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.

      I mean, depending on what your goals are, that could very well be described as efficient.

      Like, if your goal is to destroy the American government, could anyone do it more efficiently than Elmo?

      More like: the guy who helps Putin in Ukraine with starlink policies and hardware and by assisting Trump since Putin for sure has nasty child rapey kompromat on him.

      Elon is a piece of shit, but I suspect he’s doing what he’s told.
