Trump rewards Elon Musk with leading role in government efficiency department

We talking about Elon Musk here? You know, the one who cleaned the Twitter swamp (I think he cut the payroll by 40%. Or was it 60%?). Right place right time looks like 15 hour days on his research floor. I think he's learned a thing or 2.

Not learned anything? But still somehow became one of the richest people in the world.

Definitely a good choice -- he has obviousy become an adept executive and is no doubt a stickler for productivity. With his work ethic, reputation for ruthessness and reach he will have the right impact on bureaucracy... Could have used him here methinks.

you sound slightly bitter, Musk did not become the richest person in the world by just "right time right place". Im glad finally someone is trying to sort out a government by treating it properly and removing all the garbage along the way.

So you feel he became the richest man in the world because he was in the right place at the right time? Sounds like a bit of the old green envy rising? Musk is both brilliant, willing to take risks and competent. Whilst I’m not a Trump supporter, gov restructure and less bureaucracy - great idea.

Another lefty losing it. Get over yourself. There is a lot of action already and good choices being made. The election was only a few days ago. The sooner they impeach Biden the better.

In business, if you haven't made mistakes, even gotten fired, lost a lot of money, you haven't learned anything.

Haha yes it is ah hilarious irony of note. One of them will have to fire the other.

Whatever one's persuasions, left, middle, or right, the world is in for one hell of a ride as two of the most monumental men in history, joined at the hip, set about their business of reshaping the United States of America, and, perhaps, the world. Fingers crossed.

Musk is quite the multi tasker...think you can add the Ministry of silly walks to his portfolio

Come to think of it the idea must home come from the UK with the Tories bringing in their highly successful Minister of State for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency.

I hope he does stop saying he is from South Africa. It makes me proud that a fellow South African can reach this high. Proud of you, Ellon.

What's embarrassing about it???

I don't think he does. Hes too embarrassed.

Good people? You know Trump is into molesting women? And Musk doesn't want to pay child support?

A cadre is so that you can benefit yourself. As far as the USA voters are concerned, Trump is a patriot who wants to do what is best for America. So, you are right in that it is cadre deployment, but in this instance it is a cadre of patriots.

And make sure that your bubble is not fed by Fox et al...

Trumps already chooses people based on one factor and one factor only, loyalty. You know who else did that while making an independent branch that holds power to keep the gov in line? I'll give you a hint, his initials are A.H. Everything about his campaign was a massive red flag.
