its pretty obvious that trump recognized vivel as the cringe tryhard that he is, and trump didnt want to give him a cabinet position, imagine having to listen to that tongue-twisting fuck every day. so trump said "ah what the hell, ill let you tag along with elon" just to get rid of him. it was clear elon was running doge and vivek wasn't truly involved in any meaningful way. no doubt hes gonna do some book deal now and find another grift
