 He doesn't manage those companies. He owns them, and makes top-level, conceptual decisions. When it comes to actually doing the work, he's absolute shit. He's simply not up to the job, and the burocratic realities he will have to navigate and contend with are way outside his qualifications and wheel house. Even those I despise the air Ramaswamy breathes, he is much more suited to the job, and I'd have a lot more optimism if it was just him running it. Obviously, time will tell, but I'm confident in my assessment, as it's rooted in fact and reason, not aspirational emotions, and fan-boy admiration for the image he presents.
