Well every other race was allowed to make hateful jokes/epithets/threats towards whites their entire lives, so they don't give a single **** who they offend. There's an entire generation that has been given the message that racism is a virtue; of course the message was that its only a virtue if its directed at white people, but if that propaganda doesn't take the kid tends to be driven to the opposite extreme.

The craziest thing here is that a mere month ago Elon had a category 5 sperg out calling this exact type of guy "subtarded" and saying they needed to be removed from the republican party "root and stem".

But that exact profile was leading his DOGE overthrow of the swamp?

When they were named as one of two individuals that were allowed access to certain data, they became public facing. Sucks, but that's how it goes.

Good. It's called freedom of speech. People don't have to like it, and if not, they can choose to ignore it.

It might be offensive, but everything is offensive to someone.

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....

...

Hard to feel bad for a guy who says, " 'Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.'"

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?
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.


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.
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.
This is right.

I don't like the feeling that the administration is giving in to another typical unfair leftist attack, but the one thing the leftist establishment needs is a focal point to build a narrative. Trump is a whirling dervish with an incredible pace of actions to keep them off-balance and the last thing we want is for the left to coalesce around some manufactured nonsense.
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

I hate racism. I have been a missionary for 18 years in three countries none of them 'white' I was a minority everywhere, My son was the ONLY minority in his school when we there.

He was a massive target for racism.

Yet, resignation/firing. in this case is totally wrong.

Guess what a person has a right to have preferences. Preferring your own ethnicity is not a crime, and preferring your own culture and wanting to keep it from encroachment is not a crime either.

Unless the guy has actually done something illegal or harmful to some one outside his ethnicity then he should not be fired or forced to resign. PERIOD!

I have endured so much 'racism' or 'persecutions' for being white or a 'Christian" It would take my hours to recount.

Still, we knew this was the way it was and will be.

If I prefer to marry someone with in my own ethnicity I am not a racist. if I don't marry someone from outside it simply means I just prefer my own culture. I am not hating on them Yet we have had racism stuffed down our throat 24/7. And there is going to be a back last to it.

And I have son that is married to an Indonesian girl, who calls me dad and I love like a daughter,

Yet my daughter had no desire to marry someone outside here ethnicity or culture, SHE IS NOT RACIST.

This hypocritical view point of racism needs to stop. Most Indians are very racist, as are Blacks, as are Japanese, They prefer their own ethnicity for marriage and friends. This is just the way it is.

Your statement is true. My thinking is that DOGE is working at a breakneck pace. At this time distractions should be eliminated swiftly so the DOGE program remains on target. Let the leftist Democratic Party leadership drone on at a problem that longer exists.
I would be willing to bet Elon Musk thought his actions through.

Yes, but. the post is saying he's a racist. What more does one need to think someone is a racist when they literally say they're one.

Well, for starters, you would have to actually be a racist in order to be a racist. That is, you would have to legitimately believe that a particular race is inferior in some way and conduct yourself in conformity with that belief.

Saying the words "I am a racist" does not make someone a racist, particularly if it's for satire, comedy, shock value, or some similar purpose. It might not be a wise thing to say, but simply speaking or typing the words "I am a racist" does not in itself mean anything.

Did he actually do or say anything else that demonstrates he legitimately holds racist beliefs?
