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.
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.
