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.

I think Ohio might be too racist to elect this guy.
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?
I almost guarantee you that Vivek thinks he’s white. I have met more than one (wealthy) South Asian-American who literally consider themselves white and are just mystified when people react to them with racism because they’re white. One old family friend who’s family was from Sri Lanka was absolutely incensed that he couldn’t say he was white on his passport.
I don’t get it, but that is apparently not uncommon.
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
It’s terrible. Surrounded by idiocy.
LA has worse
Yeah, if L.A. didn’t have a lesbian firefighter in charge of fighting these fires, there would never be any wildfires in Los Angeles County.
Lesbianism causes pyrokinesis. FACT.
We’re just lucky she’s white.
We are talking about elected officials here bud
Oh sorry, you’re right. It was DEI that forced people to vote for one of those FEMALES. And they can’t do anything about wildfires except bleed on them once a month, am I right?
We’re just lucky she’s white.
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…
The Department of Redundancy Department?
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?
On Twitter they were asking people to work there for free.
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
The last bunch were stupid too. People made fun of Hitler’s sub-literate use of German and his lack of education. Most of his flunkies were dimwits too. It didn’t stop them committing wars of aggression, mass murders and genocide, though.
The odd exception was Mussolini, who was a journalist and novelist prior to becoming the gurning bullet-headed thug he was later famous for being. And, if we’re talking about psychopathic shit-sacks in general and not just fascists, Stalin was an award-winning poet before finding his vocation as mass murderer and totalitarian despot.
