The main point isn’t that one of the DOGE Youth running rampant through federal government computer systems turned out to be a proud racist who promotes eugenics and promises to send natives of India back to their country after revoking their H1B visas.

“They’re going back. Don’t worry, guys.” — Marko Elez

I’m not concerned that Marko Elez couldn’t be paid enough to marry outside of his ethnicity. Parents of people of color are breathing a sigh of relief they won’t have to welcome Elez into their families.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” — Marko Elez

It’s worrisome that Elon Musk and all his DOGE Youth have been given special government employee status, allowing them to avoid security clearances and background checks. We might have known more about Elez’s racist comments and his fellow DOGE Youth like Edward Coristine (Big Balls). Coristine is a 19-year-old high school graduate who once worked alongside convicted hackers and advertised his services to conduct cyberattacks for hire.
