DOGE Staffer Resigns Amidst Racist Social Media Controversy
Marko Elez, a 25-year-old Department of Government Efficiency engineer with access to sensitive U.S. Treasury payment systems, resigned following scrutiny of racist and eugenicist social media posts. The now-deleted account, linked to Elez through archived posts and usernames, contained numerous offensive statements targeting various ethnic groups. His resignation followed inquiries from the Wall Street Journal and concerns from Capitol Hill lawmakers regarding his access to critical payment infrastructure. Elez previously worked for Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Starlink, and X.
