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.
So he should change his name to Vinny then?
If he does, I’m fine with it. It’s just a name. Let people be called by the names they want to be called unless they’re unreasonably long or very difficult for anyone in pretty much any language to pronounce.
I won’t call you Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, but if you want me to call you Wowbagger, why not? I just don’t see the issue with anyone going with a name they weren’t born with other than the two things I just said.
If he wants to be called Vinny, I’ll call him Vinny.
