And he was brown with a funny name. Other than that, he was fungible, an over-educated and incompetent glad-handing CEO who hit the lottery due to getting a particularly large Golden Parachute to go away.

They're a dime a dozen; waiting on AI to be able to replace them.

20. Get out of DOGE: How Musk helped eject Ramaswamy
Mon Jan 20, 2025, 06:40 PM

As I suspected, Musk could not stand anyone else getting any attention and got rid of VR



https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/20/doge-musk-helped-eject-ramaswamy-00199487

Elon Musk has already achieved his first cut at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency: his co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy.

Musk, the tech tycoon and Donald Trump confidant, made it known that he wanted Ramaswamy out of DOGE in recent days, according to three people familiar with Musk’s preferences who, like others for this article, were granted anonymity to discuss them. An ill-received holiday rant on X by Ramaswamy about H-1B visas apparently hastened his demise.

Just 69 days after Trump announced the team, Ramaswamy is now leaving DOGE and planning to announce a run for Ohio governor next week. Musk’s ability to ice out Ramaswamy, who for a variety of reasons had irked some Republicans in Trump’s circle, is the latest sign of his influence in the incoming administration. And it presages an encore of all of the infighting that marked Trump’s first term.

Ramaswamy “just burned through the bridges and he finally burned Elon,” said a Republican strategist close to Trump advisers. “Everyone wants him out of Mar-a-Lago, out of D.C.”

One main reason for some Republicans’ frustration with Ramaswamy was a post he made on X during a discussion of H-1B visas. In late December, Ramaswamy criticized American culture, saying that tech companies hire foreign workers in part because of a mindset in the country that has “venerated mediocrity over excellence.”
