“What [Musk] did at Twitter is a good example of what I want to do to the administrative state,” Ramaswamy said in an interview with Fox News.
His remarks come after Musk called Ramaswamy a “very promising candidate,” in an interview on Thursday on Tucker Carlson’s online show.
After buying the social media platform in a $44 billion deal last fall, the first installment of Musk’s “Twitter Files” were published by Matt Taibbi, an independent journalist.
The posts showed purported screenshots from internal communications from top executives on how to handle the New York Post’s publication of a story containing potentially damaging allegations about Hunter Biden, the son of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Ramaswamy suggested he was impressed “anytime a bureaucrat has pressured a private company for the world to see.”
Since purchasing the X platform, Musk has implemented a series of controversial changes including mass layoffs, the ousting of some top executives, pay walls on some features without a subscription and pulling back on some of the platform’s content moderation programs.
