Summary
JD Vance defended Marko Elez, a 25-year-old Musk aide after racist posts surfaced, including āNormalize Indian hate.ā
Elez resigned but was reinstated following Vanceās support, despite Vanceās wife being of Indian descent. Vance dismissed criticism, arguing past social media posts shouldnāt ruin careers.
Musk backed Elez after a public poll. Rep. Ro Khanna challenged Vance, who responded dismissively, sparking backlash.
The incident has intensified scrutiny of Muskās hiring practices and Vanceās stance on racism.
Vanceās mental gymnastics are Olympic-tier. Defending a Musk aide who posted āNormalize Indian hateā while married to an Indian woman? Unreal. The manās moral compass isnāt brokenāitās been sold to the highest bidder.
Elezās reinstatement is a joke. Racist posts arenāt youthful indiscretions; theyāre neon signs of character. But Muskās Twitter poll governance strikes again, proving that bigotry is just another day at the office for his empire of chaos.
Ro Khannaās right to call him out. Vanceās dismissal isnāt just cowardiceāitās complicity. If your principles canāt withstand a paycheck or a poll, you donāt have any to begin with.
