Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk told former President Donald Trump during their “chat” on X on Monday night that the U.S. should establish a commission to address the federal government’s spending crisis, and he would serve on it.

“A lot of people just don’t understand where inflation comes from. Inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it’s written by the government,” Musk said.

Trump agreed.

“And we need to live within our means,” Musk then stated. “We’re currently adding, I think, a trillion dollars to the deficit, roughly every hundred days. The interest payments on the national debt now exceed the defense budget. It’s on the order of a trillion dollars. It keeps growing.”

Trump responded that such a commission to root out government waste would be good.

“The waste is incredible, and nobody negotiates prices,” Trump said.
