Washington, United States:
Billionaire Elon Musk, Marko Elez, a former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), decided to rent again after an X -survey showed overwhelming public support. The CEO of Tesla asked users or Elez, who resigned about racist messages on social media, must be restored. The poll received 78 percent approval, as a result of which Musk announced the return of Elez and said, “Err is a person.”
The 25-year-old resigned on Thursday after his earlier posts had gone viral. One of his now deleted messages was: “normalize Indian Hate”, while another said, “You couldn’t pay me to get married outside of my ethnicity.” A message from July added: “Only for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”
Despite the return, Musk, vice -president JD Vance and President Donald Trump all supported Elez’s return to his position of the federal government.
Musk’s poll, formulated as: “Return doge employee who made inappropriate statements through a now removed pseudonym?” Saw an overwhelming 78 percent positive response, while only 22 percent voted against his repetition.

As part of Doge, Marko Elez had direct access to the payment systems of the American Treasury Department, Wired reported. These systems, including the Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS), treat social security payments, tax returns and other federal payouts – in the amount of more than $ 5.45 trillion in 2024.
Elez’s removed X account, @nullllPtrtr, previously operated under his name and made inflammatory functions for the withdrawal of the civil rights act and an “eugenetic immigration policy”. It also expressed hostility towards people from India in Silicon Valley and made controversial remarks about the middle and said: “Wouldn’t mind at all if Gaza and Israel both were wiped off the face of the earth.”
Marko Elez, graduated from Rutgers, previously worked at SpaceX, Starlink and X, aimed at AI. His recruitment was part of Elon Musk’s efforts to recruit young, Internet-Savvy loyalists, who has considerably changed the federal agencies since Trump’s inauguration.
