A 25-year-old DOGE staffer who a federal judge ruled could continue to access U.S. Treasury payment systems on Thursday morning was gone by the end of the day after his racist posts to X emerged.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has wrested control of the federal government from career civil servants in the early days of Donald Trump's second term. Marko Elez was a "special government employee" embedded at the Treasury as a part of DOGE. The federal funding slashing wunderkind and Musk lackey didn't account for his bigoted social media posts being uncovered by the Wall Street Journal, however.

Was it his support for eugenic immigration policies for racial improvement or his flat out racism that cause him to resign? Maybe it was just too early in the coup?

Wow.
This gets worse and worse.
There are now 3 "DOGE" "Muskies" that in no way shape or form would pass a security check. Hackers, Russian ties, unbelievable stuff! HOLY SHHT!
And we're being told how outstanding and professional they are - and how they're going to overhaul the FAA systems next? WHAT?

And we were lied to, or Trump's new cabinet member didn't have a clue when he said they only had "read-only" access? Nope, they have full ADMIN accounts!

WTF?
Seriously - WTF??
