Summary
JD Vance called for the rehiring of Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer who resigned after The Wall Street Journal exposed his racist and eugenicist tweets.
Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.
Vance, while disagreeing with Elez’s posts, opposed “rewarding journalists who try to destroy people.”
Elez had access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system before resigning.
Interesting way to force people to keep using it. If you want to vote on these things you need an X account, but no sane, decent person is on X anymore so can’t influence the vote
