Recent developments have highlighted tensions between Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, co-chairs of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Ramaswamy previously referred to Musk as a “circus monkey” for China, indicating underlying disagreements.
Musk’s recent actions have intensified scrutiny. He announced plans to relocate the headquarters of SpaceX and X from California to Texas in response to a California law concerning gender identity in schools. Additionally, Musk’s handling of policies on X (formerly Twitter) related to misgendering has raised concerns among LGBTQ+ advocates.
These developments suggest potential challenges in the co-chairmanship, with differing leadership styles and priorities becoming more apparent.
