Check out this article from MarketWatch - Why Vivek Ramaswamy is ditching Trump’s ‘DOGE’ commission led by Elon Musk

President Donald Trump’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” is down a man already.

Billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was tapped alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk to run Trump’s commission to “dismantle government bureaucracy,” is stepping down to run for governor of Ohio instead.

There had been reports over the weekend that the 39-year-old former Republican presidential candidate was planning to leave the “DOGE” commission, but he made it official hours after Trump took office on Monday.

“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the commission, said in a statement. “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”

Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants, made hundreds of millions of dollars at the intersection of hedge funds and pharmaceutical research, a career he charted and built while graduating from Harvard University and then Yale Law School.

He may be departing DOGE, but Ramaswamy was still circling Trump and Musk’s orbit on Monday, sharing photos of himself with Musk at Trump’s second inauguration.

The DOGE commission has drawn plenty of public scrutiny already, especially after Musk initially suggested they could cut “at least $2 trillion” from the current federal budget, which MarketWatch columnist Brett Arends suggested would entail cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Indeed, Musk has since walked back from that estimate, admitting in an interview streamed on his social-media platform X that even cutting half as much, or $1 trillion, would be a tall order, or an “epic result.”

Vivek is just a weak man who had to kiss racist ass to get where he’s at. Notice how he had no issues going at black people because he got little push back so he felt tough. The first time he got push back from going at whites he immediately retreated and tried to bring up DEI to get them back on his side.

He’s just another tool who got used and is no longer needed.

The fact he's even throwing aroung Governor talk. Shows that he's been cast aside by MAGA.

JD's seat is right there for appointment and they aren't giving it to Vivek, he actually thinks they are going to let him be Governor

:heh:
He is not able to appeal to any average voter.

But on another note, he probably views the senator position as beneath him, notice he only runs for top leadership positions, he has no interest in working in coalition/congressional style settings.
