US presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would appoint Elon Musk to head a government efficiency commission if he is elected to office in November.

“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump told the Economic Club of New York.

      Vote for Harris *

      Any vote not to Harris be it third party or otherwise is a vote for Trump. A third party cannot win in our current First Past the Poll system

          Then organize a ballot measure for RCV or your preferred alternate system. Too late for this November but you can do something for future elections at least at the state level.

          https://fairvoteaction.org/

          e: FairVote Action, a non-partisan group working towards election reform.

          Join to help them grow and give this issue a larger voice, and don’t wait until autumn 2027 (which is often what happens and which is too late). This needs a sustained and noisy effort so those in charge are made to start listening.

          I’ve started name checking them in threads such as this one for visibility. I’d like to see this problem addressed as soon as possible, and it ain’t fixing itself.

          They’re either Trump supporters, have foreign interests, or are so fucking brainwashed they’d rather throw the whole country away than admit they don’t understand American civics

          Unfortunately as long as we have FPTP and the electoral college we aren’t a democracy
