Golden Finance reported that on Monday evening local time, former US President Trump had a live conversation with Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the X platform. Musk proposed that he was willing to play a role in helping to cut federal spending during Trump's second term, which seemed to indicate that the world's richest man was increasingly integrating himself into American politics. Musk called for the establishment of a government committee to ensure that taxpayers' money was used effectively, and said he was willing to play a role in the process. Musk said, "I'm happy to help on such a committee, and I'm happy if it's established." Trump praised Musk's idea.
