2:04Now PlayingMarko Elez, a key staffer on Elon Musk’s federal cost-cutting initiative, resigned after past racist posts from his social media accounts resurfaced.
The resignation came after The Wall Street Journal and NPR reported on posts advocating racism, eugenics, and hostility toward Indian software engineers, which had been archived before the account was deleted.
Elez, who worked inside the Treasury Department as part of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was linked to a now-deleted X account that made multiple racist and inflammatory statements. The Wall Street Journal reviewed archived posts from the account, including:
"Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool." (July 2024)
"You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." (September 2024)
"Normalize Indian hate." (September 2024)
"99% of Indian H1Bs will be replaced by slightly smarter LLMs, they’re going back don’t worry guys." (December 2024)
"I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth." (June 2024)
