The bet is ambitious and somewhat reminiscent of Milei’s chainsaw approach. Do you remember? Afuera. “I can’t wait for Elon and Vivek to make changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency while, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. It is important that we eliminate the enormous waste and fraud that exists in our $6.5 trillion in annual government spending. They will work together to liberate our economy and hold the United States government accountable to the people.”
Elon Musk is not the only name announced by Trump during the night. Michael Waltzformer Green Beret (army special forces), will be his National Security Advisor. The senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, should instead be appointed Secretary of State, even if there is no official confirmation yet. The Department of Homeland Security, however, will go to the iron lady Kristi Noem, calls to resolve the immigration problem where Kamala Harris has failed miserably. Ambassador to Israel, with all that that means in terms of the conflict in Gaza, will be instead Mike Huckabee. Steven Witkoff he will instead be the special envoy to the Middle East.
The turnover at the CIA is also of considerable importance. Bye bye to the old director who will have to make room for John Ratcliffe. Instead, he will return to the White House as an advisor McGinley. He should instead land at the Pentagon as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, war veteran and now Fox News anchor.
