  • Biotech billionaire, former Republican presidential candidate and Cincinnati-area native Vivek Ramaswamy didn't always have nice things to say about his new cost-cutting co-worker, Elon Musk.

The article from USA Today discusses a controversial social media exchange between entrepreneur and 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and tech mogul Elon Musk. Ramaswamy, in an attempt to engage with Musk on X (formerly Twitter), posted a video of himself rapping to the song "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, which was intended to promote his campaign. Musk responded with a meme featuring a circus monkey, which many interpreted as a dismissive or mocking gesture. This interaction led to a flurry of online reactions, with some users criticizing Ramaswamy for seeking attention in an unconventional way, while others found the exchange humorous. The article also touches on Ramaswamy's campaign strategy of using social media to connect with voters, his views on China, and his support for Dogecoin, which he mentioned in his post to Musk. The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of political campaigning in the digital age, where candidates often engage in viral moments to capture public attention.
