According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump plans to outline a series of economic proposals in a speech on Thursday, including the introduction of a government efficiency commission suggested by Musk, a more aggressive attack on regulation than in his first term, and a promise to eliminate certain unspent funds appropriated by the Biden administration. Trump and Musk have grown closer as Musk's political views have become more conservative. In a recent conversation, Musk suggested that Trump create a commission to address government spending as a way to address inflation. The purpose of the speech was to get Trump to focus more on economic issues - which voters often make a top election issue. He will also debate Harris in Philadelphia a few days later.
