed to do it.”
