Summary
JD Vance called for the rehiring of Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer who resigned after The Wall Street Journal exposed his racist and eugenicist tweets.
Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.
Vance, while disagreeing with Elez’s posts, opposed “rewarding journalists who try to destroy people.”
Elez had access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system before resigning.
And what they said RECENTLY too. They were not dredging up tweets from 40 years ago. If memory serves these tweets were within the year.
In September!!!
To be fair it’s hard to have old social media posts when you’re still drinking milk.
