DAVID MUIR: Former President Donald Trump speaking to business leaders in New York, saying he'll put controversial billionaire Elon Musk in a key role in a Trump administration. Election Day now 60 days away. Here's Rachel Scott.
RACHEL SCOTT: Today, Donald Trump announcing a major role in his administration for the world's richest man, promising to put controversial billionaire Elon Musk at the head of a new government commission to crack down on fraud and waste.
DONALD TRUMP: A complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Can't go on the way we are now. And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. It will be interesting. If he has the time, he'd be a good one to do it, but he's agreed to do it.
SCOTT: No stranger to controversy, Musk has shared misinformation on his social platform X, even once sharing an anti-semitic post, for which he later apologized. The billionaire has endorsed Trump and actively promoted his campaign on X.
