Republican candidate for the November elections and far-right leader Donald Trump said on Thursday (5) that he will invite billionaire Elon Musk to lead a new “efficiency commission”, which would be “charged with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for reforms.
“I will create a commission on government efficiency that will conduct a comprehensive financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and make recommendations for drastic reforms,” the former president said at an event with business leaders in New York.
According to Reuters, Musk himself – who has already declared his support for Donald Trump – suggested to the former president that he create an audit body to monitor the government’s efficiency in certain areas. Trump said the billionaire agreed to lead the body.
Trump also announced at the event that one of the agency’s ideas would be to develop continuous actions to “totally eliminate” fraud and illegal payments within 6 months in the United States.
Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) and said he is “looking forward to serving the United States if the opportunity arises,” referring to Trump’s announcement about the efficiency commission.
