US presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would appoint Elon Musk to head a government efficiency commission if he is elected to office in November.

“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump told the Economic Club of New York.

      It is a troll. Musk is giving Lord Dampnut a shit ton of cash and support on shitter.

      In return Mar-a-Lardo said he would put Musk in charge of the Department Of Government Efficiency.

      It is a Dogecoin reference. Musk is being an edge lord.

      Not saying that Cheeto Benito wouldn’t do it, but it is mostly just fun for Elon at the expense of the people who he is spinning up over it.
