Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to create a Government Efficiency Commission if he is re-elected. The commission, inspired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, aims to conduct a complete financial and performance audit of the federal government. Trump has confirmed that Musk has agreed to lead this commission, which will focus on identifying wasteful programs and regulations to cut. The initiative is part of a broader economic plan that includes cutting the corporate tax rate to 15% and slashing regulations. Trump claims the commission could save trillions of dollars over the next decade. The announcement was made during a speech at the Economic Club of New York.
