- Vice President JD Vance called for the rehiring of a DOGE staffer who resigned from a sensitive Trump administration post over the exposure of tweets advocating for racism and eugenics.
- President Donald Trump later endorsed Vance’s recommendation.
- Vance gave his view in a reply to a poll that DOGE chief Elon Musk launched on his social media platform X asking users if the staffer, Marko Elez, should be rehired.
Elon Musk said Friday he will rehire a DOGE staffer who resigned from a Treasury Department post after the exposure of his tweets advocating for racism and eugenics.
Musk’s announcement on his social media platform X came after Vice President JD Vance urged Musk to hire the staffer back and President Donald Trump endorsed the view.
“He will be brought back,” Musk, the head of DOGE, wrote on X in response to Vance’s recommendation.
“To err is human, to forgive divine,” Musk wrote.
