Ketamine brained billionaire Elon Musk in January was so “annoyed” with having younger, more wiry, tech bro Vivek Ramaswamy on the DOGE team that he called Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to ask him to help get ride of Da Vek by appointing him to the Senate seat about to be vacated by JD Vance.
That was the real reason, according to Politico. Musk actually began the call by telling DeWine he needed Ramaswamy to act as his “point-person” for DOGE in the Senate but within a few minutes admitted that Vivek annoys the shit out of him. DeWine appointed then-Lt Gov Jon Husted instead.
The embarrassing revelation about the limits of Musk’s influence comes just hours after the Washington Post printed an interview in which Ketamine Brain himself came to terms with it. “The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized. I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in DC, to say the least,” Musk lamented.
“DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything,” the spurned edgelord continued. “So, like, something bad would happen anywhere, and we would get blamed for it even if we had nothing to do with it… People were burning Teslas. Why would you do that? That’s really uncool.”
