Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

He's resigning because it's caused social shame among people that matter to him, not because this actually affects his job or anything.

If he had no shame like the rest of the ghouls he'd have stayed on. The most effective ghouls just ride this shit out and it doesn't harm them one bit.

They have no problem with his racism and sexism. It's his criticisms of Israel that got him canned.

it would be supremely funny if elon musk died in the exact same way as mitch mconnell's sister-in-law

I'm hoping for another mishap like that "submarine", but he's in one of his rockets.

Thought this was a requirement.

Lol why would they quit for answering interview questions correctly?

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 58 points 20 hours ago

He resigned because he knew Musk was mad at him for not using enough slurs

You have committed a crime.

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

Wait. Isn't this DOGE dick the same one from this a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶?̶ -̶-̶> h̶t̶t̶p̶s̶:̶//h̶e̶x̶b̶e̶a̶r̶.n̶e̶t̶/p̶o̶s̶t̶/4̶4̶3̶2̶0̶0̶4̶ comment? --> https://hexbear.net/comment/5888447

FOLLOW UP: Here is another article about both the dick's resignation and code pushing: https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/07/doge_staffer_twitter/

Elez's resignation came the same day a federal judge issued a temporary order allowing Elez controversial read-only access to a vital, central US Treasury payment system. The court order limited this access to two DOGE aides, Elez and Cloud Software Group CEO Tom Krause.

This followed earlier reports that Elez at least had been given powerful administrator-level read-write access. This reportedly allowed him to modify code within the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System at the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles a significant portion of federal disbursements.

If this becomes a trend DOGE might cease to exist by the end of the week.
