Musk to rehire Treasury DOGE staffer behind racist posts after Trump endorses idea
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.
