DOGE’s other staffers also include interns at his companies and a young man who goes by “Big Balls” online — so who knows what other juicy details will soon come to light about Musk’s other bratty minions.
Stayed tune, I guess!

Elez was behind a deleted profile that backed a “eugenic immigration policy” and argued that “you could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”

“99 percent of Indian H1B [visas] will be replaced by slightly smarter [large language models], they’re going back don’t worry guys.”
…
“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,”
…
All we can do at this point is speculate, but it’s certainly a noteworthy departure. Elez had obtained direct access to the entire government’s payment system. As Wired reported earlier this week, Elez also gave himself both read and write privileges, allowing him to push untested changes to the payment system.

The staffer who resigned was embedded at the Treasury Department to carry out efficiency measures.
No. No he wasn’t. Stop taking them at their word. Those aren’t efficiency measures

One of the many reasons why Musk despises regs, laws, and rules. Who knows how far the British can stick their big British fist into Musk’s face on this one; per wiki, the UK is responsible for the islands’ defense and international affairs.

I doubt Musk’s lieutenants are as physically well protected as he is. Just an observation, Universe.

I’m guessing his family was all in on the Croatian fascist ideology that drove lots of the Croatian side of the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia… I bet his family are from Bosnia, in fact. Stupid fucking asshole.

My niece’s fiance is Croatian, and he has cousins who have left Canada because of the diversity and gone back to Croatia. To his credit, the fiance was fairly appalled by his cousins’ viewpoint.

Not really surprised by that… Serb nationalism gets all the attention, but Croatian nationalism was/is just as nasty and historically aligned with nazism…
Also… this is about Serbian nationalism, but it involves Canada and Yugoslav nationals living in Canada in the 70s… Do you know about the bombings by Serb nationalists in the 70s in Canada and the US? It relates to that… the artwork is incredibly…

People who work that many hours make tons of mistakes and terrible decisions.
Which I guess is what he’s looking for.

I think that’s an acceptable consequence as long as he proves to the world that he’s the smartest, most hardcore, edgiest edgelord of all time. The planet and everyone on it can fucking burn as long as he proves that.
