Elon Musk, appointed special adviser to Donald Trump, details for the first time Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal his “radical” project to reform the federal state, between massive dismissals of civil servants, elimination of subsidies and deregulation.

“On November 5, voters gave Donald Trump a clear mandate for radical change, and they are entitled to it,” writes the multi-billionaire in this article co-signed with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, with whom he will head a brand new “commission on government efficiency.”
