A former software engineer fired for racist social media posts is now working as a Labor Department aide detailed to multiple agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services. The engineer, Marko Elez, was rehired by Elon Musk's DOGE team and has access to sensitive systems related to child support orders, Medicare, and Medicaid payments. The details about Elez's work were revealed in court filings as part of a lawsuit alleging that the Musk-led group has been given unlawful access to private information in federal databases. Despite legal challenges, the administration has not disclosed all information about DOGE's operations and staff members.
