The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Elon Musk says DOGE staffer who resigned for racist X posts will be brought back

What? What??

OMG, this party is corrupt to the core.

"To err is human, to forgive divine," Musk said in a repost to X of a post from Vice President JD Vance that also supported the staffer's reinstatement.

The staff member, 25-year-old Marko Elez, resigned from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported that he had made comments online that included supporting racism and eugenics. The White House confirmed to NBC News that Elez had resigned.

Earlier Friday, Vance said that he would support Elez's rehiring.

Vance made the comments on X, reposting a poll from DOGE head Elon Musk asking if the staff member should be brought back.

“I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life,” Vance wrote. “We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever.”

“So I say bring him back,” Vance continued. “If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.”

President Donald Trump, when asked about Vance’s response during a news conference, said, “I’m with the vice president.”


He IS a bad dude! WTF is wrong with you people.

If the shoe was on the other foot, imagine the screams/howls of hatred and anger that would be directed at the left. There is a terrible sickness in the party formerly known as Republican.
