Vivek Ramaswamy exits DOGE role as Elon Musk takes control
Ramaswamy leaves DOGE for possible Ohio bid as Musk spearheads federal streamlining.
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has resigned from his position at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Ramaswamy announced this in a Jan. 20 post on X, stating that he would no longer co-lead DOGE, a department focused on streamlining US government operations.
He expressed optimism about the department’s future under X owner Elon Musk , who he believes will ensure its success.
He stated :
“It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE. I’m confident that Elon & team will succeed in streamlining government.”
The entrepreneur and political figure hinted at significant developments in his home state, Ohio, promising more details soon. Observers believe Ramaswamy may be preparing to launch a gubernatorial campaign, although he has yet to confirm these reports.
DOGE
President Donald Trump established DOGE on Jan. 20 through an executive order, tasking the department with improving federal technology and productivity.
The initiative rebranded the US Digital Service (USDS) into the US DOGE Service, initially created to modernize government technology. The updated mandate prioritizes upgrading obsolete systems and streamlining processes across federal agencies.
Federal agencies must establish dedicated DOGE teams within 30 days as part of the executive order. These teams, composed of technology, legal, HR, and leadership experts, will collaborate with DOGE to implement a comprehensive modernization plan.
A temporary organization, the US DOGE Service Temporary Organisation, was also formed to manage this initiative. All related projects are expected to conclude by July 4, 2026, aligning with the conclusion of Trump’s 18-month reform agenda.
In response to the order, Musk said:
“There will be meaningful progress every week.”
Despite its ambitious goals, DOGE faces resistance. Legal challenges have emerged, with reports of lawsuits seeking to delay its rollout until the program meets transparency requirements.
