Elon's army is falling apart: DOGE staffer resigns after racist posts uncovered

Salon  

A 25-year-old DOGE staffer who a federal judge ruled could continue to access U.S. Treasury payment systems on Thursday morning was gone by the end of the day after his racist posts to X emerged. Just hours before his reported resignation, Elez, along with Tom Krause, chief executive of Cloud Software Group Inc., was cleared by a judge to retain “read-only” access to sensitive payment systems at the Treasury Department. Prior to Elez's resignation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed Elez and Krause were “highly trained professionals” and not “some roving band running around doing things” in an interview with Bloomberg published on Thursday. One intelligence analyst told Wired that there was “little chance that could have passed a background check for privileged access to government systems.” House Democrat Don Beyer of Virginia said in a Thursday night press release that Elez’s firing was proof of the dangers DOGE posed to government services.
