Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy revealed during a campaign stop Friday that his “ideal” pick for vice president would be someone like Elon Musk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m looking for people who are executives,” Ramaswamy said<\/a> after a voter in Corydon, Iowa, asked if he would be able to find enough cabinet picks who agree “with you that won’t cut your legs off.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Not in the pool of Washington, D.C.,” the 38-year-old presidential candidate answered. “If you\u2019re looking outside the pool, there\u2019s 300 million mostly good people in this country \u2026 So, a lot of them are going to be outsiders. I mean, an ideal vice president would be someone like an Elon Musk. Now, he wasn\u2019t born in the country, so he can\u2019t, you know, but that\u2019s the mold.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk would be unable to run for the vice presidency or presidency because he isn’t a natural-born citizen of the U.S. Musk was born in South Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy has previously said he would consider Musk as an adviser in the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier at Friday’s town hall, Ramaswamy said he had learned from former President Trump<\/a> that it’s important to surround oneself with some outsiders in the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It helps to have somebody who has complete and total disregard for the norms of Washington, D.C.,” he said. “Let’s take a jackhammer to it. It’s all fake. Most of it’s made up.”<\/p>\n

At the end of October, Ramaswamy revealed that Musk, who is the CEO of Telsa, SpaceX and owns X, formerly Twitter, had attended one of his fundraisers in Northern California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He showed up late at night and we had a conversation,”\u00a0he confirmed to Reuters at the time.”<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy added, “He and I are increasingly alone in this world as being free speech absolutists and that I think is different from a lot of people in both parties. I think that’s something he and I see eye to eye on.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
