  • The added controversy around Ramaswamy is the last thing Elon Musk needs as he races to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget before the 2026 midterm elections.

The article from MSN discusses the implications of Vivek Ramaswamy's departure from his role as a co-czar of Dogecoin, which has been perceived as a political liability for Elon Musk. Ramaswamy, who was a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, had been appointed by Musk to help manage Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that Musk has publicly supported. His exit from this position comes at a time when Musk's involvement with Dogecoin has drawn scrutiny, especially given Ramaswamy's controversial political stances and his campaign's focus on anti-woke policies. This move is seen as an attempt by Musk to distance himself from political controversies, particularly as Ramaswamy's political activities could potentially tarnish Musk's image or complicate his business dealings. The article suggests that this separation might help Musk avoid further entanglement in political debates and maintain a more neutral public persona, especially important as he navigates his role at Tesla and other business ventures.
