Musk to rehire Treasury DOGE staffer behind racist posts after Trump endorses idea
https://www.cnbc.com ^ | Feb 7 2025 | Dan Mangan

Vice President JD Vance called for the rehiring of a DOGE staffer who resigned from a sensitive Trump administration post over the exposure of tweets advocating for racism and eugenics.

President Donald Trump later endorsed Vance’s recommendation.

Vance gave his view in a reply to a poll that DOGE chief Elon Musk launched on his social media platform X asking users if the staffer, Marko Elez, should be rehired.

So what is he then, the Token Democrat?

If he’s doing good work, we probably should let it slide that he supports the historical views of Planned Parenthood.

His "eugenics" comments were nothing more than expressing a preference to marry only within his (white) ethnic group, a perfectly acceptable position for any minority to take.

The key to offering forgiveness is admission of guilt. I would appreciate an acknowledgment of error.

What guilt does he need to admit to? What "error" exactly does he need to acknowledge?

Being an idiot
“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.” Weeks before that, it posted: “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

If those are his views, he shouldn't apologize for either comment.

We've become so cucked, we always feel we need to apologize for spicy takes. Meanwhile every lefty activist journo is over at bluecry tweeting "I hope Luigi attends the Superbowl!" without a fear in the world of losing their jobs.

We have all heard about Tech employers and Indians abusing the H1B for years. He has a right to question/complain about the system.

I didn’t read his posts or see his shares so IDK if he made racist comments or if some just turned it that way. As to who he plans to marry or not that should be his choice.

In my opinion he needed a reminder about posting on Social Media coming back to bite you. Not fired. I know I am happy their was no Social Media when I was young.

“He wants the H1B Indians gone and said he would never marry into that culture.”

If anything, he should be promoted, not fired. Democrats say similar things all the time, like ‘the white boys should be gone and white privilege should be eradicated’, and they are everywhere in Congress.

I believe he said he would not marry outside his ethnic group. 90 percent of humanity marries within their ethnic group. He is saying out loud what almost everyone believes. That is far less racist than the average sermon from Joy Reid, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Al Sharpton, Jamal Bowman, Ayanna Pressly, and company.

“anyone know what this “racist” post was exactly?”

He said he wouldn’t mind seeing the destruction of Israel.
