Ramaswamy Exits DOGE, Eyes Ohio Governorship

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, announced his departure from the role, citing a mutual decision driven by his ambition to run for Ohio governor. Ramaswamy and Musk reportedly had different approaches, with Ramaswamy focusing on constitutional and legislative strategies, while Musk emphasized a technology-first approach. Despite Ramaswamy's insistence that the separation was amicable, skepticism arose, notably from Charlamagne tha God, who suggested Ramaswamy might have been ousted or foresaw the department's potential downfall. Ramaswamy consistently denied any conflict with Musk, emphasizing that their relationship was complementary rather than conflicting. Additionally, Ramaswamy's political aspirations align with his strategic business mindset, as he plans to announce his gubernatorial candidacy soon. The departure also coincided with the broader restructuring of DOGE under Trump's administration, aiming to streamline federal operations.
