Musk offers to take a role in the Trump administration
Elon Musk offered to take a role in Donald Trump’s administration helping to rein in government spending if the former president is reelected, Paralel.Az reports citing CNN.
“I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers’ hard-earned money, is spent in a good way,” Musk told Trump in a conversation streamed on X. “I’d be happy to help out on such a commission.”
Trump said he would “love it” if Musk were involved, noting the billionaire is a “great cutter,” referencing cost-cutting measures he has taken at his companies.
The Wall Street Journal reported in May that Musk and Trump had discussed a potential role for the billionaire in Trump’s administration if he’s reelected, although Musk pushed back on the report at the time.
