ABC News4:34

Transcription

R to stop progress in this country.

We're going to also slash something else: the waste in our bloated federal bureaucracy.

We will create the new Department of Government Efficiency, headed by a gentleman named Elon Musk, who's here someplace.

I don't know where the hell he is.

He's here someplace.

Come here.

Elon, did you see his rocket yesterday?

It was captured.

R and X is with him, X.

Come on, you can say it.

>> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

>> SORRY.

Little X just followed me on the stage here.

He's a very enthusiastic supporter, as you can see.

WOO!

Yeah.

So we're looking forward to making a lot of changes.

And you know, this victory is the start really.

What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, have those cemented, and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever.

So, yeah.

And make America great again.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

So, you know, we're going to do great things here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

>> THANK YOU, ELI.

>> YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS SAY WE HAVE TO BE PROTECTIVE OF OUR GENIUSES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY.

BUT THAT ONE IS A GOOD ONE.

Now, I watched his rocket come down about three months ago, and I thought it was crashing.

I was talking to somebody on the phone, by the way, same thing happened yesterday.

He came down, and it was captured so beautifully.

It came down, it's tumbling, it's a mess, it's going down.

I say, oh, look at that thing.

That's a disaster.

And then it gets like a couple of miles away from Earth, and all of a sudden the engines start going on, the things start, and then I see it coming in and landing in the gantry.

And I'm watching it.

I'm saying, oh, it's going to crash.

Oh, but those engines came out, and they blew the fire all over the place.

And all of a sudden those two big arms came and hugged it like you would hug your little baby.

And that sucker landed it.

Nobody's been able to do that but him.

And he's a great guy.

And we have him and Vivek and some great people working on a thing called costs.

And he's got the credibility to do it, too.

And we're going to do things that are really amazing.

But he went out to Pennsylvania after that.

He landed that rocket nobody had ever seen.

By the way, China can't do it.

Russia can't do it or come close.

It'll be ten years before they can do it.

And the US can't do it except for him.

And it's pretty amazing.

But he did that.

And then he journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania.

And he's a popular guy, and he was very effective.

And he knows those computers better than anybody.

All those computers, those vote counting computers.

And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like in a landslide.

So it was pretty good.

It was pretty good.

So thank you to Elon and his son's name, who’s cute as a button.

His son's name is X.

He's the only guy who could get away with the name X, but his son is a great guy.

One thing we know: his son is smart.

If you believe in the racehorse theory, he's got a nice, smart son.
