Along with the Sieg Heil, the Elon Roman Salute literally stole the show. EVERYONE is talking about Elon instead of Donald Trump. I bet Trump is relieved, in some way, to not be in the spotlight this time around.
Meanwhile, the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) has become a lightning rod under the new Trump administration, with Elon Musk as co-leader.
Initially associated with biotech actor Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk seemed set to lead the agenda. Then, several media outlets reported that Ramaswamy had stepped down without warning.
There is a debate whether Ramaswamy is out, but here are the next steps for DOGE.

Just 69 days after Trump unveiled DOGE, Ramaswamy is reportedly out. Reports suggest that Musk played a central role in Ramaswamy’s ouster following a controversial social media rant about H-1B visas. According to inside sources, Ramaswamy faced growing frustration from Trump advisers, and the post seemingly sealed his fate.
“They wanted him taken down before the tweet was published, but they kicked him out as soon as it came out,” said a source close to the decision.
The tweet, which criticized American culture and praised foreign workers for their “excellence,” offended many Republicans. It also clashed with Trump’s America-first philosophy, making Ramaswamy’s position untenable.
Hail to Elon Roman: Musk’s Growing Influence
Ramaswamy’s departure underscores Musk’s growing influence in the Trump administration. Musk reportedly pushed for Ramaswamy’s removal, citing concerns about balancing DOGE responsibilities and political ambitions.
“Musk didn’t think it was possible for Ramaswamy to campaign for governor of Ohio while working on DOGE,” a source close to the project revealed.
Elon Musk’s imprint on Trump’s agenda is not new, but his growing role within DOGE underscores a deeper merger between Silicon Valley and government reform. Call it modernization if you’re optimistic, or excess if you’re not.
Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has bowed out, setting his sights on a run for governor of Ohio in 2026 – an exit marked by pragmatism.
Ramaswamy, for his part, insists that the separation was mutual and aligned with future plans. On Monday, he doubled down by posting a smiling photo with Musk labeled “A New Dawn.”
What’s next after Elon Roman’s salvation
The story of Musk and Ramaswamy DOGE 2025 offers a window into the delicate balance between personal ambition and political service.
Let’s end with a note on $Doge, the meme coin: In one day, Elon said he would send Doge to Mars, and there will soon be a government website dedicated to Doge. And with all thatDogecoin is only rising 1.4% on this news. There is literally nothing that can pump this damn room.
Of course, if Dogecoin loses Elon to Doge, the government program, that doesn’t bode well for price action. But we’ll see if Elon can keep all his plates spinning.
