Donald Trump Considers X Boss Elon Musk For “Government Efficiency” Role

Donald Trump’s on-off bromance with Elon Musk appears to be very much on.
The Presidential hopeful has said the Tesla and X owner could lead a “government efficiency commission” should Trump win the election in November.
Speaking at the Economic Club in New York yesterday, Trump said Musk had agreed to oversee a “complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and would make “recommendations for drastic reforms.”
Musk responded on X by writing: “I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises. No pay, no title, no recognition is needed.”
The pair have hinted at a formal role for Musk in a future Trump government over recent weeks, and now it appears to be more than speculation. They spoke about the need for a government efficiency commission in a talk on X in August and Musk has since shared memes alluding to the idea.
