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


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

But by Thursday afternoon, the 25-year-old relied on Musk ally had resigned after The Wall Street Journal penetrated his links to the since-deleted social networks account. According to the publication, the X account 'advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act and backed a 'eugenic immigration policy'.' Other posts supposedly read 'You might not pay me to wed exterior of my ethnic background', and 'stabilize Indian hate.' Another apparently read: 'Just for thatswhathappened.wiki the record, I was racist before it was cool.' The account also weighed in on the Israel-Palestine crisis, with a post that checked out: 'I would not mind at all if Gaza and wiki.woge.or.at Israel were both rubbed out the face of the Earth.'

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

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's decision on personal privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the data will be a huge test of their power to infiltrate and spending. Lawyers with the Justice Department concurred to a movement that permits just two individuals connected with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - including income tax return and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they discover with colleagues.

Those two 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 controls all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury,' he said. 'That system also contains the individual details consisting of Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a process to vet civil servants, and why we work with and promote them based upon benefit, not their personal relationship to some rich guy. How attempt Elon Musk bully and threaten good people who invested their professions serving the American individuals when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He required everybody who was included in hiring Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'needs to be deleted' in its entirety. Musk has dealt with criticism for his choice to employ a carefully picked team of young, college aged guys to assist him purge federal firms and get rid of waste. Today, six males aged between 19 and 25 were openly determined as DOGE workers.

At just 19, Edward Coristine (visualized) is the youngest of the fresh-faced bunch handling corporate America and longstanding government organizations. According to WIRED, he's been called an 'professional' in his field, and specifics about his role aren't yet clear.

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, together with Coristine, have actually apparently been granted A-suite level clearance for their work, meaning they can work out of the agency's top floor with access to all physical areas and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has actually been quickly growing in power and expanding its remit, most recently protecting clearance to access to limited parts of the General Services Administration buildings and IT systems.

The earliest of the bunch is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (envisioned), accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw who while not identified as having leading level clearance has already proven he wields significant power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has actually been called for his function with DOGE, which is reportedly on a 'volunteer' basis at this stage.

After extensive criticism about the men's youth, Musk released a statement about the consultations. 'Time to confess: Media reports saying that DOGE has some of world's best software application engineers remain in reality true,' Musk composed on X.
