A deep philosophical rift between the two billionaire leaders of the “Department of Government Efficiency” left Musk alone at its top, which could give him more power than envisioned

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy co-hosted an X Space on the department of government efficiency to discuss its current initiatives and past government spending. This came as Ramaswamy is now out of DOGE for his yet-to-be-launched campaign for Ohio governor election.

The former Republican primary foe departs DOGE after his goal of trimming regulations was overtaken by Musk’s priority of cutting expenditures.
