ICYMI **Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced plans to establish a government efficiency commission, with Elon Musk leading the initiative, should Trump win the Nov. 5 election.**
This proposal was unveiled during a speech at the New York Economic Club, where Trump laid out his broader economic vision.
Key points included slashing corporate tax rates for domestic manufacturers, creating “low-tax” zones for home construction on federal lands, and establishing a sovereign wealth fund to finance major infrastructure projects.
Musk confirmed interest in leading the commission, which would focus on reducing fraud and waste within the federal government.
Trump’s plans to cut corporate taxes and expand housing developments on federal lands have sparked debate, drawing both support and criticism.
Union leaders, like Everett Kelley of the American Federation of Government Employees, expressed concerns about the impact on federal workers.
Additionally, environmentalists may push back on the proposed development of rural federal lands.
As the race heats up, Trump’s proposals highlight a stark contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris, particularly on housing affordability and tax policies.
With polls showing a shrinking gap between Trump and Harris on economic issues, these policy debates are expected to play a central role in the upcoming election.
