Trump Backs Elon Musk’s Plan for Government Efficiency Commission

Donald Trump has officially endorsed a proposal from Elon Musk to establish a Government Efficiency Commission aimed at overhauling federal operations. The commission’s primary goal would be to conduct thorough audits of government agencies to identify and eliminate wasteful spending. Musk, the visionary behind SpaceX and Tesla, proposed the initiative to ensure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently, with a focus on reducing fraud and addressing improper payments, which cost the federal government billions annually.

In addition to combating financial inefficiencies, the commission would also look into modernizing government IT and cybersecurity, which are long overdue for upgrades. Trump has welcomed Musk’s involvement in the project, and the billionaire entrepreneur is open to playing a key role if asked. The former president is expected to unveil this proposal alongside other economic policies aimed at streamlining regulations and cutting back unspent federal funds.

This move reflects Trump’s broader goal to reform how the government functions, reduce bureaucratic red tape, and save taxpayer money.
