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.

    Translation: “I got an endorsement and a lot of money from Elon Musk, so I’m giving him a government job as a kickback where he can “regulate” his own businesses to enrich himself even further at the expense of literally every other American.”

    Oh man, I can’t see a conflict of interest at all. Nope, no siree.

      He is maintaining his record of putting the worst possible person he can find in positions of power.
