With the Sieg Heil, Elon’s Roman salute literally stole the spotlight. EVERYONE is talking about Elon instead of Donald Trump. I bet Trump is relieved, somehow, not to be in the spotlight this time.
Meanwhile, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become a lightning rod under the new Trump administration, with Elon Musk taking over as co-leader.
Initially paired with biotech player Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk looked set to lead the agenda. Then, several news outlets reported that Ramaswamy had retired without warning.
There is debate about whether Ramaswamy is out, but here are the next moves for DOGE anyway.

Just 69 days after Trump introduced DOGE, Ramaswamy is flagged as out. Reports suggest that Musk played a key role in Ramaswamy’s ouster following a controversial social media outburst about H-1B visas. According to insiders, Ramaswamy has faced growing frustration from Trump’s advisers and the assignment appears to have sealed his fate.
“They wanted it out before the tweet, but they kicked it to the curb when it came out,” said a source close to the decision.
The tweet, which criticized American culture and praised foreign workers for their “excellence,” angered many Republicans. It also clashed with Trump’s “America first” ethos, making Ramaswamy’s position untenable.
Elon Roman Salute: Musk’s Growing Influence
Ramaswamy’s departure highlights Musk’s growing influence in the Trump administration. Musk reportedly pushed for Ramaswamy’s removal, citing concerns about balancing DOGE responsibilities with political ambitions.
“Musk didn’t think it was feasible for Ramaswamy to campaign for governor of Ohio while working on DOGE,” a source close to the project revealed.
Elon Musk’s fingerprints on Trump’s agenda are nothing new, but his growing role in DOGE highlights a deeper fusion between Silicon Valley and government reform. Call it modernization if you’re optimistic, exaggeration if you’re not.
Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has retired, eyeing a gubernatorial bid in Ohio in 2026, an exit steeped in pragmatism.
Ramaswamy, for his part, insists that the split was mutual and in line with future plans. She doubled down on Monday, posting a smiling photo with Musk tagged “A new dawn.”
What will happen after Elon’s Roman greeting
The story of Musk and Ramaswamy DOGE 2025 offers a window into the delicate balance between personal ambition and political service.
We end with a note on $Doge, the meme coin: in one day, Elon said he would send Doge to Mars, and now there will soon be a government website dedicated to Doge. And with all thisDogecoin is only on the rise 1.4% on this news. There is literally nothing that can pump this damn coin.
Of course, if Dogecoin loses Elon to Doge, the government program, that will not bode well for price action. But we’ll see if Elon can get all his plates spinning.
