"VIVEK RAMASWAMY is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio. I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL," Trump wrote.
"He’s Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country," he continued. "He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!"
Musk, a senior advisor to Trump, also offered Ramaswamy his endorsement a short time later.

Ramaswamy, 39, dropped out of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination to endorse Trump and become a surrogate for the current president.
