A Wall Street Journal reporter outed the racist tweets of a DOGE team member yesterday, causing that person to resign from the organization.

CNBC has the news:

A staff member on the Department of Government Efficiency advisory group led by tech billionaire Elon Musk resigned Thursday after The Wall Street Journal asked the White House about his connection to a social media account that advocated for racism and eugenics.

The DOGE staffer, Marko Elez, earlier in the day had been approved by a federal judge along with another DOGE staff member to have access to the payment system at the U.S. Treasury, but the judge restricted his ability to share data from the system.

The Journal said it had established links between 25-year-old Elez and a social media account on Musk’s platform, X, that was deleted in December.

“The deleted @nullllptr account previously went by the username @marko_elez, a review of archived posts shows,” the Journal reported. “The user behind the @nullllptr also described themselves as an employee at SpaceX and Starlink, where Elez has worked, according to archives of Elez’s personal website.”

Musk is playing a major role in efforts by President Donald Trump to slash federal government spending and employee head count. Elez had been designated as a special government employee.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” @nullllptr tweeted on X in September, the Journal reported.

″‘Normalize Indian hate,’ the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley,” the Journal wrote.

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” the account posted in July, according to the newspaper.

In June, the account tweeted, “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told the Journal that Elez resigned after the Journal inquired about the account.

A White House official confirmed Elez’s resignation to CNBC.

Some on X have begun digging into the background of this WSJ reporter, Katherine Long, and pointed out that she started her career in the state department and then worked at USAID in Tajikistan for 7 months. She’s also worked for several big garbage media news outlets:

 
Long is publically calling for people to contact her if they know other DOGE employees or more about the group:
