Elon Musk may take on key role in Trump administration as cost-cutting advisor
Elon Musk has pledged at least $119 million to Donald Trump's campaign and openly supported him on social media. Following Trump's recent election victory, Musk may take on a significant role in the new administration. Trump plans to create a "Secretary of Cost-Cutting" position for Musk, leading a government efficiency commission. This commission will audit federal finances and recommend reforms to eliminate waste and fraud, potentially saving trillions. Musk's involvement may face challenges due to his business interests and ongoing legal disputes with the government. Congressional approval is also needed for the position, but a part-time advisory role could be more feasible.
