Vivek Ramaswamy Resigns from Leadership Position $DOGE

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has decided to leave the Government Effectiveness Department just a few months after being appointed co-leader. Ramaswamy's decision to leave DOGE was announced a few hours after President Donald Trump officially began his second term in office, making Elon Musk the sole leader of the cost-cutting advisory group. In a post on January 21 on X, the 39-year-old entrepreneur expressed that he was very honored to be supported in setting up DOGE, expressing confidence in Musk and the possibility of "succeeding in streamlining the government" of the group.

Not being clear about future plans, Ramaswamy said he will "soon say more" about future plans, especially in Ohio, while reaffirming his commitment to help President Trump "make America great again". According to those who understand this issue, Ramaswamy, a native of Ohio, is preparing to announce his candidacy for governor of Ohio, with reports indicating that he sees this as the next step in his political career. If elected, he will succeed Governor Mike DeWine, who is serving his second and final term, which will end in January 2027 due to term limits. The Ohio gubernatorial election is scheduled for November 2026. Anna Kelly, a DOGE official, has confirmed Ramaswamy's plan to 'run for elected office' in comments sent to the Associated Press. According to Kelly, this requires him to leave the organization due to its 'structure', which prohibits active members from pursuing political campaigns. This development comes after reports of escalating tensions between Ramaswamy and Musk, with sources citing Ramaswamy's December X post criticizing American culture as a turning point for Tesla's CEO Musk is said to see Ramaswamy's dual focus on DOGE and his political ambitions as unsustainable. Those close to the situation describe it as the culmination of 'burning bridges' within Trump's circle, accelerating his departure from the advisory group. In this context, DOGE has been criticized for revising ambitious budget-cutting targets they set when established. Initially considered a group of advisers capable of changing the game by potentially cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget, the organization faced skepticism after Musk proposed a more modest goal of $1 trillion as a practical result. As previously reported by crypto.news, critics, including tech journalist Kara Swisher, pointed out that DOGE lacks real authority to enforce budget cuts as a major limitation, raising questions about the potential for meaningful results for this currency.
