“What he did on Twitter is a good example of what I want to do with the administrative state,” Ramaswamy said in an interview on Fox News last week.
“Cut off 75 percent of the static cost, and improve the actual experience of what you’re supposed to do. He put a big X on Twitter, I’m going to put a big X on administrative status,” he said, adding: “So, that’s what I’m talking about on Shared Tactics.” with Elon.”
