Indian-Americans are protesting Elon Musk’s decision to rehire Marko Elez to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) despite his past racist remarks. Elez, who once posted "Normalize Indian hate," was defended by US Vice President JD Vance. Indian-American leaders, including Congressman Ro Khanna, condemned the move, demanding accountability. The controversy has fueled concerns about rising anti-Indian sentiment in the US, with reports of racial bullying. "This is what happens when Indian hate is normalized," said a protester. The backlash continues as Indian-Americans demand Elez’s apology and stronger action against racism.
