Marko Elez was on the DOGE team formed by Elon Musk and tasked by President Donald Trump with cutting federal spending and reducing the government workforce.
Summary
JD Vance called for the rehiring of Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer who resigned after The Wall Street Journal exposed his racist and eugenicist tweets.
Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.
Vance, while disagreeing with Elez’s posts, opposed “rewarding journalists who try to destroy people.”
Elez had access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system before resigning.
Wtf I thought this was something years ago that they're saying "don't let an old post ruin your life now". He posted this shit in September
The account linked to Elez tweeted in September, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”
The same month, the account tweeted ″‘Normalize Indian hate,’ referring to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley,” the Journal reported.
In the same breath, they refer to him as a kid making a mistake, to appeal to us. We've all been in somewhat similar situations, making mistakes as kids. And then seconds later, he's a highly trained professional who is well-equipped to manage poring through Treasury docs and deciding where funding is sent or ceased.
What is he? Is he a kid or is he an adult? Be consistent. Fuck everything about this.
"We shouldn't reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever," said Vance, referring to the fact that The Wall Street Journal on Thursday exposed Elez's connection to an X account that made the inflammatory tweets.
Destroy people by simply pointing out what those people said lol.

Interesting way to force people to keep using it. If you want to vote on these things you need an X account, but no sane, decent person is on X anymore so can't influence the vote
Vance is a total cuck. Imagine having to tell your wife and your kids that you called for someone to be rehired after he resigned because it was discovered he was saying to hate on Indians....
Do you think his wife and kids are any different? They probably talk about how the "kid was just being stupid" and "everyone makes racist comments at one time or another" around the dinner table while listening to John Denver
Can I buy some kind of financial instrument that invests in precisely the opposite shit JD Vance does because the opposite of JD Vance is smart as fuck.
I'm thinking of investing in "JD Vance killed Donald Trump" merch, not because he did, but considering Donald's age and arteries, if Trump dies of natural causes in office, I'll be able to ride that conspiracy into my own retirement.
it is 2026, much of North America is desert. Machines mine what little is left unspent and undefiled. Upon this horizon we can be seen riding giant sandworms of conservative bullshit nonsense, our hooks of satire set sure on yet another raid on Bigot Town.
In this future winning is a state of mind, something beyond a matter of deducing likelihoods of success in particular acts of resistance, it is rather more like getting a high score in tony hawk pro skater.
Fuck the racist posts this was the guy mucking about in the treasury systems financial computer code without any safeties. All changes directly to live. He should be black listed for that idiocy alone.
Do you get royalties every time you say this or something? You've had an account for ~3 days and you've already used variations of that phrase at least 8 times. I'm not attacking the sentiment, it just feels forced and isn't a particularly witty comment worthy of that much repetition.
Definitely no royalties! Just stating the obvious. I thought there would be more of a bang, but nope. You dont have to like it. I dont agree with everything I read online, but that is the great thing about our current lives is that we have the ability to disagree. I just hope it stays that way
