Inside the Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy DOGE Divorce

Musk’s effort, which will give him considerable additional insight into a government he does significant business with, is expected to be completed by July 4, 2026.

One of the people said the executive order “surprised a lot of people” because it brought DOGE, which was originally envisioned as an outside entity, into the executive branch. The executive order was developed only in the past two weeks, the person said.


“Elon was for it, Vivek was against it. I don’t think it spoke to the original mission, the vision for DOGE, as articulated by Trump two months ago,” the person said.

A frequent poster on Musk’s X platform, Ramaswamy also angered some Trump supporters and aides in late December when he let loose with a long message as part of a debate over H-1B visas, suggesting some U.S. technology companies hire foreign workers in part because U.S. culture has “venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.”


Takeaways:
  • Vivek pissed off people in the cabinet by basically leaking the secret about the H1-B thing.
  • Vivek wanted to streamline regulation and government reach, whereas Musk is looking to expand federal power (for himself of course).

The Governor thing appears to be a last ditch effort.
