Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is stepping down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), co-led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to focus on a gubernatorial campaign in Ohio.
Reports indicate that Ramaswamy will formally announce his candidacy next week. His departure leaves Musk as the sole leader of DOGE, a commission established under President Donald Trump to streamline government operations.
Ramaswamy's move signals a shift from federal initiatives to state-level politics, where he aims to leverage his business acumen.

Oh great, another tech bro turned politician thinking he can "run government like a business." Ramaswamy already showed his priorities by teaming up with Musk in that Trump-era commission, which was more about slashing public programs than actually improving efficiency. Now he wants to bring that same corporate-first mindset to Ohio? Hard pass. What we really need are leaders who prioritize working families, not billionaires' pet projects. Ohio deserves someone who actually understands public service, not another CEO looking to pad their resume. Let’s hope voters see through this.
