Elon Musk made an announcement on Friday to bring back Marko Elez as the 25-year-old employee of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who resigned on Thursday from his job after facing accusations regarding his racist social media history. Due to public appeals from JD Vance and Donald Trump Elez won his job reinstatement as an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Wall Street Journal disclosed Elez as the X (formerly Twitter) account owner through his offensive posts including “I was racist before it was cool” and “Normalize Indian hate” which led him to resign as DOGE department employee. The Vice President Vance’s wife Usha Vance drew special attention when she learned about the racist online post due to her status as his spouse because she was born in India to foreign parents.
The vice president argued on X that no matter how much he disagreed with Elez’s posts they should not end his young life. Trump expressed his agreement with the vice president during his interview with reporters. The CEO then declared that Elez would return to work. It is natural for humans to make errors but divine power alone can grant forgiveness. 
The White House officials remain non-committal about reemploying Elez. Previously the office confirmed his departure from the job. Elez worked at SpaceX and Starlink before this matter erupted but has made no statement about the controversy.
The controversy emerged when the U.S. Treasury payment system became accessible to two DOGE staff members which started a legal dispute. The matter of hiring Elez has attracted criticism about the implications but defenders state it shows the organization’s willingness to forgive employees who make mistakes. The controversy persists because the government administration receives mounting pressure to correct the aftermath of this situation.
