Marko Elez, a 25-year-old staffer with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency<\/a>, has resigned from his role after The Wall Street Journal<\/em> inquired over his ties to a social media account that advocated for a “eugenic immigration policy,” among other racist views, the outlet reported <\/a>Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elez was stationed at the Treasury Department, where he reportedly had direct access<\/a> to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the U.S. government<\/a>. Earlier Thursday a district court judge placed limits<\/a> on Elez’s and a fellow DOGE<\/a> staffer’s ability to share the sensitive Treasury data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elez also worked for Musk at SpaceX, Starlink, and X, according to the Journal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The X account, which was deleted in December, used the handle @nullllptr\u2014a misspelling of a keyword in the C++ programming language, the Journal <\/em>reported. <\/em>However, the account previously went by the username @marko_elez, according archived posts the outlet reviewed. The person using the @nullllptr account also described themselves as an employee at SpaceX and Starlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” @nullllptr posted over the summer, and in September: “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” The account also called for a rollback of the Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the\u00a0Journal’s<\/em>\u00a0reporting, journalist Edward Ongweso Jr.\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0on X: “Skull. Measuring. Freaks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
