Thank you Vivek. Glad to have you on board and in-control.

[@averagejoe7229]

Yes Yes Yes Let’s Go 🎉🎉🎉

[@1957legend]

I am 67. I hope to live long enough to see Vivek as President of the USA!!

[@jenjackson5176]

I feel like I can actually breathe again 😊 I love it!!!

[@robbiexiong3508]

I couldn't be more excited with Both Elon and Vivek by Trumps side. Gut and weed out the worms is what every middle class citizen has been asking for.

[@Elsie144k]

Feeling optimistic for the first time in a long time. God’s had is on American right now 🙌🏼

[@MJ-fj9yv]

Same here…a very long time indeed.

[@jerometaperman7102]

If that is so, god must be really pissed at us.

[@easter_sunday]

Either Vivek or Elon need to explain how this department will interface with the GAO.

[@KerriGoldinger]

Can’t wait!

🇺🇸 Pride is cool again!

[@JennaScot7A]

It was always cool. It shouldn't have been a matter of public safety though. ❤

[@Wisdomking77]

Yeah the meaning of Pride had been changed by wokes but now the Real Pride will come back

[@thecitizen87935]

Vivek ramzy❤❤

[@baredesigns1]

1:05 Yeah! & Double yeah!

Ramaswamy/ Gabbard 2028 🇺🇸

[@JennaScot7A]

There's a lot of good options for 2028 it'll be hard to choose 😂

[@JennaScot7A]

How cool is that! 🎉

[@ryanvenjoyer]

It better happen this time. This is the last time I'll be hopeful for fiscal + legislative responsibility.

[@MrRourk]

So very nice

[@deejaypee7o2]

Vivek 2028 !

[@pushlooop]

When a country can produce great individuals like Vivek, it means we are not in decline

[@Twitch-33457]

He wants to defund veteran healthcare...

[@PeachWood-j8j]

​@@Twitch-33457do you know why?

[@jerometaperman7102]

@@PeachWood-j8j - Because soldiers are all suckers and losers? Just a guess that I heard somewhere.

[@ryanvenjoyer]

It means we've declined enough that someone like him is necessary to turn things around.

Watch closely, you’re witnessing history.

[@jerometaperman7102]

Future historians are going to wonder what in hell was in the water that we could elect a pile of excrement like Trump after we have already seen only a fraction of the damage and lunacy he is capable of.

[@Bobcat9]

VIVEK - KMAG'28

[@jimistarbuck5059]

I don’t know this man but I’m going to be watching him. I’m excited to see what he and Elon are going to do to shrink our over reaching and over spending government

[@brianmcfarland8377]

Ramaswamy/Musk 28’

[@cathyplantlover2862]

I would vote for them!!!😊

[@basanistes359]

Musk can't be president. He wasn't born in America

[@psychosandman]

Not possible. Elon wasn't born in the states. He was born in South Africa.

[@BSingh-on4qr]

​@@psychosandmanHe can be vice president

[@psychosandman]

@BSingh-on4qr vice president's have to be born in the US as well. The highest position is the House Speaker.

[@johntuel2375]

Anyone else getting Jim and Michael as co-managers vibes from this? Having two heads of a department is very inefficient btw. Doing it with one would be more efficient. Have you all still not yet noticed how terrible CEOs always are at doing the work that their own workers have to do? Oh man, I can't think of how many times I've had to reroute my knucklehead of a boss just to do my damn job.

[@tpoli5447]

Having two extremely intelligent innovative people who probably won’t take a Salary working together to cut government waste with a department that will only last 18 months sounds very efficient to me

[@NimbleIvy]

Vivek: "we need to get rid of the unelected bureaucrats." Vivek, also an unelected bureaucrat.

[@4light26]

Unelected wow!!

[@ephilbin]

Yeah, and when his job is done, he's getting rid of his own job too. DOGE has a drop-dead date of July 4, 2026. If they stick around longer than that, then sure enough, you'll be right. In the meantime, you lost the election, and this is what that looks like.

[@Wemade303HJ]

Appointed cabinet politicians are not bureaucrats. To Sir Humphrey Appleby, your statement is an insult to the entire public servant community.

[@汤圆-y7f]

For millions of the government employees who voted for Trump, good luck to your jobs 🤣🤣🤣

[@jbbj9720]

you know full well no lefty bureaucrat voted trump. they actively work against him and all conservatives

[@LuElex310]

And thank you for your service 👋

[@Russellviews]

They will be given 1 year salaries and we will STILL save billions.

[@leonblack2651]

They can learn to code

[@sydk35]

They can look for real jobs if they have skills
