‘We had different and complementary approaches,’ Ramaswamy says of Musk. Vivek Ramaswamy, the former co-leader of the Department for Government Efficiency, was asked during an appearance on Fox News if he was fired from the advisory panel by Elon Musk.

“No, we had a mutual discussion and I wish him well, we’re on the same page, we’re divide and conquer and saving the country, it’s not a one-man show from the top down or the bottom up, it’s all of the above,” he said. Ramaswamy was set to lead the advisory board alongside Musk, but he recently left the role amid rumors that he’s set to run for governor of Ohio after being passed over as a replacement in the Senate for Vice President J.D. Vance. During an interview with Fox News’s Jesse Watters on Monday night, Ramaswamy rejected the idea that Musk had fired him.
"People are saying you didn’t get along with Musk - what happened there?" Watters asked Ramaswamy. “I think that’s incorrect, but what I would say is we had different and complementary approaches,” said Ramawamy. "I focused more on a constitutional law, legislative-based approach, he focused more on a technology approach, which is the future approach, no better person to lead that technology, digital approach than Elon Musk, but when you’re talking about a constitutional revival, it’s not just done through the federal government, it’s done through federalism, where states also lead the way,” he added.
