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.

    Musk is CEO of 3 companies and has the time for a Government job?

    Being CEO is a part time job.

      Isn’t it at least 5?

      SpaceX

      Tesla

      Twitter

      Neuralink

      Boring Company

      Now tell me that being a CEO is such a hard and stressful job that one man could be in charge of five companies.

        You know what would happen if I did my job for five different companies?

        I’d get fired.
