Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump, is expected to step down to launch a campaign for Ohio governor.
Sources report friction between Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and incoming DOGE staff, with Musk’s team criticizing his lack of participation and subtly encouraging his exit.
“Vivek has worn out his welcome,” one Trump associate said.
DOGE, a task force to streamline federal bureaucracy, is not a formal agency.
Efficient as hell: first day of the regime and we’ve made it so s department doesn’t have two guys running it
Has the token brown MAGA finally realized his new buddies are using him to prove they’re not racists, and now that Trump won, he’s not needed anymore?
Trump official dropping before he even takes office. Speed running this time around.
Unofficial, and non-office.
Negative Scaramuccis.
Sorry I’m not familiar with US units, how much is that in heads of lettuce?
One Truss Lettuce is 49 days. A mooch is 11 days, just under a quarter of a truss lettuce.
The lettuce was bought, in the car on the way home, and just before arriving it was tossed out the window
He’s running for governor of Ohio. God damn that poor fucking state. I mean really I know they deserve it to some extent cuz they keep voting for these people, but they have just some of the worst most soul-crushing politicians the last 30 years I’ve ever seen
LA has worse
DEI hire couldn’t cut it I guess.
Two people can’t run the same bureau.
You’d think there would be some government agency whose purpose it is to identify redundancies like that…
Great, let’s just leave it all up to Elon. What could possibly go wrong?
The only thing worse than 2 billionaires leading an unregulated government entity is a single billionaire leading it. Giving Elon completely unchecked power.
It’s not a government entity.
I don’t think it even exists. We all know Elon doesn’t do any actual work beyond tweeting and giving the engineers his latest harebrained idea. Have they started hiring staff? Office space? Anything to prove they exist at all?
Came to say the same thing, it’s not even a real department, trump isn’t president yet. You can’t leave a job that never existed.
It’s not like Vivek was going to even check Elon. It’s funny how he left it before he even started though.
Cheer up, Brian! Now they can’t blame anything on each other.
The one thing we have going for us is that this current iteration of fascists are way stupider than the last batch
