In response to the disclosure, 19 attorneys general slammed “the rushed and chaotic nature of the Treasury DOGE Team onboarding process.”

Summary

A staffer for Elon Musk’s DOGE violated Treasury policy by emailing a spreadsheet containing personal information to other Trump administration officials without encryption or approval.

Marko Elez, who previously resigned over links to eugenics and racist social media content before being rehired, was found to have broken protocol during a forensic analysis prompted by a lawsuit from 19 state attorneys general.

A forensic analysis confirmed he failed to encrypt the data or get approval.

The incident has reinforced concerns about “rushed and chaotic” onboarding processes as DOGE seeks greater data access amid ongoing legal challenges.

    The tweets made by the account, under the handle @nullllptr,[13] included statements such as “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth” in June 2024 and “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool” in July 2024. In September 2024, shortly before the account’s deletion, it posted, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity” and “Normalize Indian hate.”

    Since the media loves to not demonstrate exactly what they said.

    The following day, Elon Musk initiated a poll on X asking users whether Elez should be rehired.[17][18] The majority of the 385,000 X users polled said that Elez should be rehired.[19] Musk stated that “to err is human, to forgive divine.”

    Or the stupid fucking garbage that Musk says at this point like he’s Jesus
