Musk’s new “commission” looks like a go
He plans to cut taxes and regulations to make life easier for his vastly wealthy friends to raze the government to the ground:
Donald Trump plans to outline a suite of economic proposals in a speech here Thursday, including introducing a government efficiency commission recommended by Elon Musk, taking an even more aggressive swipe at regulations than during his first White House term and pledging to rescind certain unspent funds appropriated during the Biden administration.
The commission would conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make “recommendations for drastic reform,” the Republican former president plans to say in an appearance before the Economic Club of New York. The goal would be to identify ways to eliminate fraud and improper payments, according to portions of the speech viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
An “audit” and “performance review” by the guy who just destroyed twitter for his personal entertainment.
Whatever. It’s a joke designed to appeal to tech bros and Wall St greedheads to give him more money. But it’s right up there with the “immigration task force” he convened in 2017 to prove that he actually won the popular vote in a landslide for embarrassing wastes of time.
Update:
yikes…
