I'm really curious to see how he does. I can't imagine anybody liking this abrasive know-it-all quasi-billionaire who just spent the last few months suckling on the MAGA teat. Not to mention, he's probably not white enough for a lot of voters.

Rumor had it that Vivek had trouble getting along with people at DOGE, I would not be shocked if Elon is the one who caused the relational problems there. He doesn't handle getting challenged very well.

As a Vivek fan, I think he'd be far more useful as the governor of Ohio than as a leader of DOGE anyways. I hear that DOGE is generally toothless, so it does appear to be a kiddie table of sorts.

As a Vivek fan

Well, here's one.

I'm curious: what do you like about him?

I'm a fan of him too. Very smart guy. Believes in hard work. And he worked hard for what he as. Overall, I think he's a great guy.

I’m a fan of him too

I would never have guessed 🙂

It's true. I think he has some good ideas. See, I don't judge someone just based on their party. I base it on what they do and their integrity. I'm a socialist, but I still think Vivek has some good ideas.

Thanks!
