By now, you know that Donald Trump wants to put Elon Musk in charge of a task force that will look for ways to cut wasteful government spending.

That story took a huge turn today. Elon Musk expressed interest in working with former congressman and presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul.

Paul, a libertarian style Republican, is widely known for being a vocal advocate for smaller government. This would be a game changer.

The Post Millennial reports:

Ron Paul would join Elon Musk to cut government waste in potential 2nd Trump term

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.
