- Trump Plans New Role for Elon Musk as Cost-Cutting Secretary in 2024, with Musk expressing willingness to take on this role if Trump wins.

- Trump’s campaign emphasizes efficiency and reform in government operations.
- Musk’s recent appearances signal strong support for Trump’s candidacy.
- This partnership could attract voters interested in economic innovation.
So, recently, Donald Trump shared this pretty bold idea: if he wins the 2024 presidential election, he wants to make Elon Musk the “Secretary of Cost-Cutting.” He talked about it during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News and really hyped up Musk as a “great business guy” and a “great cost-cutter.”
Trump seems to think Musk could do a solid job of making government run smoother without messing with the essential services we all rely on. It’s all part of Trump’s bigger plan to make the government more efficient, which he believes is super important for keeping the country’s finances in check.
Trump mentioned that Musk would head up a new task force to take a close look at how the federal government spends its money and performs overall. The goal here is to pinpoint areas where they could save some serious cash. He even quoted Musk saying,
“I could cut costs without affecting anybody.”
This really shows how Musk is seen as this innovative and efficient guy, especially with all the cool stuff he’s done with Tesla and SpaceX. Trump also made it clear that while Musk wouldn’t be in his cabinet, he’d still have a special role just focused on cutting costs.
Musk has been popping up in Trump’s campaign lately, too. He even showed up at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wearing a shirt that said “Occupy Mars.” It really shows he’s on board with Trump’s vision. This rally was a big deal because it was Musk’s first major public support of Trump, where he also warned folks about what could happen to free speech and democracy if Kamala Harris were to become president.
BARTIROMO: You've said there's a lot of fat in government. So what agencies would you like to shut down?

But it’s not just about cutting costs with Musk; there’s a bigger picture here. Trump really admires Musk’s entrepreneurial drive and knack for solving problems, saying those are exactly the types of traits we need for good governance. By bringing Musk on board, Trump is hoping to tap into his expertise to shake things up in various federal agencies.
Plus, this partnership could be a smart move to rally support from voters who care about economic efficiency and innovation. As Trump goes for a second shot at the presidency, teaming up with big names like Musk could really boost his appeal to tech.
