A young Department of Government Efficiency staffer, Marko Elez, resigned after his racist social media remarks surfaced. CEO Elon Musk proposed bringing him back via a poll on X, where 78% of over 385,000 voters favored his return. Elez had previously used a now-deleted account to express controversial views, including admiration for eugenics and derogatory comments about various ethnicities. Despite the backlash, Vice President JD Vance suggested Elez could deserve a second chance, adding fuel to the ongoing debate about accountability and redemption in politics.
Ever the civil servant, the self-styled 'First Buddy' floated the idea via a poll on X - his favored institution of democratic governance.
Elez, a Rutgers alum and computer science major, used a recently-deleted X account to boast about his racist beliefs and advocate for eugenics.
I obviously disagree with some of Elez's posts, but that doesn’t mean he should not be allowed a chance to redeem himself.
With over 385,000 votes cast, 78 percent answered, 'Yes.'
