Former President Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of giving Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, a significant role in his next administration auditing federal agencies. The idea aims to reduce unnecessary regulations and improve operational efficiency. Trump described Musk as a “very smart guy” and praised his capabilities in streamlining business operations.

Give him permission to start cutting the fat, and I mean Civilian Employees at the same time. The organization where I work is all Chiefs, and they hire Contractors to give them someone to lord over, while the Contractors do all of the work, and the Civilians take all the credit...

An audit without follow through is useless. It's about as useful as republican congressional hearings on a democrat.

Great, but first eliminate all the unnecessary agencies and departments, then drop all the funding for the UN, NATO, Palestinians, NPR, PBS, and all the Democrat slush funds.

Sounds encouraging, but don't kid yourself into thinking that he - or anyone - will have the authority to make government jobs simply go away.

Just make sure you guard Musk well. He would be going up against the Military Industrial Complex that has murdered presidents and candidates when threatened. Boeing recently 'handled some whistle blowers to death. (quickly labeled suicide).
I'm not certain who would be more at risk - Trump or Musk.

Ideally, Musk will have a lot FEWER agencies to audit. Auditing and even “streamlining” will just be temporary, they will grow. Ack bigger and more resistant to future attempts to scale them face. Rip ‘em out by the roots.

Musk and Trump would make a wonderful, earth-shaking combination. The Deep State won't let it happen. They would rather rule the ashes than lose their power. It's literally life or death for these criminals.

Yes we need to layoff 59/64th of the total government employees, starting at the top. Maybe more especially at the top level.

Honor the 10th Amendment! O'care should go to the states.
Dept of Education should be reduced 90%. Then, if it has any redeeming value, Education should go back to HEW Health, Education and Welfare as it was before Jimmy bought the education votes.
HUD should go to the states. Perhaps Ben Carson is the best person to help Musk close it down.
States can form their own coalitions when 1 or more states share an issue. EPA can provide guidance and share solutions to the states without expensive regulations.
Global change idiocy will not be budgeted in the federal budget.
No more Peter Principle.
Oh, I'm just getting started.

Suggestion: Move the remaining departments out of Washington D.C. There is an evil sickness in that town called the Potomac Political Sickness (PPS) that affects even the most innocent, well meaning congressmen/women.
PPS describes a condition where politicians become enamored with the power and prestige of Washington D.C., leading them to stay in office for extended periods or indefinitely. This phenomenon is characterized by a sense of “addiction” to the political system, making it difficult for individuals to leave or reform the system.

When asked why he laid off %80 of Twitter's workforce, Musk replied, "I didn't need them to run the company."
Be afraid, useless government bureaucrat, be very afraid.
