Elon Musk, frustrated with Vivek Ramaswamy's behavior at the Department of Government Efficiency, approached Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to suggest Ramaswamy be appointed to the Senate seat vacated by J.D. Vance. Musk's motivation shifted from wanting a DOGE representative in the Senate to wanting to remove Ramaswamy from his role. Although Musk urged for this appointment, Governor DeWine ultimately chose Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted instead. Ramaswamy's contentious relationship with Musk and party insiders seemed to complicate his political ambitions as he aimed for the Ohio governorship.
Musk found Ramaswamy annoying and requested he be appointed to the Senate to push him out of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Ultimately, Governor DeWine chose Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted over Ramaswamy, ending Musk's push to have him in the Senate.
