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.

      Ohio is so lily white and one of the most racist U.S. states. They will never accept Ramaswamy.

          Yeah racists can surprise you. If their choice is a Democrat, and a brown skinned racist (who will “run the government like a business” as if that’s a good idea), I have a feeling the racist has a pretty good shot.
