DOGE v. Treasury Department
🔴 UPDATE: February 8, 2025
In a shocking reversal, Marko Elez—the 25-year-old software engineer who previously resigned from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after his racist and pro-eugenics social media posts surfaced—has been reinstated to his position overseeing Treasury systems.
Elon Musk announced the decision after conducting a poll on X (formerly Twitter), where nearly 78% of respondents supported Elez's return. Vice President JD Vance publicly endorsed the move, emphasizing the importance of "second chances" and dismissing concerns about Elez’s extremist views. President Trump echoed their sentiments, signaling full support from the administration.
But while the administration is eager to extend “second chances” to a fascist technocrat like Elez, they show no such leniency toward the FBI agents who investigated the January 6 insurrection. The very same officials preaching forgiveness are still relentlessly pursuing those who upheld the rule of law during one of the darkest days in American democracy. So much for second chances.
Despite Elez's lack of government experience—and his unauthorized modifications to Treasury’s Secure Payment Systems before his resignation—DOGE has placed him back in a position with access to sensitive federal financial infrastructure. This move comes just days after a federal judge ordered DOGE to destroy data collected from Treasury systems, raising fresh alarms about the administration’s reckless disregard for national security and ethical governance.
Critics warn that reinstating Elez not only undermines accountability but also signals a disturbing normalization of extremist views within the highest levels of government. “Giving Musk's goon squad access to systems controlling Social Security, Medicare, and other key federal programs is a national security nightmare,” said Senator Ron Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
