These posts weren’t made in his title, however a pseudonym account which was suspended in December final 12 months when Elez began to work for DOGE.
This snowballed into a significant controversy as little was recognized about DOGE to date however now that they began visiting federal companies, bureaucrats claimed that they’re principally kids with questionable background and no eligibility to query federal staff. They’re all “tech youngsters” who dropped out of school.

My youngsters, god prepared, might be threat takers. They will not assume consistently about whether or not a flippant remark or a incorrect viewpoint will observe them round for the remainder of their lives. They are going to inform silly jokes. They are going to develop views that they later assume are incorrect and even gross. I made errors as a child, and thank God I grew up in a tradition that inspired me to develop and be taught and really feel regret once I screwed up and supply grace when others did,” Vance wrote.
Ro Khanna replied that he was solely doing an trade of concepts.
