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.

      FYI, “the Ukraine” was the label Russians (and Risk) used for the region. It’s just Ukraine now.

      Do you get royalties every time you say this or something? You’ve had an account for ~3 days and you’ve already used variations of that phrase at least 8 times. I’m not attacking the sentiment, it just feels forced and isn’t a particularly witty comment worthy of that much repetition.

        Definitely no royalties! Just stating the obvious. I thought there would be more of a bang, but nope. You dont have to like it. I dont agree with everything I read online, but that is the great thing about our current lives is that we have the ability to disagree. I just hope it stays that way
