The former US president, a candidate in the race for the White House, hopes that the tech billionaire will make him “recommendations for draconian reforms”.
Donald Trump announced on Thursday, September 5, that he intends to task billionaire Elon Musk, who is close to him, with leading a reform of the American administration if he is elected to the White House.
During a speech on his economic program in New York, the Republican presidential candidate assured that Elon Musk had “accepted” the mission of “conducting this complete audit.”
Two months to the day before the American election on November 5, the septuagenarian also pledged to make the United States “the world capital of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.”
“Instead of attacking the industries of the future, we will support them,” he said.
The campaign continues
A few hundred miles away, her Democratic rival Kamala Harris arrived in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most crucial state in the presidential election.
The former Republican president visited this northeastern state hit by deindustrialization on Wednesday, which he won by a hair’s breadth in 2016, then lost by a tiny margin in 2020.
The presidential election is once again expected to be very close, and the United States is concerned about attempted Russian interference, against which it announced a series of measures on Wednesday.
A tight race
The vice president, better positioned in national voting intentions than Joe Biden, but still neck and neck with Donald Trump in the most contested states, continues to repeat that nothing is decided.
“This race will be tight until the last minute. Let’s not pay too much attention to the polls, because we are not the favorites,” she warned again on Wednesday.
US President Joe Biden, who has so far played a carefully defined supporting role in Kamala Harris’ campaign, is in Wisconsin on Thursday to promise huge investments in rural electricity grids.
