Tschüs!

Musk to rehire Treasury DOGE staffer behind racist posts after Trump endorses idea Marko Elez was on the DOGE team formed by Elon Musk and tasked by President Donald Trump with cutting federal spending and reducing the government workforce.

Their words and actions are sending signals that it’s okay to be racist and support evil concepts like eugenics (which was one of the causes of the holocaust). This is wrong.

Elon Musk making the Nazi-like gesture after the inauguration.

Be objective, dispassionate. and draw your own conclusions. Elon Musk twice made a Nazi-like gesture during a speech after the inauguration. Musk is far too intelligent to not know how it would come across. Days later he showed support for the German far right AfD and extremism. Wake up and be wary.
