Although Ramaswamy has not officially confirmed his candidacy, he hinted at a forthcoming announcement and reiterated his support for Donald Trump.
DOGE, created under a Trump executive order, focuses on cutting federal spending and streamlining government operations.
While a DOGE spokesperson praised Ramaswamy’s contributions, his exit follows reported tensions with Musk.
Politico alleged that Musk pushed for his departure due to strained relationships in political and social circles.
Ramaswamy has also faced criticism for controversial comments on cultural and hiring practices.
Musk, known for advocating government efficiency, now leads DOGE solo despite ongoing legal challenges accusing the organization of violating transparency laws.
Advocacy groups claim DOGE enables private individuals to influence government decisions without accountability.
Despite these hurdles, Musk and his team remain committed to advancing the initiative.
Meanwhile, Ramaswamy’s potential gubernatorial run signals his transition to a new phase in his political career.
