Seems like a scheme to have the elitists to well and truly take over Federal governmentTrump says he'd create a government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk
Former President Donald Trump says he would create a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal governmentabcnews.go.com
This should be interesting. Make America fiscally responsible again!
I think Elon would be a great consultant or something for the govt because he's a pretty assertive entrepeneur & knows what its like to attempt technology & appreciate failure. I think he's a realist & does not need to be paid off.
Maybe I was too tongue in check, so I'll say it more plainly. This is an solution looking for a problem. Congress already has an all-up Office, the Government Accountability Office, whose job is to perform both financial and performance audits of the US Government, led by an independent Comptroller. In addition to that, every major executive branch organization has an Office of the Inspector General responsible for internal audits and investigations and assuring federal monies issued to outside organizations are being spent properly. Those IGs coordinate their activities through the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. And when Mr. Trump talks about "massive reforms" I strongly suspect he means cutting agencies and programs, which is Congress' prerogative, not the President's.
And his most recent ventures have been terrible. He way overpaid for Twitter and has made it notably worse (which is impressive TBH). Tesla started out strong, but it's losing marketshare pretty quickly, his auto-driving features haven't gone anywhere, QC on the original models has long been spotty, and the Cybertruck is a piece of junk.
We're bankrupt already. Financially, morally, and spiritually.
Yet Musk is worth nearly a quarter trillion dollars: Elon Musk - Wikipedia.
Yeah it's pretty interesting seeing the wealthiest most successful person on earth being touted as a financial failure.
And really I think that's the issue. There are without a doubt plenty of inefficiencies in the federal government, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that is more the result of redundancies than "waste" in the traditional sense. While I deeply disagree with almost all of the things that Trump has suggested or attempted, his reorganization plan had some good ideas to try and deal with some of those. Parts of it I thought were bad, but parts of it I wish Congress had enacted.
Ya, he has a quarter trillion while his companies are failing. That is a talent we don't need in the government. We have enough politicians that have that type of talent.
It’s pretty interesting seeing folks eschewing anything resembling nuance and just equating net worth with capability. For a crowd who so loudly decries elitism, arguing that wealth == qualification is a pretty odd position to take.
