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.

企业家兼前总统候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 与埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 一起辞去了政府效率部 (DOGE) 联合领导人的职务，据报道选择竞选俄亥俄州州长。

"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."

拉马斯瓦米在 1 月 20 日的帖子中表示：“我很荣幸能够帮助支持 DOGE 的创建。” “我相信埃隆和他的团队将成功精简政府。”

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.

拉马斯瓦米对未来的计划仍然守口如瓶，但包括哥伦比亚广播公司新闻和《纽约时报》在内的多家美国媒体报道称，这位商界领袖和作家即将宣布竞选俄亥俄州州长。

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

“我很快就会有更多话要说，”拉马斯瓦米说道，重申了他对唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持。

"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.

“维韦克·拉马斯瓦米在帮助我们创建 DOGE 方面发挥了至关重要的作用。他竞选公职的意图很快要求他根据我们今天宣布的结构留在 DOGE 之外，”DOGE 发言人安娜·凯利告诉美联社。

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

俄亥俄州州长 Mike DeWine 的第二个也是最后一个任期将于 2027 年 1 月结束。

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，拉马斯瓦米转发了一个模仿账户的帖子，将他描述为俄亥俄州州长候选人。这位支持加密货币的共和党人评论说，这个想法并不是“一个坏主意”。

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."

据Politico报道，马斯克最近表达了希望拉马斯瓦米离开DOGE的愿望。一位与特朗普顾问关系密切的共和党战略家告诉《政治》杂志，拉马斯瓦米“烧毁了……桥梁，……最终烧毁了埃隆。每个人都希望他离开海湖庄园，离开华盛顿。”

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."

拉马斯瓦米的离开部分归因于他对美国文化的批评。去年 12 月，他在 Twitter 上发帖称，科技公司雇用外国员工是因为他们优先考虑“平庸而不是卓越”的心态。

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.

这个由马斯克领导的咨询组织以他最喜欢的加密货币狗狗币（DOGE）命名，是通过特朗普上任第一天签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.

特朗普就职后，DOGE 立即面临消费者权益组织公共公民和其他非营利组织的诉讼。

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

这些诉讼指控 DOGE 允许私人在没有足够透明度和监督的情况下影响政府决策，违反了《联邦咨询委员会法》。

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

特朗普在 11 月赢得选举后不久宣布了 DOGE，旨在通过削减预算和大规模解雇来减少联邦支出。
