DOGE employee Marko Elez resigned after the Wall Street Journal connected him to a deleted account containing racist posts on social media site X.

One of Elon Musk’s 25-year-old DOGE staffers resigned after his racist posts came to light. But Trump, JD Vance, and Musk all agreed he should be rehired.

Elon Musk has said he will rehire an employee of his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) who resigned after being linked to a racist social media account. "He will be brought back," Musk posted on X, the social media platform he owns. "To err is human, to forgive divine."
