One of Elon Musk's relied on DOGE staffers has actually resigned from his position after his links to racist social media posts promoting eugenics were discovered. Marko Elez was one of two workers 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 trusted 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 'promoted reversing the Civil Rights Act and backed a 'eugenic migration policy'.' Other posts presumably read 'You could not pay me to marry beyond my ethnicity', and 'stabilize Indian hate.' Another supposedly read: sitiosecuador.com '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 checked out: 'I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.'

White House representative Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (imagined) had actually 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 gratisafhalen.be X, with a focus predominately in AI. It comes after a last-ditch court request to restrict DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the very first hiccup for the nascent agency after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal institutions to eliminate waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's decision on privacy concerns about DOGE's access to the information will be a monumental test of their power to penetrate and eliminate government spending. Lawyers with the Justice Department accepted a movement that allows just 2 individuals connected with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - consisting of tax returns and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with associates.

Those 2 employees 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 financial payments from the U.S. Treasury,' he said. 'That system likewise contains the individual details including Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a process to veterinarian civil servants, and why we employ and promote them based upon benefit, not their personal relationship to some rich guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten great people who their careers serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He demanded everyone who was associated with hiring Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'needs to be deleted' in its entirety. Musk has dealt with criticism for his choice to hire a hand-picked team of young, college aged males to assist him purge federal firms and eliminate waste. This week, 6 males aged in between 19 and 25 were openly determined as DOGE staff members.

At just 19, Edward Coristine (imagined) is the youngest of the fresh-faced lot taking on corporate America and longstanding government institutions. According to WIRED, he's been called an 'professional' 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 actually supposedly been granted A-suite level clearance for their work, meaning they can work out of the agency's top flooring with access to all physical areas and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been quickly growing in power and expanding its remit, most recently protecting clearance to access to restricted parts of the General Services Administration buildings and IT systems.

The oldest of the bunch is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (pictured), who while not recognized as having leading level clearance has actually already shown he wields substantial power. Finally, Gautier Cole Killian has actually been called for his function with DOGE, which is apparently on a 'volunteer' basis at this stage.

After extensive criticism about the males's youth, Musk launched a statement about the visits. 'Time to admit: Media reports stating that DOGE has some of world's finest software application engineers remain in truth true,' Musk wrote on X.
