Could Ron Paul Have Role In Future Trump Administration?

Elon Musk said he would love to have former Congressman Ron Paul involved in a potential Department of Government Efficiency in a future Trump administration.

“Would be great to have Ron Paul as part of the Department of Government Efficiency!” Musk said.

“I’d be happy to talk with you about it, Elon,” Ron Paul said.

From The Post Millennial:

Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) who ran twice for the Republican presidential nomination and once as a Libertarian said Thursday that he applauds Elon Musk’s likely involvement in a potential administration of President Donald Trump as a government efficiency commissioner and would freely offer his advice. Paul said in an interview with podcaster David Gornoski that he would welcome any opportunity to advise Musk on economic policy.

When asked if he would consider advising Musk on wasteful spending, Paul said, “Well I would … Everybody would know what I believe and there’d be no secrets, but I wouldn’t want an official position, you know, because I’ve sort of steered away from getting too involved in the politics of it all right now.” Paul said he views his role now as one of educating the public about the dangers of unhindered government growth.

“I always say young people that were in high school and college, when I was doing all the campaigning, [were] a receptive audience,” Paul said, noting that his audience was never composed of “the Chamber of Commerce people,” that he used to refer to in a negative way because they are “the ones that have been lobbying in Congress for more money for the cities.”

“You know, a position is easy to have and to hold. But the truth is, you know, what if I did get in this position and all I had to do is sign a piece of paper and the Federal Reserve was eliminated, or you cut the budget by $2 trillion well, what the consequence would be is total chaos and probably civil war and all that,” Paul said.

“All government spending is taxation,” Musk previously said.

Musk said he thinks the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) could reduce the annual federal budget by at least $2 trillion.

“Your money is being wasted and the Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that,” Musk said.

“Elon cutting $2 Trillion from budget? Great idea! Start with some of the BIGGEST welfare recipients: – Military-industrial complex – Pharmaceutical-industrial complex Oh…and End the Fed!” Paul said.

“Needs to be done,” Musk said.

“Love to have you on my Liberty Report to discuss,” Paul responded.

“The great @RonPaul joins me for a conversation on the Presidential election, whether he would help
@elonmusk cut government spending, RFK Jr’s focus on government food tampering, individuals vs the collective, and more,” David Gornoski said.

WATCH:

“At a recent Trump campaign rally, entrepreneur Elon Musk announced that the US budget should be cut by at least $2 trillion over last year’s budget. Ron Paul has some suggestions on where to start,” Paul wrote.
