One of the two staffers for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency who was granted access to the U.S. Treasury’s sensitive payment system has quit his post after the White House was asked about his history of racist social media posts, including those supporting eugenics and repealing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Marko Elez, a 25-year-old programmer who was brought into government service by the world’s wealthiest man had a profile on Elon Musk’s social media site X featuring posts in which he said he supported a “eugenic immigration policy,” and made other racist statements. Eugenics supports “racial improvement” through “selective breeding” to improve the human race.
