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.
Federal agencies cannot be created by executive order, only acts of Congress.
You still think they give a shit about the law. Amazing.
It’s more about funding and authority than anything else. Musk has to front the money to run the think tank tank and they can’t actually do anything becuase they have no authority to operate. It’s literally going to be a group of people making recommendations that congress would need to pass.
