Biggest surprised-pika ever.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” @nullllptr tweeted on X in September, the Journal reported.

    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.

      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.
