Vice President JD Vance says Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency should rehire a staff member who resigned after he was linked to social media posts that espoused racism.

Earlier on Thursday, a federal judge approved Elez and another DOGE staff member to access the U.S. Treasury payment system.

UPDATE: Following reports that DOGE member Marko Elez resigned from his position (after racist posts from him on social media were unearthed), Vice President J.D. Vance called for him to be reinstated, downplaying the bigoted missives from Elez and saying that “stupid social media activity shouldn’t ruin a kid’s life.”
