On Thursday (23rd January), American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy took to X (formerly Twitter) to dismiss ludicrous claims made by a racist, anti-semitic blog named ‘National File’ about his exit from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Ramaswamy resigned from DOGE on Monday (20th January), handing over the charge to Elon Musk. The Indian-origin entrepreneur plans to run as the Governor of Ohio.
Amid the development, ‘National File’ published a report. It claimed that Ramaswamy spoke to the racist blog and conceded that his tweet in support of the H1B visa and criticism of Americans for prizing ‘mediocrity over excellence’ led to his ouster from Trump administration.
Lie. Never spoke to these clowns.

“Lie. Never spoke to these clowns,” Vivek Ramaswamy clarified in a tweet on Thursday (23rd January).
An anti-Semitic white nationalist named Patrick Howley claimed to have interviewed the Indian-origin entrepreneur. As proof of his claims, he furnished a text message from a contact named ‘Vivek’ on his flip phone.
Dude I have no idea who you are, never got a text from you, and would never reply if I did.

“Dude I have no idea who you are, never got a text from you, and would never reply if I did,” Vivek Ramaswamy gave him a shut-up call.
