The Job Trump Wants To Give His New BFF Elon Musk

"Donald Trump unveiled a slate of new economic plans Thursday, including the creation of a government efficiency commission that he said Elon Musk has agreed to lead if the former president is elected in November.

“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement … 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,” Trump said in remarks at the Economic Club of New York. “We need to do it. Can’t go on the way we are now.”"

LOL. The movie "Idiocracy" did not prepare us for this. Everything about Trump surpasses parody.

[yurdp]

The last thing Elon needs is taxpayer money filling his pockets more.

[barbaracounts]

Didn't over 2, 000, 000 Tesla get recalled? efficiency!

[maryziggy]

Any other billionaires want a top job in government, just donate a few millions to trump

[purplebuttafly]

😮😂 Power can be dangerous in the hands of a foolish one.

[philiplombardo]

If Donald Trump gets back into office we're screwed.

That language is Heritage 2.0. Scrubbing P2025.

[jayddenburgos]

Did you forget what Elon Musk posted something disgusting about Taylor Swift.

[geraldspencer]

It's no wonder Trump is so eager to get into bed with Elon Musk. Musk is a younger version of Trump. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Musk squanders all of his daddy's money within a few years.

Thank you for bringing light to this ❤️

[mfischer]

Elon Musk working in our government? Yeah…DON’T sign me up.

Vote Harris/Walz in 2024.

With those ears and that haircut, john looks like bert from sesame street

[FruityPebbles-]

Elon Musk shouldn't be in charge of anything.

[josephsorrendino]

Or just maybe, he'll make a difference.

[BillCarson-zngx]

Dick Cheney just endorsed John's barber

[dennisconrad]

With Musk, Laura Loomer as Secretary of State, and Steven Miller as AG, we should be in good shape!

[SonofTossPowerTrap]

You're right John. We can't have freedom of speech. Someone might say something mean

[ChristinaRoDyk]

Musk does business across the globe. Putting him in the White House w/access seems like a massive national security issue with a side of a whole lot of corruption.

[samppasamFIN]

he also promises
NO TAX ON TIPS
NO TAX ON OVERTIME
LEGAL WEED

I have a bad feeling about this.
Elon Musk's appointment to lead the government efficiency commission raises concerns about potential self-serving dangers. As a ruthless businessman, Musk may prioritize his own interests and those of his companies, potentially leading to:
• Crony Capitalism: Musk's appointment could lead to crony capitalism, where government policies and contracts are awarded based on personal relationships and influence rather than merit. This could lead to unfair advantages for Musk's companies and other well-connected businesses.
• Conflicts of interest: Musk's appointment could create conflicts of interest, particularly if he is still involved with his companies while leading the commission. This could lead to decisions that benefit his personal interests rather than the public good.
• Deregulation and lack of oversight: Musk has a history of pushing boundaries and challenging regulatory frameworks. As the head of the commission, he might advocate for reduced regulations or oversight, potentially allowing companies to operate with less accountability and increased risk to the public.
