The Left is faking outrage but is silently cackling with glee that they have killed off one of Musk's wunderkids.

This time it was the Wall Street Journal doing the work for the Left, identifying racist social media posts.

Elon Musk's top DOGE staffer Marko Elez quits over racist social media posts
By BRITTANY CHAIN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Published: 17:09 EST, 6 February 2025 | Updated: 21:33 EST, 6 February 2025

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 employees 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-year-old trusted Musk ally had resigned after The Wall Street Journal probed his links to the since-deleted social media account.

According to the publication, the X account 'advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act and backed a 'eugenic immigration policy'.'

Other posts allegedly read 'You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity', and 'normalize Indian hate.'

Another allegedly 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 not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.'

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Elez had resigned from his role.

Elez graduated 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 request to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first hiccup for the nascent agency after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to eliminate waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's decision on privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the data will be a monumental test of their power to infiltrate and wipe out government spending.

Lawyers with the Justice Department agreed to a motion that allows only two people associated with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - including 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 described Elez' resignation as 'a scandal.'

'Elon Musk gave 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 information including Social Security info of every American....

Should have never resigned. The right needs to stop giving in to cancel culture. Every single DOGE employee is going to get doxxed, who cares what they find? There are sitting DNC congressmen saying Iowa is too white so why the hell should we care if a pro-white person is anywhere in the GOP?

Swift action corrected a problem. Something the Democratic Party leadership could learn from.
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”

While it's 1000% bull****, the quick resignation shuts down the talking point. They can TRY to continue on it, but he's not there, it'll be a new DOGE autist.

Marko can go work somewhere else that still helps this plan move forward.

This post on X is incredible true. You cannot be at the level of pattern recognition these guys are at and not be like this. It's impossible.

My point is that all of these guys are this way. This guy just had poor OPSEC online.

As for leaving or resigning, you never ever give in ir apologize. Never let the left set the field of play.

No...

That is how the left keeps an attack up for a longer period. They have a target they can continue to fire at and then the rest of the media starts firing.

Shut it down. The attack now has no teeth and dies ASAP.


I agree with your sentiment, though. Don't let them win. But, STAYING lets them win.

Notice there was no apology. He just left.

Eh hopefully he gets a new consulting job that analyzes a bunch of data from DOGE through some sort of shell corp that allows his identity to be hidden.

I mean, the people running our government for 4 years were hidden.

THAT.

And WSJ basically favors the global private club approach, even if not all the Left Regressive ones. They are not much more interested in any big reform than other media.

I can almost guarantee you he is continuing to work for DOGE using information that DOGE has made available to the public.

wtf clown **** invalid are you reposting?

I get the "pick two" situation for most of them when it makes sense in an industry or profession or skillset to only pick two;
when i was 13 and built computers it was; cheap, fast, reliable -- pick two. If it's cheap and fast (performance), its not reliable. If its fast (performs) and is reliable, it isnt going to be cheap.
Same thing when I bought a car.
And there are similar among people with a lot of experience that definitely ring true....

but in what world is being "trans" one of the indicators of a high level of pattern-recognizing brilliance?

If you are "trans", you are quite literally one of the worst pattern-recognizing brains on planet Earth. If you remove 1 of the 3, your trichotomy automatically falls apart into whatever pattern this idiotic person that you quoted believes without any supposition or questioning of the other two.

Every Olympic Athlete is exactly two out of the three of:
-Being genetically gifted
-Training 60 hours a week for years
-Having a BMI below 40.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. EVERY ONE FALLS INTO THE SAME CATEGORY.

Nope. Until you can explain why this is bad while a sitting Congressman is saying Iowa is too white, then I don't give a **** what he says about other races. His favorite word could be the N word and I wouldn't care. I am tired of anyone on the right giving in racial issues while allowing the left free reign just because they do it to whites.

I don't condone it, but outright hateful racism as jokes is making a comeback in a big way with the younger generations. It's not taboo anymore.

There are a lot of top notch programmers who are trans for some reason. I don't know why, but it's reality. A lot of these types are also autistic too. It's likely a function of their autism and social awkwardness.

Fall of the programmers at this level are autistic. From there they either become trans are hardcore racist. There is no middle ground.

We're not talking about your standard basic programmer here, you're talking about the elite of the elite. A comparison here is Delta Force or Dev Gru in the military. All of these guys are the wire of the special forces and they always have specific traits that set them apart even from normal special forces. Another example would be Hall of Famers in professional sports.

No one here qualifies as this type of engineer. If you did, you wouldn't be posting here because your work would be eating up most of your life.

Why is racism the most unforgivable offense? Sure it's not a virtue and if you act on it to discriminate or harm others, it's really bad. But what does someone's views on race have to with any other part of their life?

You'd think that the left would be all for eugenics. They have been champions of it all the way back to one of their patron saints, Margret Sanger, and they are terrified of losing the highest sacrament of eugenics, abortion

Look. I get it's bull*****

But you're not looking at the big picture. You're focusing only on the attack on him.

What this really is is a way for the left to use that attack to damage the good work that DOGE is doing.

Think strategically, not tactically.

You want to win a battle, meanwhile the left uses it to win the war. But, hey! At least you didn't give in.

Sorry, but he had to go. There's no place for people with those views in his role. Frankly, he's not so sharp if he didn't understand public comments like that would come back and bite him someday. He needs to be replaced quickly and keep the work he was doing moving forward.

These are basically autistic, apolitical, brilliant kids that have not, until this assignment, had a weird calls at night threatening them if they didn't stop their high profile, Adrenalin fueled job. Its fun and games until the threats to do xyz start coming in from very scary people.

Or you get a call to offering big money to quit and for a bonus say something bad about Musk

Nothing the left does in response would surprise me. Buckle up its going to get nasty. Big big money is at stake.

A lot of people have nothing but their race as their identity and value. So when that happens any attack on that is the worst thing they can imagine.

What did the resurfaced posts say?

The backstory:
Elez, who worked inside the Treasury Department as part of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was linked to a now-deleted X account that made multiple racist and inflammatory statements. The Wall Street Journal reviewed archived posts from the account, including:

  • "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool." (July 2024)
  • "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." (September 2024)
  • "Normalize Indian hate." (September 2024)
  • "99% of Indian H1Bs will be replaced by slightly smarter LLMs, they're going back don't worry guys." (December 2024)
  • "I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth." (June 2024)

Agree with you. He was wrong in making those posts, but then he should have waited this out.

Racism is not shocking, it still exists in America there are racists on TA also, it and will never go away. Not just white, there are brown, black, yellow racists also.
So what?

At stake is a bigger job.
Just get the job done.
