Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy has been removed as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after criticizing U.S. work culture as “mediocre” in a controversial social media post.

The comment reportedly angered allies and led Elon Musk, his DOGE co-chair, to push him out.

Ramaswamy, accused of minimal contributions, plans to run for Ohio governor.

DOGE, an initiative aimed at slashing federal spending, faces legal challenges over transparency and its undefined role within government.

Musk remains its sole leader as lawsuits continue.

      I’m sure that’s part of it. Also, what Vivek said was quite a lot, so fuck him. I’m sure Elon will still push hard for indentured servants to take the jobs of citizens, though.

        Musk also shat on the American workforce with the HB1 shit. This is just Musk consolidating power.
