Among Elon Musk's trusted DOGE staffers has resigned from his position after his links to racist social media posts promoting eugenics were discovered. Marko Elez was one of two employees at the Department of Government Efficiency approved 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 penetrated his links to the since-deleted social networks account. According to the publication, classicrock.awardspace.biz the X account 'advocated reversing the Civil liberty Act and backed a 'eugenic migration policy'.' Other posts presumably check out 'You might not pay me to marry outside of 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 checked out: 'I would incline at all if Gaza and Israel were both rubbed out the face of the Earth.'

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Elez (visualized) had actually resigned from his function. Elez graduated 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 last-ditch court demand to limit DOGE's access to Treasury's $5trillion system - the first misstep for the nascent firm after weeks of ruthlessly purging federal organizations to remove waste and overspending.

Over the coming days and weeks, the court's choice on privacy issues about DOGE's access to the information will be a significant test of their power to penetrate and eliminate federal government spending. Lawyers with the Justice Department agreed to a movement that permits just 2 associated with Musk 'read-only' access to the system - including tax returns and social security numbers - on the condition that they do not share what they find with colleagues.

Those two staff members are Musk disciples Tom Krause and Elez. Virginia Congressman Don Beyer explained Elez' resignation as 'a scandal.' 'Elon Musk provided a self-described 'racist' and eugenicist access to a system that manages all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury,' he said. 'That system also contains the personal details consisting of Social Security details of every American. This is why we have a procedure to vet civil servants, and why we work with and promote them based upon merit, not their personal relationship to some abundant guy. How attempt Elon Musk bully and threaten excellent individuals who invested their professions serving the American individuals when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work.'

He demanded everyone who was included in hiring Elez be 'fired' and said DOGE 'ought to be erased' in its entirety. Musk has faced criticism for his choice to employ a hand-picked team of young, college aged guys to assist him purge federal agencies and get rid of waste. Today, six guys aged in between 19 and 25 were publicly recognized as DOGE staff members.

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

Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, together with Coristine, have apparently been granted A-suite level clearance for their work, indicating they can work out of the company's top floor with access to all physical areas and IT systems. Musk's DOGE has been quickly growing in power and broadening its remit, most just recently protecting clearance to access to restricted parts of the General Services Administration structures and IT systems.

The oldest of the lot is 25-year-old Berkeley graduate Gavin Kliger (pictured), who while not identified as having leading level clearance has actually currently proven he wields considerable 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 widespread criticism about the guys's youth, Musk launched a declaration about the consultations. 'Time to admit: Media reports saying that DOGE has a few of world's best software engineers remain in reality true,' Musk composed on X.
