Elon Musk has announced his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) in Donald Trump’s administration. This leaves the leadership of the agency in doldrums. It’s got people talking,

As Elon Musk leaves his leadership role at DOGE, and President Trump says DOGE’s work will continue, the question now is: Who will take the reins to become Musk’s successor?

Elon Musk reportedly tried to have Vivek Ramaswamy appointed to the Senate just so that he wouldn’t have to work alongside him at the DOGE. The Tesla CEO initially placed a secret call to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine earlier this year,

Elon Musk asked Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to appoint Vivek Ramaswamy to the Senate because he found his DOGE co-head "annoying", according to a new report. The post Elon Musk Urged Ohio’s Governor to Appoint Vivek Ramaswamy to Senate Because He Found Him ‘Annoying’: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

Though US President Donald Trump has not dropped a hint on who may replace Elon Musk as the DOGE chief, certain names are doing the rounds. Several contenders like Vivek Ramaswamy, Tom Krause, Amy Gleason are there and the president may choose any of them as a successor of Musk.

Elon Musk, growing tired of Vivek Ramaswamy and eager to push him out of the Department of Government Efficiency, telephoned Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine earlier this year with a request: appoint Ramaswamy to the Senate seat being vacated by Vice President-elect J.

Indian-origin entrepreneur and former DOGE member Vivek Ramaswamy’s heartfelt post celebrating his 10th wedding anniversary was marred by a wave of racist and anti-immigration remarks, highlighting growing tensions around the H-1B visa program in the US.

Vivek Ramaswamy is also the second personality of Indian-origin, after Walmart CTO Suresh Kumar, to have been targetted by Americans who do not support the current immigration policies in the country.
