Summary

JD Vance called for the rehiring of Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer who resigned after The Wall Street Journal exposed his racist and eugenicist tweets.

Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.

Vance, while disagreeing with Elez’s posts, opposed “rewarding journalists who try to destroy people.”

Elez had access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system before resigning.

      ROFL!

      The couch was underaged?

      I have to take a moment to say- I love when people go the extra mile to push what would have been a funny comment into a much better and hysterically funny one.

      It’s like in the show Community, when Pierce got injured, instead of saying: “Call an ambulance!” he said, “Call all the ambulances!”

      Maybe it’s just me, but I notice that stuff and always wonder how in the hell the writers thought to add that extra bit in?

      Well done!
