One of Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has resigned from his position after his links to racist social media posts promoting eugenics were unearthed. Marko Elez was one of two workers 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 Musk ally had actually resigned after The Wall Street Journal penetrated his links to the since-deleted social networks account. According to the publication, the X account 'promoted rescinding the Civil liberty Act and backed a 'eugenic immigration policy'.' Other posts presumably check out 'You might not pay me to marry beyond my ethnicity', and 'normalize Indian hate.' Another presumably read: '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 Israel were both cleaned off the face of the Earth.'
White House representative Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (envisioned) had resigned from his role. Elez graduated with a computer system science 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 desperate court demand to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first hiccup for the nascent firm after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to eliminate waste and overspending.
Over the coming days and weeks, the court's decision on personal privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the information will be a monumental test of their power to penetrate and erase government costs. Lawyers with the Justice Department consented to a movement that allows just 2 individuals related to Musk 'read-only' access to the system - consisting of tax returns and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with colleagues.
Those two employees 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 personal details consisting of Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a process to veterinarian civil servants, and why we hire and promote them based on merit, not their individual relationship to some abundant guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten great 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 associated with working with Elez be 'fired' and photorum.eclat-mauve.fr said DOGE 'ought to be deleted' in its entirety. Musk has faced criticism for his choice to employ a carefully picked group of young, college aged guys to assist him purge federal agencies and eliminate waste. This week, 6 guys aged between 19 and 25 were publicly identified as DOGE employees.
At simply 19, Edward Coristine (imagined) is the youngest of the fresh-faced bunch taking on business 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, in addition to Coristine, have apparently been given A-suite level clearance for their work, meaning they can work out of the company's top floor with access to all physical areas and opentx.cz IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been rapidly growing in power and broadening its remit, most just recently protecting clearance to access to limited parts of the General Services Administration buildings and IT systems.
The oldest of the bunch is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (visualized), who while not identified as having top level clearance has actually currently shown he wields significant power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has been named for his function with DOGE, which is supposedly on a 'volunteer' basis at this phase.
After widespread criticism about the guys's youth, Musk launched a statement about the visits. 'Time to confess: Media reports saying that DOGE has some of world's finest software application engineers remain in reality real,' Musk composed on X.
