**Cincinnati, Ohio** – A video of Vivek Ramaswamy’s high school graduation speech from 2003 has gone viral following President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement that the biotech entrepreneur will co-lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Elon Musk.
In the video, an 18-year-old Ramaswamy, speaking at his graduation from St. Xavier High School in Ohio, reflects on his journey at the institution and expresses his feelings at the time. He poignantly states, “How am I supposed to feel right now?”
Ramaswamy, who recently ran for President as a Republican, shared the resurfaced video on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption, “I was against bureaucracy back then too.”
The video’s resurgence comes on the heels of Trump’s announcement on Truth Social that Ramaswamy and Musk will jointly lead DOGE. In his statement, Trump declared that the duo will “pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.”
Trump expressed his confidence that Ramaswamy and Musk will bring about changes that will “make life better for all Americans.” He went on to compare DOGE to the “Manhattan Project,” suggesting its potential to be a revolutionary force in modern government.
Ramaswamy’s high school speech, now a viral sensation, provides a glimpse into his longstanding passion for fighting bureaucracy and government inefficiency. With his new role at DOGE alongside Musk, he will now have the opportunity to enact real-world changes, potentially impacting the lives of millions.
