Businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will not be part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by X owner Elon Musk, a spokesperson confirmed.
“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the commission, said in a statement. “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”
