Musk says he will bring back DOGE staffer who resigned after a report of racist postings

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk said on Friday he is re-hiring a staff member at the Department of Government Efficiency who resigned a day earlier after he was linked to social media posts that espoused racism.

Musk, in a post on his social media network X, said he would bring back Marko Elez after Vice President JD Vance called for him to be rehired. President Donald Trump later endorsed his vice president’s view.

Marko Elez resigned Thursday after The Wall Street Journal linked the 25-year-old DOGE staffer to a deleted social media account on X that posted last year, “I was racist before it was cool” and “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” among other posts.

The account in September included a post that said, “Normalize Indian hate.” The vice president’s wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants.

Vance, in a post on Musk-owned X, said Elez should be brought back and blamed “journalists who try to destroy people.”

Overt, public racism is not disqualifying to work for the federal government any more. The notion that "racists need not apply" no longer holds with respect to federal government employment.

trump has given the white supremacists making up his solid, unshakeable base of support another reason to rejoice.

And Putin smiles.

Thanks Elon
 
I used to argue that Trump may not be a racist but the racists certainly support him. I was wrong, he is one of them.

Yes! Because the NAACP always gives racists awards.

Yup...he made a racist post when he was 16...that should dog him for the rest of his natural born life!

Hell, why not execute him now?
He’s 25 and made this remarks within the past YEAR.

So are you lying or just repeating lies you’ve told

In either case stop it

So what were the context of either of the tweets? Have your masters shared that with you?
 
From what I've read, it was as recently as last year. He's 25 now according to the same article.
"As recently as?" You know that phrase renders the second part of the sentence meaningless.

If I say, "I have as much as one billion dollars in my retirement account" it means that I have an unspecified figure less than one billion and one dollars.

Let me know when you find out the date of this supposed statement/tweet/post or whatever it was. With evidence, please.
 
One need not be a person of color or a victim of racism to speak out, or take action, against racists and racism. Seems to me that any American who cares about right and wrong, anyone who opposes racism in all its forms, has "skin in the game."


But you know, you do you...

It says more about the character of the person who was a victim to forgive than the person who speaks out for the sake of political expediency.

How many here can honestly say emphasis on honestly they have never said, written or posted something that would be considered racist? I won’t wait or expect any honest answers.
