Trump announces plan for Elon Musk-led ‘government efficiency commission’

Tech billionaire has been pushing ex-president to take on policy idea, which would walk back government regulations

Donald Trump announced in a speech on Thursday that, if elected, he would form a government efficiency commission, a policy idea that Elon Musk has been pushing him to take on. The former president claimed the tech billionaire had agreed to lead the commission.

Trump made the attention-grabbing announcement during a campaign event at the Economic Club of New York, but gave no specific details about how the commission would operate.
