Ramaswamy hoppar av – skulle ha jobbat med Musk
Vivek Ramaswamy hoppar av arbetet med Donald Trumps ”effektiviseringsdepartement” Doge, skriver Washington Post.
Ramaswamy var tänkt att leda satsningen tillsammans med Tesla-vd:n Elon Musk. Enligt tidningens källor beror inte avhoppet på några meningsskiljaktigheter med Trump eller Musk, utan på att han vill fokusera på det kommande guvernörsvalet i Ohio.
Ramawsamy väntas lansera sin kampanj i nästa vecka.

Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy (born August 9, 1985) is an American entrepreneur and politician. He founded Roivant Sciences, a pharmaceutical company, in 2014. In February 2023, Ramaswamy declared his candidacy for the Republican Party nomination in the 2024 United States presidential election. He suspended his campaign in January 2024, after finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses and proceeded to endorse Trump's candidacy.
Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents. He graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in biology and later earned a degree from Yale Law School. Ramaswamy worked as an investment partner at a hedge fund before founding Roivant Sciences. He also co-founded an investment firm, Strive Asset Management.
Ramaswamy has stated that he sees the United States in the middle of a national identity crisis precipitated by what he calls "new secular religions like COVID-ism, climate-ism, and gender ideology". He is also a critic of environmental, social, and corporate governance initiatives. In January 2024, Forbes estimated Ramaswamy's net worth at more than $960 million; his wealth comes from biotech and financial businesses.
