The former Republican presidential candidate teased a run for Ohio governor during an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Monday when questioned why he left the newly formed “DOGE” now solely led by tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

Ramaswamy confirmed that he "was [going to be] pursuing electoral office very soon," amid rumours he will run for Ohio senator.

A new memo from the human capital agency says federal agencies should change policies and require workers to be in the office full time by the end of the week.

The State Department has already begun to implement the president’s memo cancelling telework agreements as of March 1 and remote work arrangements July 1, with exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities.

Vivek Ramaswamy is an American billionaire entrepreneur born to Indian immigrant parents in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has established himself as a notable figure in both business and politics.

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.

Amanda Scales, a former employee of Elon Musk’s AI company, was recently tapped to be the chief of staff at OPM.

The Trump administration is offering buyouts to federal workers. Read the memo the Office of Personnel Management posted for employees.

Acting Director Rob Shriver said a one-size-fits-all policy for remote work would “dramatically impact” the government’s ability to handle challenges.

There are exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities in the policy, which DOGE leaders have touted as a way to shrink the federal civilian workforce.
