What Musk's Twitter takeover could tell us about a possible government appointment toggle caption Alain Jocard/AFP via Getty Images Former President Donald Trump has said that if reelected, he will appoint Elon Musk to head up a new efficiency commission with the mission of conducting an audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. Sponsor Message In their new book, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, Mac and fellow reporter Kate Conger take a closer look at Musk's takeover of the social media platform now known as X.
