J.D. Vance, who is married to an Indian-American, posted this

The “kid” in question engaged in some youthful indiscretion in the distant past, aka, five months ago:

“Normalize Indian hate,” the account associated with Elez posted in September, regarding people of Indian ethnicity who work in the U.S. tech sector, the Journal reported.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote on X, according to the Journal.

Also too, if you’re a “kid,” maybe you shouldn’t be given carte blanche to monkey around with the US government’s most sensitive payment systems?

I wonder what Usha Vance thinks of all this.

Good job as always, Yale Law School.

Meanwhile:

Elon Musk appears to be considering reinstating a DOGE employee who resigned after being linked to a social media account that shared racist content and advocated for eugenics.

The billionaire set up a poll on his X account that asked users to vote on the question: “Bring back @DOGE staffer who made inappropriate statements via a now deleted pseudonym?” At the time of writing, the poll was at 78% yes and 22% no.

The statements Musk appears to be referring to include posts calling to normalize “Indian hate,” one suggesting Gaza and Israel be “wiped off the face of the Earth,” and another that said: “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”

The now-deleted account was linked to 25-year-old DOGE employee Marko Elez in a Wall Street Journal report. The White House later confirmed to multiple outlets Elez had resigned in the wake of the revelation.

According to the outlet’s review of archived social media posts, Elez posted on X in July: “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.

So were a lot of people it turns out.
