Some quotes to share:
If you are wondering from what neo-Nazi hate group those quotes come from the answer would be Elon Musk’s DOGE. They are the social media postings of a man named Marko Elez, who until this morning, was on Musk’s DOGE team rifling through Department of Treasury records, to include possibly your very own tax returns. Elez was one of two DOGE Teamers given access to all records at the Treasury Department.
Mr. Elez (for now) was removed from the team, however if Musk get his way, that may only be temporary. As appalling as these statements are, Elon Musk conducted a poll on Xitter as to whether Elez should be reinstated for mere “inappropriate statements via a now deleted pseudonym?” The poll concluded with nearly 80% of those following Musk supporting reinstatement. For those wondering whether Musk was entitled to any benefit of the doubt, maybe this helps put that Nazi salute in context.
Vice President Vance has weighed in declaring in an X-posting:
But there you have it. It is the official position of the Musk/Trump Administration that someone who openly brags about their racism should be in positions of trust in our government. This is the kind of person Musk/Trump/Vance want replacing current government employees.
Three days ago I called the office of our Representative, Daniel Webster, regarding this issue. Last night Representative Webster emailed me back assuring there were no worries because those working in DOGE at the Treasury Department were vetted. I called back today to make clear that assurance was demonstrably false.
A final note. This is personal. My daughter is married to an Indian/American who I regard as a wonderful son-in-law. It occurs to me that this openly racist Indian hater would have had access to their financial and tax records. Like I said, personal.
Update: Trump endorses returning the racist to his position.
Further Update: Musk directly states on X that the openly racist employee will be brought back.

Vice President Vance has weighed in declaring in an X-posting:
Vance, who has an Indian wife, couldn’t even find it within himself to condemn Elez’s anti-Indian hate, as it fell in the category of a mere disagreement. Vance supports someone he regards as a “kid” having this kind of power? In Vance’s world, what got Elez in trouble was not Elez saying these things, it was Wall Street Journal reporters accurately reporting that Elez said these things. The Bible says “the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32). Obviously, not a value shared by JD Vance.
