Former President Donald Trump is set to announce the formation of a government efficiency commission during a speech at the Economic Club of New York, inspired by Tesla founder Elon Musk’s proposal. The commission, as detailed in Wall Street Journal’s preview, will conduct a comprehensive audit of the federal government’s financial and performance, with recommendations for significant reforms to reduce fraud and improper payments.
This initiative follows a conversation between Trump and Musk, where the SpaceX founder advocated for the task force and offered his assistance. Trump’s focus on regulatory cuts aligns with his previous campaign promises and ongoing efforts to reduce government oversight and red tape. The Republican push against regulations also extends to Congress, with proposals like the Sunset Act and the REINS Act aiming to limit the power of federal agencies in creating major rules without congressional approval.
