One of Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has resigned from his position after his links to racist social networks posts promoting eugenics were uncovered. Marko Elez was one of 2 employees at the Department of Government Efficiency gave access to $5trillion in the Treasury payment systems following an 11th hour court hearing on Thursday.

But by Thursday afternoon, the 25-year-old relied on Musk ally had resigned after The Wall Street Journal probed his links to the since-deleted social networks account. According to the publication, the X account 'advocated rescinding the Civil Rights Act and backed a 'eugenic immigration Other posts apparently check out 'You might not pay me to marry outside of my ethnic culture', and 'normalize Indian hate.' Another apparently read: 'Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.' The account also weighed in on the Israel-Palestine crisis, antir.sca.wiki with a post that read: 'I would incline at all if Gaza and Israel were both rubbed out the face of the Earth.'

White House representative Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (pictured) had actually resigned from his role. Elez finished 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 desperate court demand to restrict DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first misstep for the nascent firm after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to get rid of waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's decision on privacy issues about DOGE's access to the information will be a huge test of their power to penetrate and wipe out federal government spending. Lawyers with the Justice Department concurred to a motion that enables only 2 individuals associated with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - consisting of income tax return and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with associates.

Those two staff members are Musk disciples Tom Krause and Elez. Virginia Congressman Don Beyer explained 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 individual details consisting of Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a procedure to veterinarian civil servants, and why we hire and promote them based on merit, not their personal relationship to some rich guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten great individuals who spent their careers serving the American individuals when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He demanded everybody who was associated with employing Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'ought to be erased' in its whole. Musk has actually dealt with criticism for his choice to employ a carefully picked team of young, college aged males to help him purge federal companies and remove waste. Today, 6 males aged in between 19 and 25 were publicly recognized as DOGE employees.

At simply 19, Edward Coristine (envisioned) is the youngest of the fresh-faced bunch handling business America and longstanding federal government institutions. According to WIRED, he's been called an 'expert' in his field, and specifics about his role aren't yet clear.

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, along with Coristine, have reportedly been given A-suite level clearance for their work, meaning they can work out of the firm's top floor with access to all physical spaces and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been rapidly growing in power and broadening its remit, most recently securing clearance to access to restricted parts of the General Services Administration buildings and IT systems.

The oldest of the lot is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (imagined), who while not determined as having top level clearance has currently proven he wields significant power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has actually been called for his role with DOGE, which is reportedly on a 'volunteer' basis at this phase.

After widespread criticism about the guys's youth, Musk launched a declaration about the visits. 'Time to confess: Media reports stating that DOGE has a few of world's best software engineers remain in truth true,' Musk composed on X.
