One of Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has actually resigned from his position after his links to racist social networks posts promoting eugenics were discovered. Marko Elez was one of 2 employees at the Department of Government Efficiency granted 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 actually resigned after The Wall Street Journal penetrated his links to the since-deleted social media account. According to the publication, the X account 'advocated rescinding the Civil Rights Act and backed a 'eugenic migration policy'.' Other posts allegedly read 'You might not pay me to wed beyond my ethnicity', 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, with a post that read: 'I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both rubbed out the face of the Earth.'

White House representative Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (envisioned) had resigned from his role. Elez graduated with a computer technology 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 request to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the very first hiccup for the nascent firm after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal organizations to eliminate waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and bytes-the-dust.com weeks, the court's decision on personal privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the information will be a significant test of their power to penetrate and erase government costs. Lawyers with the Justice Department consented to a motion that allows just two individuals connected with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - including income tax return and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with coworkers.

Those 2 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 manages all 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 process to veterinarian civil servants, and why we work with and promote them based upon benefit, not their individual relationship to some rich guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten great individuals who spent their careers serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He required everybody who was associated with employing Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'needs to be deleted' in its totality. Musk has faced criticism for his decision to work with a hand-picked group of young, college aged men to help him purge federal agencies and get rid of waste. This week, six men aged in between 19 and 25 were openly recognized as DOGE staff members.

At just 19, Edward Coristine (envisioned) is the youngest of the fresh-faced bunch taking on business America and longstanding federal government organizations. According to WIRED, he's been dubbed an 'professional' in his field, and specifics about his function aren't yet clear.

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, together with Coristine, have actually supposedly been granted A-suite level clearance for their work, indicating they can work out of the firm's top flooring with access to all physical spaces and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been rapidly growing in power and expanding its remit, most just recently securing clearance to access to limited 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 recognized as having top level clearance has actually currently shown he wields substantial power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has been called for his function with DOGE, which is reportedly on a 'volunteer' basis at this stage.

After widespread criticism about the males's youth, Musk launched a declaration about the consultations. 'Time to confess: Media reports stating that DOGE has some of world's best software application engineers remain in reality real,' Musk wrote on X.
