‘To err is human’: Elon Musk to rehire ex-DOGE staffer who resigned over racist posts

According to the Wall Street Journal, Elez resigned on Thursday after his racist social media posts resurfaced online. One of the posts, from his now-deleted account, had said, "Normalize Indian hate." Another read, "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

One of the posts of the former DOGE employee from July also read, "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool."

Notably, Musk, vice president JD Vance and President Donald Trump all called for Elez's return to his federal government job.
