The tribute video begins with footage from President Trump’s final presidential campaign blitz in 2024 with Elon Musk. On the campaign trail, President Trump said,
“I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government. As the first order of business, this commission will develop an action plan to totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months.”
After spotlighting President Trump signing an executive order “Establishing and Implementing the Department of Government Efficiency,” the montage showcases President Trump speaking at his Joint Address to Congress in February, 2025.
“I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency – DOGE. By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, lower car payments and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and put more money in the pockets of American families,” President Trump said.
As a reminder, these cost-saving initiatives led Democrat officials to call for the demise of Elon Musk, and for the burning of Teslas.
By contrast, in a show of class, President Trump lauded the historic work of Elon Musk in helping him expediently fulfill his campaign promises, reducing government waste, fraud, and abuse, considerably.
“I’ve had a great help with Elon Musk, who’s been terrific. I am very proud of the job this group is doing, at my insistence,” President Trump said.
“We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars that’s going to places where it shouldn’t be going. I ran on this, and the people want me to find it.
“We have to take some of these things apart to find the corruption. We found tremendous corruption. Thank you Elon,” President Trump said.
Additionally, the tribute video promoted a weighty statement from Vice President Vance regarding DOGE.
“That is going to do more to unleash innovation, to unleash economic prosperity, when you don’t have this crushing bureaucracy that answers to nobody, sitting on top of the American people,” Vice President Vance said.
The tribute video incorporated a statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, lending further perspective to the DOGE agenda.
“We are going line-by-line when it comes to the federal government’s books. American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort,” Karoline Leavitt said.
