Elon Musk's new DOGE Staffer Quits Over Racist Social Media Posts


One of Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has resigned from his position after his links to racist social media posts promoting eugenics were discovered. Marko Elez was among 2 employees at the Department of Government Efficiency granted access to $5trillion in the Treasury payment systems following an 11th hour court hearing on Thursday.

But by Thursday afternoon, the 25-year-old trusted Musk ally had actually resigned after The Wall Street Journal penetrated his links to the since-deleted social . According to the publication, the X account 'promoted rescinding the Civil liberty Act and backed a 'eugenic immigration policy'.' Other posts supposedly check out 'You could not pay me to marry beyond my ethnic culture', and 'stabilize Indian hate.' Another allegedly checked out: 'Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.' The account also weighed in on the Israel-Palestine crisis, with a post that read: 'I would incline at all if Gaza and archmageriseswiki.com Israel were both cleaned off the face of the Earth.'

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (visualized) had resigned from his function. Elez graduated with a computer technology degree from Rutgers University and went on to work for Musk's SpaceX, Starlink, and X, with a focus predominately in AI. It follows a last-ditch court demand to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first misstep for the nascent company after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to remove waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's choice on privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the information will be a huge test of their power to penetrate and eliminate government costs. Lawyers with the Justice Department consented to a movement that permits just 2 people related to Musk 'read-only' access to the system - consisting of income tax return and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with coworkers.

Those 2 staff members are Musk disciples Tom Krause and Elez. Virginia Congressman Don Beyer explained Elez' resignation as 'a scandal.' 'Elon Musk provided a self-described 'racist' and eugenicist access to a system that manages all monetary payments from the U.S. Treasury,' he said. 'That system also contains the personal details consisting of Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a process to veterinarian civil servants, and why we employ and promote them based on merit, not their individual relationship to some abundant guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten excellent individuals who invested their professions serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He demanded everyone who was involved in employing Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'should be deleted' in its entirety. Musk has actually faced criticism for his decision to hire a hand-picked team of young, college aged men to help him purge federal companies and eliminate waste. Today, 6 males aged between 19 and 25 were openly recognized as DOGE employees.

At simply 19, Edward Coristine (visualized) is the youngest of the fresh-faced lot handling corporate America and longstanding federal government institutions. According to WIRED, he's been dubbed an 'expert' in his field, and specifics about his function aren't yet clear.

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, in addition to Coristine, have actually reportedly been granted A-suite level clearance for their work, implying they can work out of the firm's leading flooring with access to all physical spaces and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has actually been quickly growing in power and broadening its remit, most recently securing clearance to access to restricted parts of the General Services Administration structures and IT systems.

The oldest of the bunch is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (pictured), who while not identified as having top level clearance has actually already proven he wields substantial power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has actually been called for his function with DOGE, which is apparently on a 'volunteer' basis at this phase.

After prevalent criticism about the guys's youth, Musk launched a declaration about the consultations. 'Time to confess: Media reports stating that DOGE has some of world's finest software application engineers remain in fact true,' Musk wrote on X.
