But a person who worked closely with Ramaswamy said, "He thinks people are put on this earth to serve him."
Roivant attracted investors including Masayoshi Son's SoftBank Vision Fund, Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, and the hedge fund Viking Global Investors.
Former Roivant employees said Ramaswamy worked hard and expected the same of others.
McLaughlin called the employee's recollection "inaccurate," adding that Ramaswamy "has never once raised his voice or used bad language with employees."
At Roivant, Ramaswamy kept his politics largely to himself, former employees said.
