If you listened, though, there was some news here. Musk -- who did a
glitchy, podcast-style interview with Trump where he bragged about
firing employees -- has apparently agreed to head a commission that
would root out what Trump calls government fraud and abuse. Government
waste, particularly in the form of fraudulent spending, is in fact a
major problem in the budget, with the Government Accountability Office
estimating that it reaches more than $500 billion a year. (Trump's
plan is similar to the GAO's Biden-era approach for rooting it out.)
The Musk-led commission, if it ever happens, would supposedly save
"trillions" of dollars over an unspecified period

have grandiose ideas.

He's not Alpha, he's a Douchenozzle.

I look forward to the committee on wastefulness being headed by a dude
who bought a website valued at billions and promptly (within a year)
caused it to be worth a quarter of its previous value.  Loser.
