Elon Musk soon to be at the bedside of the American administration? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced this Thursday, September 5, that if he were elected he would charge the boss of Tesla, to whom he is close, with an “audit” of the government with a view to in-depth “reforms”.
“On the advice of Elon Musk […] “I will establish a government commission to conduct a comprehensive financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, with a view to making recommendations for drastic reforms,” the former president told a club of economists and business people in New York.
This is not the first time that the 78-year-old Republican tribune and businessman has indicated that he would like to see Elon Musk at his side in a possible new administration, if he is re-elected on November 5. But Donald Trump has never been so specific about the tasks he wants to entrust to the boss of Tesla, SpaceX and the social network X. “We have to do it, we can’t continue like this. And Elon (Musk) has agreed to lead this” commission, hammered Donald Trump, who spent more than an hour hammering the program of his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris and the “economic catastrophe” caused according to him by the government of President Joe Biden.
“A nation in serious decline”
“We are in an economic crisis, a nation in serious decline,” said the former American leader, who has been painting the world’s leading power in a negative light for a decade.
Republican candidate Donald Trump has also pledged to make the United States “the bitcoin and cryptocurrency capital of the world” if elected in November. “Instead of attacking the industries of the future, we will support them, including making the United States the bitcoin and cryptocurrency capital of the world,” the former president said during a speech on his economic platform in New York.
