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.
Itās so sad because if you look at their resumes, Usha Vance is actually much more accomplished than her husband. Peter Thiel just prefers JD, I guess.
Probably because of the penis.
