Elon Musk Eyes Radical Overhaul of US Gov’t as ‘Secretary of Cost-Cutting’
Erin Hale reports for Al Jazeera that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stands to gain a cabinet position if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.
John Pelissero, director of government ethics, questioned Musk’s standing to hold a government position given his lack of experience in the public sector.
“Without any working experience in government, one might wonder how he could be qualified to occupy a position, for example, that focuses on government efficiency,” Pelissero told Al Jazeera.
“It is worth noting that past government efficiency or reform commissions have often been led by an individual who has earned public trust and has deep experience in government.”
