Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that if he wins, he will create a separate department for Elon Musk. He has said that after winning, he will create a ‘Government Efficiency Commission’ whose chief will be Elon Musk. Before the election, he was giving a speech in a rally on the economy. He said at the New York Economic Club that after becoming president, he will make a big cut in the corporate tax of domestic manufacturing companies. Apart from this, he will also reduce the tax on the purchase of government land to set up new companies.
Trump said that he will start a wealth fund for companies. According to a Reuters report, Donald Trump has been in talks with his aides for several weeks about the Efficiency Commission. However, this is the first time he has publicly revealed his plan. He also said that Elon Musk has agreed to head this commission. However, Donald Trump did not explain how this commission would work. He did claim that within 6 months, fraud and wrongful money transactions would be curbed.
Donald Trump said that his former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and other colleagues will also be included in this commission. He said, the Efficiency Commission will have the right to do complete financial and performance audit in government departments. Let us tell you that on August 19, Musk had said during an interview with Donald Trump that if he gets a chance to serve in the government, he will definitely do it. He had said, if I get a chance, I am ready to serve America. After this, the Tesla chief wrote on social media, no salary, no position or any identity is needed.
There have been discussions about the Efficiency Commission in America before. Republican President Ronald Reagan had formed such an institution in 1981. It was named Grace Commission. Trump is also being criticized after this announcement. The American Federation of Government Employees Union has said that this is a conspiracy to set up its own people. There is nothing efficient in this.
