Former president Donald Trump said he would create a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government, an idea suggested by billionaire Elon Musk – who would lead it.

The commission is the latest attention-grabbing alliance between Mr Trump and Mr Musk, who leads companies including Tesla and SpaceX and has become an increasingly vocal supporter of Mr Trump’s bid to return to the White House.
