Trump says he'd create government efficiency commission led by Musk

“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk then. “I need an Elon Musk — I need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts. I want to close up the Department of Education, move education back to the states.”

The Trump/Elon Musk Commision on Government Efficiency:

More subsidies for exploding rockets: Efficient

Department of Education: Inefficient waste not supporting my pro-natalist dreams.

This is hilarious!

Sounds good to me

The Trump/Elon Musk Commision on Government Efficiency:

As well, if we don’t the Chinese and Russians will fill the gap, scientifically and militarily

Department of Education: Inefficient waste not supporting my pro-natalist dreams.

It Would be a waste because public schools only teach anti-American propaganda woke, gender crap, meanwhile minorities suffer the most and are falling behind, but let’s create more BLM supporters and push for more restorative justice.

This is the same guy running Twitter into the (slang term for toilet that rhymes with Twitter), right?

Only the best people, lol.

It Would be a waste because public schools only teach anti-American propaganda woke, gender crap

How would you know? Stop reading weird blogs.

Well this should be interesting, if for nothing else than the reaction alone.

In any case, Musk would have his work cut out for him. There are plenty of vested interests in and out of government who benefit immensely from the waste and despise efficiency.

Yes, only the wealthy should be able to send their children to school, as it should be. The low wealth is evidence of the parents low intellect and inferior DNA, according to pro-natalist doctrine, so it is inefficient to provide the poor with a quality education.

They will be made extraneous when Grok 4.0 goes online anyway.

What a load of crap.

He said the commission would recommend “drastic reforms" and develop a plan to eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months, which he said would save trillions of dollars.

If anyone actually believes this, please, please, please come and see me, I have some "prime" property for sale! Real cheap too!

Europe, Canada, Australasia and Japan really need to get a Plan B together. It looks like America has under a year left before it implodes. Less if we send them Liz Truss.

The Republican presidential nominee claimed that in 2022, “fraud and improper payments alone cost taxpayers an estimated hundreds of billions of dollars.” 

Yeah, right. How would he know?

Trump also promised to cut 10 government regulations for every new regulation implemented if he's elected in November.

Regulations are there to protect the American people. Trump only cares about corporations and their lobbyists.

I'm calling "Dingo" on this one.

the biggest waste and fraud was caused by trump and his chief economic advisor kudlow who never took an economics class in his life - the slipshod ppp mismanagement.

trump - the man who bankrupted every business he ever started on his own.

The US runs on fraud and improper payments. The vested interests will make sure this is a still birth which goes nowhere!

I like the idea though!

A defined tax payer funded government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government, has been a requirement for decades.

No burning burn revelation.

Barak Obama took a stab at reviewing ineffective bureaucratic overburden with mixed results.

Making All Levels of Government More Efficient and Effective Through Retrospective Review

A Look at Efficiency in Public Administration: Past and future

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2158244014564936

I suggest a commission of this nature need an unquestionable level of transparency, professionalism, leadership that displays a proven track record of sound understanding ground up knowledge of governance, quote unique perspective to efficiency in public administration.

To simply appoint Elon Musk to lead/head such a front-line project does not inspire public confidence.  

A fully transparent open hiring recruitment process, identifying, attracting, screening, shortlisting all potential candidates.   

What latitude remit, legislative guidelines to indemnify "government efficiency/efficiency" entail?

The idiot born on third base but was so stupid he got thrown out trying to steal 2nd says he’s going to hire the one born half an inch from home plate to run an efficiency board when he can’t even run a private company.

Yeah, that sounds like something someone incompetent enough to bankrupt a casino would do.

This sounds like it's going to work out just swell, NOT!!!

Musk is well known for throwing money at pet projects, all of a sudden he's in charge of accountability??? LOL...IMHO, Trump is loosing his 'with the people' gloss.

I think Kamala has spooked him, and dhe hasn't even got the flame thrower out yet...

...not that I think Kamala is presidential mind...far too much air between the ears...

the biggest waste and fraud was caused by trump and his chief economic advisor kudlow who never took an economics class in his life - the slipshod ppp mismanagement.

Apparently, his resume says differently.

trump - the man who bankrupted every business he ever started on his own.

And who uplifted small businesses and handed Biden a GDP growth of 1.7% and Biden ended up raising it up to 9% under Kamala. If I were the left, I would find a hole real fast.

We haven't returned Trump to the White House yet. Even then, no one else is in a position to lead the free world so the hope will have to be on the US Constitution providing restraint.

Improper payments? How about starting off on that ILLEGAL $10 million payoff that was delivered in "duffel bags" to the Trump campaign from Egypt in 2016?

Trump and Musk - MAGA's version of Dumb and Dumber...

A man who uses to deny African Americans from a renting his apartment is going to employ a man whose wealth originated from exploiting south African slave labour in his father's mines.

I'm sure this will be absolutely fine to define the future of the American government.

He announced the plans in a speech to the Economic Club of New York, a group of executives and industry leaders, where he also unveiled proposals to slash regulations and boost energy production, embrace cryptocurrencies and drastically cut government spending as well as corporate taxes for companies that produce in the U.S.

Along with this corporacratic agenda led by Musk, you can bet they will not go after the 'efficiency' of the Number 1 money pit, the Pentagon.

A man who uses to deny African Americans from a renting his apartment is going to employ a man whose wealth originated from exploiting south African slave labour in his father's mines.

Both of whom never bothered you until you found out which Party they supported.

So would that mean all the money Trump charged the secret service to stay at Trump hotels would have to be refunded?

Trump and Musk, two of the world’s most powerful men, have shifted from being bitter rivals to unlikely allies over the span of one election season

Hmm, one of the few articles where the usual anti–orange man crowd will have difficulty justifying their baseless claims that the world will end if Trump is elected in November.

This is good news—one of the smartest and most successful people in the world has teamed up with a focused and determined leader like Trump. Who wouldn't vote for them(?).

—

( then, of course, we have Bobby Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek and others who will join the team—these are extremely intelligent and competent people who just want to stop the country and the Western world from falling off a cliff )

Hmm, one of the few articles where the usual anti–orange man crowd will have difficulty justifying their baseless claims that the world will end if Trump is elected in November.

Thanks God Musk Can't be a president.

rcch

The axis of "weird".

Trump claims Musk is not very busy.

The scammer Trump is zeroing in on Musk's cash.

Musk denied he would give Trump $30 million a month.

Musk will quickly discover that Trump isn't a good value for money and plays too much golf.

Elon Musk - who just this week promoted this "theory" on X....

"Elon Musk has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.

On Sunday, Musk re-posted a screenshot of the theory – which appears to have been conceived on 4chan in 2021– on the social media site. The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testosterone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-suggests-support-replacing-214454335.html

That pretty much shreds every article in the Constitution...and sets up some type of patriarchal dictatorship run by steroid-boosted far-right nuts...

Sure sounds a lot like the white Arian super-race that was tried before...

JD Vance sure had that one nailed when he compared Trump to Hitler...

Musk will quickly discover that Trump isn't a good value for money and plays too much golf.

If that were the case with all the billions he owns, he would have done that a long time ago.

Trump's working hours in the White House.

 Trump averaged six hours and two minutes of work each day from his first appointment to his last while in office.

The nightmare gets worse by the day. A confederacy of fascists.

Making govt more efficient - sounds like a good idea. Only radical leftists would oppose something like that. They are weird.

Who are the left you comment on? We are free to post whatever comments we like.

Verifying the truth is always important. Trump says "Musk isn't busy" Musk claims he works 120 hours per week. Trump only worked 6 hours a day in the Oval Office. Trump played too much golf.

All these points would be important to any "Government Efficiency Commission."

Who are the left you comment on?

Liberals

We are free to post whatever comments we like.

I never said anything otherwise, relax.

Well, there you go, so your argument is not with me.

Ok, and what? That's it? The left is going to waste THEIR time and everyone else's time in trying to make a big deal out of a personal comment? Well, you guys tried everything else and it failed, might as well give this one a shot...

Musk is in urgent need of a mental health intervention...

Prior to this year, he was just a somewhat daffy, idiosyncratic businessman pushing his products...

Now, he's turned into some fringe far-right nut - pushing radical anti-democratic propaganda...

He owns Tesla, which is the No. 2 maker of EVs worldwide - and who buys EVs? It ain't the far-right crazies - just ask them here what they think of them...

So he insults the majority of center and left-leaning potential customers for his product - what kind of business strategy is that? "You're a Lib idiot - now please buy a Tesla"...

He's either fallen and hit his head or it's just the time for his brain to backfire, but something is definitely mentally wrong with this guy...

Trump says he'd create government efficiency commission led by Musk

Sounds like he's saying he's going to cut a hell of a lot of jobs. Enjoy that America. Also, "cutting 10 govt regulations for each new one created," sounds like extreme Reaganism.

It's nice to be on top of the economic ladder, isn't it, where you really can't empathisize with those in the middle or lower classes.

trump - the man who bankrupted every business he ever started on his own.

the idiot even bankrupted a casino ^o^ it can not be better that that!

Trump's government was an inefficient failure. In 2020, he stated 'I Alone Can Fix' Government. He Failed.

https://www.govexec.com/management/2020/10/trump-said-i-alone-can-fix-government-he-failed/169289/

Now Trump admits he was a failure with the suggestion of a government efficiency commission.

Like one of those time and motion studies they use to make.

This is beyond funny.

https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1700101199070892092

Case in point of Xitter ignorance for the ignorant.

Back to the point, the Trump/ Musk efficiency commission is more pork barrel socialism for the rich.

https://www.nydailynews.com/2020/10/27/his-corporate-welfare-trump-has-shoveled-cash-to-massive-companies/

And American social welfare would be targeted as 'entitlements' like education and would suffer, especially at this time of increased automated job loss and precarious labor.

Great! What the United States needs is an entitled nepo baby "entreprenuer" in a cabinet-level position advising a petulant sociopathic nepo baby "president".

Trump only worked 6 hours a day in the Oval Office. Trump played too much golf.

All of 6h a day? You are so generous with the guy and the word "work".

Trump's government was an inefficient failure.

289 accomplishments and an inflation rate of 1.7%??? Guess liberals have a different image of what success is.

Now Trump admits he was a failure with the suggestion of a government efficiency commission.

Not entirely

Like one of those time and motion studies they use to make.

Huh?

One more reason (besides the 1000 that already exist) to not vote for trump this year.

Egomaniacs!

No, thanks!

289 accomplishments

According to Trump.

I have 1,327 accomplishments . . . this year alone!

Under the category Idiots hire lunatics….

Trump's government was an inefficient failure. 

289 accomplishments and an inflation rate of 1.7%??? 

Tying his shoes and wiping himself don’t count.

And pre-Covid and post covid inflation #s are not in any way analogous.

Anyone with a clue about economics knows that.

drastically cut government spending

Does this mean Trump won’t get his big military parades and National Garden of American Heroes?

Twitter was never a money making venture for Musk. He bought Twitter to guard free speech and allow the shadow-banned a place in the public space of ideas...good and bad

In Musk's case it was his mismanagement of X. He even said to advertisers to "go f yourself".

Yes, he rightly told advertisers to stick to advertising rather than gatekeeping public discourse. Do you want Disney or Pfizer to determine what you can and can't say?
