#Trump #ElonMusk #VivekRamaswamy
America has officially become the world’s laughingstock
Remember when Trump hated Elon then loves him now. Remember when Trump hated little Marco and now loves him. Remember when Trump loved Pemce and now hates him. This is bizarro world
Glad the comments not falling for the media manipulation anymore!
MSNBC trying to make people who want to go to DC to do ACTUAL WORK a negative thing. We believe the opposite of everything the dying outdated manipulative and deceptive MSM says.
Musk please defund epa and their stupid rules
Those are two smart guys

Who’s really running the show? The smart entrepreneur or the dementia patient 78-year-old? #PresidentMusk
Big Gov. Spenders brought this upon themselves.
Vivek Ramaswarmy is absolutely brilliant 👌
quit the flattering, we are christians, we dont worship men
The enabling of 1933 If congress not passing laws In a timely manner Which benefit? The country congressional
Powers may be suspended And decision making Would fall.
On The president
The pain in the anchor’s eyes.
No we don’t want this Trump. We don’t have a Supe problem.
#TheBoys
Vivek is a disgrace what a two faced liar on everything .you cant believe anything this guy says he a Trump boot licker thats all he is good for .
Winning!
Why would ywo rich guys want involved in this. Two rich guys getting rid of agencies who stand in thier way in expanding thier wealth. Lets see thier tax returns. Maybe if they paid thier fair share in taxes it would help . Also, you want to improve the economy get rid of online shopping
What? What about the conservative DEI agenda? 😂
So yall think this billionaire is going to make the necessary cuts to the people that are overpaid? Yall are really delusional
Ppl still talking about Rockefeller, Soros etc.. meanwhile the richtest man on earth will officially get access to influence the world politics
EXACTLY!!!
Every accusation is an admission.
Democrats be like: Save Government Waste!
Nothing says “we hate government waste” by naming TWO people to head a brand new government department LOL
❤🇺🇸❤
DOGE : dems :: sun : vampires
And yet the last two dem presidents contributed less to the national debt than the last two Republican presidents.
Did someone ask how to control and reduce the National debt?
one for you, two for me. one for you, two for me. repeat
Elon = small, minded person with big goals, usually never achieved.
To all you haters out there, you’re welcome to legally challenge anything they post on the DOGE website. I’m sure the democrats in the government will. And if after the first years I’m not impressed, I be one your side. But I’m not holding my breath.
So the first four years of trump left you impressed?
Do you honestly think the trump admin will be out to benefit America or themselves. Just look at what musk did at tesla, laid off 15,000 employees and at the same time gave himself a $56 BILLION pay package.
No more Ticktock and onlyfriends any more! Stop the de-vil
Milei saved usa
Doge coin is a good coin to buy Back by Elon musk!😅
Kintsugi bitcoin
The price of Kintsugi BTC (KBTC) is $100,881 today with a 24-hour trading volume of $2,641.79. This represents a – price increase in the last 24 hours and a – price increase in the past 7 days.
I would recommend to buy now because it’s low and convert or sell when it’s high, it’s hit more than $2 before!
Great movie title. Two Monkeys go to Washington.
First, can you reduce the leadership persona in DOGE by cutting off Ramaswany to save some budget?
Prepare for massive stock market crash!
Biz şu hindilere kurtulamayacağız bi türlü
Something like this is long over due! Waste is out of control.
Great respect for Trump he surrounds himself with intelligent people and leads the piercing definitely learned from some of his mistakes in his last Administration
Elon Musk has 12 children with 3 wives. His father had 2 children with his stepdaughter. Nice family !
America on brink of a depressions d bankruptcy. ‼️hope these guys save us ! Demos nothing but destroying our economy and safety around world and border ‼️ demos need get out of the way or help save America. Maybe too late to prevent WW3. 😡😎
Dept of Govt Efficiency is not even a real position. Bye Elon!
People across the seas should know there are thousands of US citizens who oppose the convicted criminal Trump as our President. At this moment I am ashamed that this thug was elected. I pray for divine intervention that he never steps foot to take power in the white house.
He had to put some more clowns in his circus
Billionaires like Elon Musk and Warren Buffett often present an image of minimalist living, as if to say, “Look, I live in a simple, tiny house, just like anyone else could.” But beneath this facade lies a form of deception, designed to foster a sense of relatability and humility. In reality, they have near-unlimited access to resources, influence, and luxuries far beyond what most people can even imagine.
For individuals with such vast wealth, the choice to adopt a minimalist lifestyle is not born of necessity but rather convenience and public image. They don’t require material possessions in the traditional sense because they have the means to access anything, anywhere, at any time. This carefully crafted persona not only obscures the reality of their privileged existence but also subtly promotes a narrative: that everyone should aspire to less, despite their own complete freedom from such limitations.
The irony lies in the juxtaposition—their message of “less is more” for the masses, while they enjoy the world at their fingertips. Their minimalist image, then, becomes less about shared values and more about influencing the perception of the public, suggesting a life of “enough” as they quietly inhabit a reality of boundless potential.
Vivek and Elon are tasked with breaking the old governance systems and designing a new government and writing up governance policies. President Trump will drive the government with team and implement those policies. They are tasked with building a new America. They are America’s Engineers and Scientists with a free hand operate without the impediments of politics. It will be a new EV (Elon Vivek) driven American government. This will put Vivek and Elon on top of almost everything in the government.
Trump is making a laughing stock out of Elon Musk in front of the entire country. I wonder how much humiliation Musk can take before he cracks. How long until Trump makes Musk crawl? This is certainly entertaining.
Musk will work with the guy but wont let him move next door
Agree with everyone with government spending and require an adjustment for the better.
But this is going to hurt all government employees, government contractors, and towards the civilian business, whether you are left or right.
Most government employees are veterans with government clearances, and yes, Trump supporters.
The big shots in Congress will not be affected.
Will see how the defense and tech industry CEOs react to the budget cuts, 99 percent of them are Republicans and have Congress connections. 😮
This Is The Part Where We Get To The AI 🍿🤖
Now he wants to higher the top 1% of the highest IQ people to work 80 hours for free, to help America!!! 🤣
Defund Social security and aid to Israel and we’d have all the wall money we need to secure this country from the mexican cartel members and Venezuelan gangs pouring over the border everyday.
We waiting for the first n…. 😌
Legacy Media is dead
He tasked them to lead a non-existant Department😅
It is very doubtful that there are going to be huge cuts in the short term. Putting a million people on unemployment will cause all kinds of problems socially, economically and politically. Government can and should shrink but it should be done in a thoughtful way and it will take time, just like it took time to get to this position.
Figure out which Federal jobs that can telework and make them full time remote. Close, consolidate and sell off or rent the millions of feet of office space that we don’t really need. Perform a comprehensive economic analysis to determine if it is cheaper to just have some people work from home.
Elon: what would you saaay…ya do here? You’re fired.
You guys will love this comedy song on USA elections 2024 Trump’s victory lap😂😂 https://youtu.be/vq1-gvkAp60?si=jQgbL9MGNAuByU-I
there is something verry off on all of this
Vivek’s first proposal should be to fire Elon, bc they dont need 2 leaders, that is not efficient.
What a joke. This will be the most inefficient government ever, not just nationally either.
People are still waiting on him to deliver EVs they paid for in advance eight years ago.
This ketamine popping shadow dodger is completely incompetent.
Does anyone find it ironic that a department of “efficiency” needs TWO heads?
Elon musk and vivek ramas..got to be careful because you and elon musk destroy the way they steal money from gov..
Oh no oh no oh no oh no
PLEASEEE dont tell me theyre about to hit us with the
“Everyone must use DogeCoins to make purchases, dollars are obselete”
Bullhockey 🤢🤮😭😭💔💔💔💔
This clown thinks that government employees getting paid an average of $90,000 meaning some make $50,000 are going to work a minimum of 80 hours a week. He thinks he can get a 4.5 trillion dollar budget down to 2.5 trillion which is the cost of social security and medicare alone. So he is talking about gutting Medicare and Social Security. It is incredibly naive to think that employees are the biggest part of Government spending they aren’t. Social Security administration is a pittance of the total cost.
You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Well explain thank you for bringing up this video
Financial education is indeed required for more than 80% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. The value of the US🇺🇸dollar is declining due to inflation, but it is increasing in comparison to other currencies and commodities such as gold and real estate. I’m worried that rising inflation will cause my 550k in my retirement funds to lose value, But with the help of Mrs Maria I hit 220k this week from my investment of 45k, I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you have given me over the past few months.
Maria davis program is widely available online..

Interesting move! Trump bringing in Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency could bring some big changes.
Ron Swanson would be proud
NBC hasnt even said a word of the tax dollar usage…
Please, please STOP the delivery of mail by USPS on SATURDAY to homes. This would not have a negative impact on anyone and save 4-8 billion from the 85 billion budget.

Elderly trump wants to cut the Constitution with recess appointments,💥👈🤢🤮
Is it just me or does Elon Musk look like a trans man?
This whole Musk thing has to have more to do with The Space Force activities than him being altruistic.
DOGE. love it. Hahaha
Nothing to worry about, just a hugely technological super nerd and one of the best Indian forensic accountants who ever lived… what can they find?
A good start is getting rid of the department of education and the epa
Musk fired 70% of Twitter and its at all time highs in terms of usage and its running better than ever
Musk knows that in any workplace 30% of employees do 90% of the work
Expect cuts of at least 50% of the Bureaucracy

!!Elon Musk has played a major role in the campaign, especially in sectors like energy and automotive. With Trump winning, there’s uncertainty, as the market has been full of surprises. It’s wise to follow professional advice.
…
already, I can see wild swings in the market due to the trump win. I am really confused on how I can make gains on my $500,000 on these market movements without any loss to my money.
Agreed, I’m in line with having an advisor oversee my day-to-day investing because my job doesn’t permit me the time to analyze stocks myself. Thankfully, my portfolio is well-diversified and has just 5X’d in 5 years, summing up nearly $2.7M as of today.
This is huge! Your advisor must be grade A. Mind sharing more info, please? I’m in dire need of proper asset allocation.
ferris harreit holds the credit of being crucial about the mrkt and also a knowledgeable to be proud of
The market will always undergo changes and various challenges, so if you want fo reach your goals , you have to be really focused and do your due diligence. Also having a financial consultant like ferris .H.
Benito Mussolini, the fascist prime minister of Italy, came up with “make America great”
in 1927.
Fascist America .
I dumped twitter and am using Bluesky, I feel better already.
We need to vote for a better contract for our united states postal workers delivering all this mail and helping Amazon with packages every Sunday. How are we still not getting a fair raise. Vote no to new usps contract for letter carriers and help us help you. Thank you! Let’s vote for a better contract!
They are totally out of there mind. Both of those clowns have nooooo buisness deciding the path of the american people. They are clueless. Just because you see them on the news does not mean they know what they are doing.
DAWG 💀
IN TRUMP WE TRUST
Nothing But Crap Time to end warped one-sided journalism! Big changes are coming to poison puppet media! Nobody wants any more false propaganda!!
I like Elon, but the audacity of the richest man on earth to actually ask people to work 80+ hour weeks for FREE in his new department in THIS ECONOMY is so out of touch with reality that it’s almost funny.
Congratulations to everyone who voted on immigrant Elon Musk to be co-President of the USA.
Oh we ordinary, working americans will uave to suffer more hardship, because of elons egotistic role in government. Nice
Vivek Ramaswannabe and Elon Mussolini will gut programs for the poor and elderly but will protect corporate welfare and Trump’s obscene fat cat tax cuts.
CHEERING FOR DOGE! GO VIVEK RAMA-TSUNAMI !!!!!
ELON MUSK WILL SQUIRM LIKE A WORM BUT WHEN YOU SEE HIM DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD IN A HEARSE DOGE WON’T BE FUNNY
Madame Defarge weaves and sews and sows and goes nowhere to meet no one at any time. Amazon and Walmart deliver to Madame Defarge who weaves and sows and sews
It must be really difficult for a billionaire to make cuts to essential programs and fire people. I feel for them.
Cut, Cut, Cut Baby! I know lots of folks that “work” for the Feds and never go to work. Go anywhere, anytime, call in once in a while, get paid, benefits up the wazoo and no worries. They say, all I need is the connections. Kidd you not.
So creepy and gross that American voters are so intellectually lazy. You elected a sociopath Nice going. Now we are the joke of the free world!
I would love to see Vivek and Elon sit down with Kamala Harris. How very little she would bring to that table..
