It’s not long before a fracas erupts over President Trump’s next move in office. His appointment of Elon Musk to a new efficiency department is one example.
Although he promised to cut waste to improve value for money and fire staff to drive changes, Musk brought the ire he’s already gained as a billionaire.
In particular, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has spoken out against his involvement in any government project. She characterises him as a cold-blooded profiteer.
It’s credible only if you think Musk is a Clyde or Al Capone type of guy. His work is overseen by the government, however. He’s not a bandit in disguise.
