On the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump has suggested he would tap X owner Elon Musk to lead a government efficiency council — and Mr. Wonderful Kevin O’Leary loves the idea.
O’Leary shared his thoughts during a recent Fox Business appearance.
O’Leary said there has always been “fat” in the federal government, but “no one’s really taken a knife to it” yet. He then said there are “always people with great ideas, but executional skills are almost impossible to find. Every idea that Musk brings to the market he executes on, including catching a giant rocket out of space.”
O’Leary is very impressed with Musk’s leadership at SpaceX — especially in the wake of Musk’s recent successful test flight.

“Those are called executional skills,” O’Leary said. “I would pay to see the movie where they unleash Elon Musk on the federal government in looking for efficiencies. That is a great idea. I 100% endorse this. He would do a fantastic job for every single taxpayer. Release the hounds. Let’s go.”
