Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy has been removed as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after criticizing U.S. work culture as “mediocre” in a controversial social media post.

The comment reportedly angered allies and led Elon Musk, his DOGE co-chair, to push him out.

Ramaswamy, accused of minimal contributions, plans to run for Ohio governor.

DOGE, an initiative aimed at slashing federal spending, faces legal challenges over transparency and its undefined role within government.

Musk remains its sole leader as lawsuits continue.

    Vivek got it wrong. It is not Americas work culture that is mediocre. It’s the management, both in business and politics, and calling it “mediocre” is quite optimistic…

      Is it management, or is it the money (venture capital/big banks etc) driving management?

      Edit: I’ve worked places with what I’d call good management, but when bigger money comes in things change.
