You may recall that the Wall Street Journal published an article about Marlo Elez, the 25-year-old whiz kid who made racist tweets, deleted them, then resigned after they went public. Elez is or was the senior member of the DOGE team that has been scooping up government records.

Musk conducted a poll on Twitter, asking whether the mildest member of his DOGE team should be rehired.

The original article is updated in the link.

The WSJ reported:

On Friday morning, Musk posted a poll to X, asking his followers if DOGE should rehire the “staffer who made inappropriate statements via a now deleted pseudonym.” Within hours, it had amassed more than 200,000 votes, almost 80% in favor of bringing Elez back.

Musk is likely to rehire Marko.

Some of Marlo’s tweets were extremely prejudicial towards Indians, because they get great jobs in Silicon Valley.

I wonder what JD Vance’s wife thinks of Elez. She is of Indian heritage. She is a graduate of Yale Law School, like Vance. I wonder if she likes the racist crowd he runs with.
