Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped down as co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, reportedly opting to run for Ohio governor instead.

企業家兼前總統候選人維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米(Vivek Ramaswamy) 與埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk) 一起辭去了政府效率部(DOGE) 聯合領導人的職務，據報道選擇競選俄亥俄州州長。

"It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE," Ramaswamy said in a January 20 post. "I'm confident that Elon and the team will succeed in streamlining government."

拉馬斯瓦米在 1 月 20 日的帖子中表示：“我很榮幸能夠幫助支持 DOGE 的創建。” “我相信埃隆和他的團隊將成功精簡政府。”

Ramaswamy remained tight-lipped about his future plans, but various US media outlets, including CBS News and The New York Times, have reported that the business leader and author is soon to announce his candidacy for Ohio governor.

拉馬斯瓦米對未來的計劃仍然守口如瓶，但包括哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞和《紐約時報》在內的多家美國媒體報道稱，這位商界領袖和作家即將宣布競選俄亥俄州州長。

"I have more to say very soon," Ramaswamy said, reaffirming his support for President Donald Trump.

拉馬斯瓦米表示：「我很快就會有更多話要說。」他重申了他對唐納德·川普總統的支持。

"Vivek Ramaswamy played a crucial role in helping us create DOGE. His intention to run for elected office soon requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure we announced today," DOGE spokesperson Anna Kelly told the Associated Press.

「維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米在幫助我們創建DOGE 方面發揮了至關重要的作用。他競選公職的意圖很快要求他根據我們今天宣布的結構留在DOGE 之外，」DOGE 發言人安娜·凱利告訴美聯社。

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's second and final term will conclude in January 2027.

俄亥俄州州長 Mike DeWine 的第二個也是最後一個任期將於 2027 年 1 月結束。

On January 18, Ramaswamy re-shared a post from a parody account portraying him as a candidate for Ohio governor. The pro-crypto Republican commented that the idea was not "a bad idea."

1 月 18 日，拉馬斯瓦米轉發了一個模仿帳戶的帖子，將他描述為俄亥俄州州長候選人。這位支持加密貨幣的共和黨人評論說，這個想法並不是「一個壞主意」。

According to Politico, Musk recently expressed his desire for Ramaswamy's departure from DOGE. A Republican strategist close to Trump's advisors told Politico that Ramaswamy had "burned through ... bridges and ... finally burned Elon. Everyone wants him out of Mar-a-Lago, out of D.C."

根據Politico報道，馬斯克最近表達了希望拉馬斯瓦米離開DOGE的願望。一位與川普顧問關係密切的共和黨策略家告訴《政治》雜誌，拉馬斯瓦米「燒毀了…橋樑，…最終燒毀了埃隆。每個人都希望他離開海湖莊園，離開華盛頓。

Ramaswamy's departure was partly attributed to his criticism of American culture. In December, he posted on Twitter that tech companies hire foreign workers due to a mindset that prioritizes "mediocrity over excellence."

拉馬斯瓦米的離開部分歸因於他對美國文化的批評。去年 12 月，他在 Twitter 上發文稱，科技公司僱用外國員工是因為他們優先考慮「平庸而不是卓越」的心態。

The Musk-led advisory organization, named after his favored cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE), was officially formed through executive orders signed by Trump on his first day in office.

這個由馬斯克領導的諮詢組織以他最喜歡的加密貨幣狗狗幣（DOGE）命名，是透過川普上任第一天簽署的行政命令正式成立的。

DOGE immediately faced lawsuits from consumer advocate group Public Citizen and other nonprofits upon Trump's inauguration.

川普就職後，DOGE 立即面臨消費者權益組織公共公民和其他非營利組織的訴訟。

The lawsuits allege that DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act by allowing private individuals to influence government decisions without adequate transparency and oversight.

這些訴訟指控 DOGE 允許私人在沒有足夠透明度和監督的情況下影響政府決策，違反了《聯邦諮詢委員會法》。

DOGE, announced by Trump shortly after his electoral victory in November, aims to reduce federal spending through budget cuts and mass firings.

川普在 11 月贏得選舉後不久宣布了 DOGE，旨在透過削減預算和大規模解僱來減少聯邦支出。
