Kevin Beaumont

Remember Marko Elez, who wrote the "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.", “Normalize Indian hate” etc tweets, got a job at DOGE, and got given “read only” access to US Treasury systems?

It turns out he was given read/write access in error and it only noticed a day later. There’s a forensics operation going with his former laptop now (he resigned) to see what he did with the access as he was unsupervised.
