Trump Says Musk Will Lead New ‘Government Efficiency Commission’— (Poll)

[kyzr]

One of my recommendations has always been to have another "Grace Commission" to study the Federal government and eliminate waste. fraud and abuse. It could also make major cost cutting recommendations like sending Welfare and Medicaid back to the States. Some changes would require legislation, others could be by Executive Orders.
The Grace Commission failed, it would have save the US from DEBT, but Congress never supported their money saving recommendations.

Trump is expected to detail his plans for the commission, if elected to another term, in a speech Thursday.

Key Facts​

• The commission will be “tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make “recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said in his speech Thursday at the Economic Club of New York.
• Musk has agreed to lead the commission, Trump said—and while Musk has not commented since Trump’s speech Thursday, he has repeatedly said in the past he would be open to serving on the commission.
• The group’s first order of business, Trump said, will be formulating a plan to “totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months.”
• Musk has repeatedly raised the idea for such a commission, describing it as one that would ensure “taxpayers’ money . . . is spent in a good way,” and telling Trump he would be “happy to help out” during a live chat on X last month.
• Trump and his advisers have been discussing for months the formulation of a group led by business executives that would comb government spending for excess, the Washington Post reported earlier this week.
• In response to the Washington Post report, Musk wrote “can’t wait” and that there is “a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go” on X.

Musk may be conflicted and unable to divest. Even without Musk this commission needs to happen.

Good to see the blob nakedly admitting that if you give him enough money, you can rewrite the constitution.

Why didn’t he do it the first time?

Where in the Constitution does it mandate a bloated unaccountable federal bureaucracy like the one we have now?

Elon Musk's "efficiency programs" made several rockets blow up, and made the CyberTruck into the worst vehicle ever produced in all of American history.

The guy is a drug-addled clown. Nobody wants him in charge of anything.

Its not re-writing the Constitution, but the Federal government's bureaucracy.

Shit happens. It is his company and like you have said for years a private company can do what it wants or at least when they are censoring Americans. Deal with it.

1. Elon Musk is the world's richest person, about $260b
2. Elon Musk is a certified GENIUS. His companies are amazing. If something ***** up he fixes it. Look at Boeing and SpaceX, which one has a better space shuttle?

Elon Musk now owns Twitter. Here are the busy billionaire's 4 other companies and what they all do.

The world's richest man now runs Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX alongside two smaller start-ups, Neuralink and The Boring Company.

I think it is an excellent idea. The government once did that routinely, i.e. when a program had outlived its usefulness or was not delivering as they hoped, they killed it. There were government auditors checking up on grants and funded private initiatives to determine if the taxpayer was getting sufficient benefit and, if not, those grants and/or that funding was ended.

Now a government budget item or program has a shelf life approximating a mop handle. They just keep making the government and the budget, or what they call a budget these days, bigger and bigger. That somebody has the guts and initiative to turn that around is certainly long overdue and seriously needed.

As I said, I don't think Musk would be in-charge because he can't divest everything, but the idea is terrific.

He saved twitter from government censorship, protecting free-speech.

Government is more efficient than private business. We definetly don't need another spoiled brat running something in government.

He destroyed the platform
Lost billions in the process

Government is more efficient than private business. We definitely don't need another spoiled brat running something in government.

Linky??

He didn't protect free speech. He has enabled disinformation.

The platform is alive and well. True he lost a few $billion, so what? Elon is protecting free speech.
