Vivek Ramaswamy wants Elon Musk as advisor if he wins election: Report

Ramaswamy said he wants to bring in people with “a blank fresh impression", after a voter at a town hall in Iowa asked the 38-year-old entrepreneur last week where he would seek guidance if elected, The Hill reported, citing NBC News.

"I’ve enjoyed getting to know better, Elon Musk recently, I expect him to be an interesting adviser of mine because he laid off 75 per cent of the employees at Twitter,”

Ramaswamy said. Ramaswamy has previously complimented Musk’s management of X, previously Twitter, saying he would run the government the way that company.
