Donald Trump hints at appointing Elon Musk as the ‘secretary of cost-cutting’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has hinted at potentially appointing Elon Musk as the “secretary of cost-cutting” if he wins the election in November.

Sky News host Caleb Bond reacted to this, saying he reckons Mr Musk can do the job.

“Hopefully, when and if he takes up this position, he takes a leaf out of the book of Javier Milei ... the Argentinian President,” he said.

Elon is the first person that pops in my mind when I think about competence and pure efficiency. There are many examples, but the Twitter cutting was legendary.

The new Trump administration has the potential for being the most amazing group of leaders the US has ever seen. Don't let the haters win.

When she was asked what would you have done differently in the past 4 years? She said NOTHING!
So you're expecting different results from the same policies? Eat another tofu sandwich and listen to yourself.
