One of Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has resigned from his position after his links to racist social media posts promoting eugenics were uncovered. Marko Elez was among two employees at the Department of Government Efficiency approved 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 actually resigned after The Wall Street Journal probed his links to the since-deleted social media account. According to the publication, the X account 'advocated reversing the Civil liberty Act and backed a 'eugenic migration policy'.' Other posts apparently read 'You might not pay me to marry exterior of my ethnic culture', setiathome.berkeley.edu and 'normalize Indian hate.' Another presumably checked out: '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 incline at all if Gaza and Israel were both cleaned off the face of the Earth.'

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (pictured) had actually resigned from his function. Elez finished with a computer technology degree from Rutgers University and asteroidsathome.net went on to work for Musk's SpaceX, Starlink, and X, with a focus predominately in AI. It follows a last-ditch court demand to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first misstep for the nascent firm after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to remove waste and overspending.

Those two employees are Tom Krause and Elez. Virginia Congressman Don Beyer explained Elez' resignation as 'a scandal.' 'Elon Musk offered a self-described 'racist' and eugenicist access to a system that manages all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury,' he said. 'That system likewise contains the personal details including Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a procedure to veterinarian civil servants, and why we employ and promote them based on benefit, not their personal relationship to some abundant guy. How attempt Elon Musk bully and threaten good individuals who invested their careers serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He demanded everybody who was involved in hiring Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'ought to be deleted' in its entirety. Musk has actually faced criticism for his decision to employ a carefully picked group of young, college aged males to assist him purge federal companies and get rid of waste. Today, 6 guys aged between 19 and 25 were publicly identified as DOGE employees.

At just 19, Edward Coristine (pictured) is the youngest of the fresh-faced lot handling business America and longstanding government organizations. According to WIRED, he's been called an 'specialist' in his field, and specifics about his role aren't yet clear.

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, disgaeawiki.info along with Coristine, wiki.dulovic.tech have apparently been given A-suite level clearance for their work, indicating they can work out of the firm's top floor with access to all physical areas and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been rapidly growing in power and broadening its remit, most recently protecting clearance to access to restricted parts of the General Services Administration structures and IT systems.

The oldest of the lot is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (visualized), who while not determined as having leading level clearance has currently shown he wields considerable power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has been named for his role with DOGE, which is supposedly on a 'volunteer' basis at this stage.

After prevalent criticism about the men's youth, Musk released a statement about the appointments. 'Time to admit: Media reports saying that DOGE has a few of world's finest software engineers remain in fact true,' Musk wrote on X.
