Donald Trump said he will make Elon Musk the country’s ‘cost cutter’ if elected during a Michigan rally on Friday.
“I’m gonna get Elon, and he’s great at this, he’s gonna be our cost cutter,” Trump said of the SpaceX and Tesla CEO.
Trump also attacked Kamala Harris on immigration during the rally.
The vice president visited the US-Mexico border today in Arizona, where she spoke with Border Patrol officers ahead of an expected announcement on restricting asylum.
This visit comes as Harris takes a three-point lead on Trump in the swing state of Georgia, according to a Fox News poll.
During a second Michigan event on Friday, a town hall outside of Detroit, Trump promised his economic plans would help save ailing auto plants.
If that wasn’t enough news, federal charges were unsealed today against Iranian hackers who allegedly targeted the Trump campaign this summer.
ICYMI: Retired military general described as ‘the finest warrior’ backs Harris for president
Stanley McChrystal, a retired Army general once dubbed “the finest warrior” in the U.S. military, has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
McChrystal, who oversaw the Afghanistan war during the Obama administration, wrote in a New York Times op-ed on Thursday that the decision was “starkly simple.”
“Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief,” the retired general wrote. “When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, representing the United States on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own.”

“I’m gonna get Elon, and he’s great at this, he’s gonna be our cost cutter…I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does but, but he’s so much into that, he said the waste of this country is crazy, and we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost cutter,” Trump said.
“He’s going to do it for zero, but he wants to see this country be great, and he’ll do it,” he added.
