Elon Musk Is Now Sole Head Of DOGE After Vivek Ramaswamy Steps Down
In a sudden turn of events, Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped down as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), paving the way for Elon Musk to take sole control. According to reports, Ramaswamy’s departure may not have been entirely voluntary.
Ramaswamy’s exit comes amid growing tensions between him and key figures in the organization, including Musk himself. A Republican strategist close to Donald Trump’s advisers revealed that Ramaswamy had “burned bridges” with important individuals, likely referencing his recent public criticism of American workplace culture.
The development has sparked concern over DOGE’s legal standing, as Ramaswamy hinted at potential future announcements in a post on X. His departure may have significant implications for the organization’s already embattled status. Critics have long argued that DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act by allowing private individuals to influence government decisions without proper transparency or oversight.
The controversy has been ongoing since Trump signed executive orders establishing DOGE, which was initially touted as a means of reducing federal spending by cutting budgets and eliminating government jobs. Since its inception, DOGE has faced numerous legal challenges and criticism from advocacy groups like Public Citizen.
Musk’s takeover comes at a tumultuous time for the organization, which is already dealing with multiple lawsuits alleging impropriety and abuse of power. With Ramaswamy’s departure, it remains to be seen whether Musk will continue his predecessor’s agenda or chart a new course for DOGE.
Ramaswamy’s next steps are unclear, but reports suggest he may be preparing to run for governor of Ohio in the upcoming election cycle.
