  • Billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy arrived Thursday on Capitol Hill meeting with legislators behind closed doors about President-elect Donald Trump's plans to "dismantle" the federal government.

The article from The Washington Post discusses Elon Musk's endorsement of Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate, through a social media post featuring a photoshopped image of Ramaswamy with a dog, referencing the popular Dogecoin meme. Musk, known for his influence in tech and social media, has previously shown support for Ramaswamy, who has been gaining traction in the GOP primaries. Ramaswamy, in turn, has embraced the meme culture, often engaging with internet humor to connect with younger voters. This interaction highlights the intersection of politics, technology, and internet culture, showcasing how candidates are using unconventional methods to appeal to voters in the digital age. The article also touches on the broader implications of such endorsements and the potential impact on Ramaswamy's campaign, as well as the ongoing fascination with Musk's political leanings and his ability to sway public opinion.
