Elon Musk: Secretary of Cost Cutting
Jazz Shaw
Most presidential candidates wait until they have at least won the election before they begin measuring the Oval Office for new drapes or at least begin picking new cabinet members, but Donald Trump is clearly not "most candidates." He proved that to be true yet again during a recent interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo when she asked the former president how he planned to "trim the fat" in Washington. Rather than identifying areas where he might make cuts, Trump suggested that he planned to expand his cabinet by adding a new Secretary of Cost-Cutting. That person would be SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. According to Trump, Musk is "dying to do this." This proposal opens up an entirely new set of questions as to how this new department would operate and how Musk would fit in with a presidential administration. (Rolling Stone)
Elon Musk, the unhinged billionaire who many believe ruined Twitter, has a place in a potential future Trump Administration: secretary of cost-cutting.
When Fox News host Maria Bartiromo asked former president Donald Trump about how he would trim “fat in government,” Trump said that he would defer to Musk.
“What agencies would you want to shut down?” Bartiromo inquired.
“Let me have you ask another person that,” Trump said. “Because I’m going to have Elon Musk — he is dying to do this. You know, he’s a great business guy, actually. You think of him for science and rockets. And every time I think he’s telling me about a new screw that was developed, he’s developed a new screw — screws are difficult — and it’s made out of titanium, and it’s so exciting. But you know what? He’s a great business guy, and he’s a great cost-cutter. You’ve seen that. And he said ‘I could cut costs without affecting anybody.’”
