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

[Kilroy2]

I guess they never heard of the GAO

• GAO is the supreme audit institution for the United States. Federal and state auditors look to GAO to provide standards for internal controls, financial audits, and other types of government audits.

As these two try to run the government yet do not have any understanding of the government

The want to run it as their private corporation

"I don't hate the man," Elon Musk tweeted in July 2022, "but it's time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset."

The Tesla and Space X founder's comment was prompted by a profane Donald Trump insult - put simply, calling Mr Musk a liar. Trump accused Mr Musk of lying to him about who he voted for in the last presidential election.

"Elon is not going to buy Twitter," Trump crowed to a rally crowd in Alaska

now they are best buddies planning the take over of the government

Would be a huge improvement.

right to run the government as a business

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 Says Musk Will Lead New ‘Government Efficiency Commission’—Here’s What We Know About It

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

www.forbes.com

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.

Sounds like an Albert Speer position.

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

His free speech, not yours.

That entire episode was debunked immediately.

I think he’s a pretty smart guy. You don’t start a car company, a rocket company, a boring company, a satellite company, and how many other companies..from being stupid. Even the hardest worker can’t achieve all of that simply based on labor. You have to have an intellect, and make good decisions.

I mean, he does have a 160 IQ, if you put any stock into that sort of thing. If so, his intellect shouldn’t be in question.

True, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is handicapped by his ego and what appears to be a lack of basic, human empathy.

So out of the mouth of an obviously very smart man comes pouring stupid and cruel things.
