Summary
JD Vance defended Marko Elez, a 25-year-old Musk aide after racist posts surfaced, including “Normalize Indian hate.”
Elez resigned but was reinstated following Vance’s support, despite Vance’s wife being of Indian descent. Vance dismissed criticism, arguing past social media posts shouldn’t 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 Musk’s hiring practices and Vance’s stance on racism.
Right. So if I have he/him in my email signature I get fired. But if i have hugely racist and problematic tweets that are less than a year old while having almost no experience or credentials whatsoever other than being a little buddy buddy with Musk I get to push out dangerous untested code to the most important payment system in the country so musk can block social security benefits for Grandma like he blocks tweets talking about how terrible a father he is. Got it.
Now you’re gettin it!
why would leopards eat his face?
Didn’t say hate couches
Does Vance love couches more than his wife?
Well, it’s obvious this man just hates his wife.

She probably agrees with him. These people are all scumbags.
Some insight from across the pond:
Our last Prime Minister was a British Indian from the Conservative party. Recent right wing and far-right members of cabinet have included many more Brits of Indian descent, including two of the most heinously anti-immigrant cabinet members we’ve ever had. One of them, Suella Braverman, ran for party leadership on an anti-immigrant platform, pointing out that Indians are the largest group who overstay their visas in the UK.
I think very similar things can explain why Usha Vance, Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy and the like can align with an openly racist MAGA crowd:
-
Class matters more than race. Most of these people grew up privileged and don’t identify with the common immigrant or brown person’s experson
-
Power hungry people come from all backgrounds and will do whatever they need to get what they want (in Usha Vance’s case that’s being first lady one day)
-
Submitting to model minority status, as many well-to-do immigrant families from South Asia do, means implicitly accepting, and ultimately reflecting, white supremacist values
And as with all issues rooted in history, you can blame the British for some of this. A white supremacist world view where Indians stand above the darker races was introduced to India by the British over a century ago. The British wanted East Africa to become “the America of the Hindu” so they educated and trained a generation of Indian colonial administrators and enforcers. This world view of Indians as superior to others, if subordinate to whites, did not disappear with colonialism. A lot of the people who held those views came directly to Britain and their children became right-wing voters and politicians. The connection with the US is less of a straight line, but you can hear it when you listen to Vivek talk about African-Americans, for example.
I think you’re pretty spot on. Nicely said.

Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. She’s such a good mom. She’s such a brilliant lawyer and I am so proud of her.
Listen, she’s one of the good ones.
Yeah, bet she’s feeling really loved right now.
His Indian kids are reaching that age when they either realize he’s a hateful insufferable piece of shit, OR they themselves become spoiled rich assholes with no moral compass and live off the griff.
is it really cucking if he fucks the cuck chair instead of watching
I thought that it was the Cuck Couch?
He’s an equal opportunity furniture cucker.
Looks like someone is sleeping on the couch.
Nah, she knows that would be a reward not a punishment lmao
^ Came here to say this.
🤣
🛋️ 💦 🍆

onwith the couchNah, she knew what she married.
She’s on board with this. She’s as racist as he is. Until she becomes the “wrong kind of brown person,” and I hope it’s too late for her at that point.
Wrong preposition lol
These fuckers don’t have a concept of honour.
Oh he was “dragged”? Like, across the floor?
My sisters just like her, I promise you, shes on his side hating indians, self haters fr.
It’s a class war, Peter Theil is gay, JD Vance is married to an Indian woman, and Elon Musk is an immigrant. The rich aren’t racists, homophobic or nativist, or any of that. The only demographic they hate is poor people.
Truth.
Elon musk is a white immigrant, and they are cool with white refugees, per the executive order to prioritize getting white South Africans in.
Multiple of these people have had their wives insulted by the movement, but at the end of the day even if they are their wives, they are “just women” so no big deal for them.
You mean the only demographic they love is money, power, and themselves
It’s fine, it’s not like he’s going to be disappointed if she makes him sleep on the couch.
Goddamn it. Take my upvote and leave.
Public poll online… lol. You can buy likes, followers and poll votes at the drop of a hat. Even easier if you happen to run a certain network…
Vance is gonna destroy that settee in the den tonight. For a whole 20 seconds.
