Former President Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk will be appointed as the 'cost cutter' in his administration if he returns to office. Trump made this announcement during a rally in Michigan, emphasizing that Musk's role will be to lead government cost-cutting efforts and save trillions of dollars by reducing waste and overspending. Trump highlighted Musk's efficiency and stated that Musk would oversee the firing of many federal employees to achieve these savings. Despite Musk's busy schedule with his other ventures, Trump is confident in Musk's ability to execute this plan effectively. Notably, Musk will undertake this role without any compensation. This initiative will be part of the newly proposed Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at preventing America from going bankrupt and freeing up the nation.
