Musk’s DOGE Staffer Marko Elez Resigns After Racist Posts Exposed
So, here’s the latest controversy shaking up Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency—better known as DOGE. Marko Elez, a staffer on Musk’s team, has officially resigned after The Wall Street Journal uncovered racist and eugenics-promoting posts linked to him on social media. The resignation came quickly after the White House was questioned about it, making it clear that this was a situation they wanted to distance themselves from immediately.

Elez, who had been working within DOGE with access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system, was initially approved by a federal judge to handle sensitive government data—although with restrictions on sharing it. But as more details about his past social media activity surfaced, it became clear that he was a liability. One of his most shocking posts reportedly stated, "I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth." That kind of rhetoric, combined with other racist comments like "Normalize Indian hate," left no room for him to remain in a government position, especially under the public eye.
What makes this situation even more significant is the bigger picture surrounding DOGE. Elon Musk’s involvement in the government has been controversial from the start. President Trump brought him in to help slash federal spending and overhaul government efficiency, but many have criticized the lack of transparency in how DOGE operates. With Elez’s resignation, the scrutiny on Musk’s team is only going to intensify.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to downplay concerns, stating that DOGE is focused on cutting waste and improving government systems, not pushing any ideological agenda. But with an incident like this, it’s hard to ignore the potential risks of having unelected individuals with extreme views in influential positions.
The big question now is: What’s next for DOGE? And how will this resignation impact the broader conversation about Musk’s influence in the government? One thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of the controversy.
