Member of Elon Musk's DOGE team resigns after racist posts resurface

A staffer connected to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency
resigned on Thursday after now-deleted racist social media posts were
resurfaced.

The resignation was confirmed by a White House official who was not
authorized to speak publicly.

Marko Elez, a 25-year-old software engineer, was working inside the
Treasury Department to cut costs and root out fraud, as part of Musk's
DOGE effort. Elez was one of two temporary appointees at Treasury
connected to DOGE who have been granted access to a highly sensitive
Treasury system that processes trillions of dollars in payments every
year.

The Wall Street Journal reported on a number of 2024 posts from an
account connected to Elez on Musk's X platform and noted that White
House officials confirmed his resignation after the paper pointed out
Elez's activity on the social media site.

"You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," the account
wrote in September. "Normalize Indian hate," a separate post from that
month read.

In July of last year, the account posted: "Just for the record, I was
racist before it was cool."
