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.

        People like that consider being on the phone working. Flying on a plane, working.

          Someone did a study on this and found that ceos typically count their working hours as anything that is related to work including commuting. Picking up dry cleaning, even lunches since you have them with clients or are allowed to eat at your desk.

          If we counted our hours the same way, then we would count things like preparing lunch and doing laundry.
