Vivek Ramaswamy insists that he wasn't fired by Elon Musk from DOGE

Vivek Ramaswamy stayed a pious Republican throughout the US Presidential elections, supporting Donald Trump in whichever way possible. However, as soon as Trump won the US elections in 2024, the man who was slated to be the co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency alongside Elon Musk, suddenly vanished from the circuit, and Musk solely took up charge of DOGE.

Ramaswamy finally reveals reason for leaving DOGE

He was also away from the headlines during Trump's inauguration ceremony and rather stayed aloof from commenting on any major policies and executive orders signed by Trump over the week. Many had even begun questioning whether it was Musk who tried to push Ramaswamy out the door and was successful in his attempt. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Musk was not the person to fire him from DOGE, as stated by Vivek Ramaswamy himself.

Musk's approach to things 'tech-oriented'

Ramaswamy set the record straight in an interview by saying that he was to be fired from DOGE, but instead, he stayed away from DOGE as he is up for a bid for governor in his home state of Ohio by the end of the month. However, the interview host Watters was not apparently interested in the Republican's defense and pressed him about any possible rift between him and Musk. Ramaswamy calmly replied to this saying that this theory is rather incorrect, and both of them had 'different and complementary approaches'. According to Ramaswamy, Elon Musk's approach to things was much more technology-oriented, while his were legislative-based.
