Summary
Elon Musk called for the firing of Wall Street Journal reporter Katherine Long after she exposed racist tweets from Marko Elez, a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee who later resigned.
Long’s report revealed Elez had posted remarks promoting racism and eugenics.
“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” Elez posted in July, according to the Journal’s review of archived posts.
Musk, who claims to support free speech, labeled Long “disgusting and cruel” and demanded that she should be fired.
Critics noted the hypocrisy of Musk advocating for a journalist’s removal over accurate reporting on a public official’s misconduct.
What a punchable face.
🎯 face
Trump doesn’t mind Elon being the president in the press, because they convinced him this time around that he’s the fully insulated mob boss. Layers of others around him getting their hands dirty, so he claims “oh, I didn’t know that. That’s bad, you should probably arrest whoever did that crime”.
That is if our systems survive them flooding the zone with bullshit and making weak attempts to dismantle them.
Hopefully the outcome of the French investigation will be an international arrest warrant.
eh, can see how those are working great for the powerful people (examples: putin, bibi, the libya guy)
Free speech for Musk means Musk gets to decide what people are allowed to say.
He needs the full mussolini treatment
The full Luigi treatment
My Chrystal ball says that Elon keeps realizing agenda 2025 until the resistance within their own ranks becomes unbearable. While Elon makes news Trump makes legislation to fuck over whoever he can. Only then, goat Elon gets scaped by savior Donald to appease Maga and everything is in shambles.
My money is on Vance removing Trump via the 25th amendment in spring of 2027, then firing Musk.
Why would he fire Musk?
Space Karen.
What a fucking snowflake.
zero chance that dude resigned because of those tweets…
He realized how far over his head he was, and rather than admitting that to his overlord musk, he takes this lucky break, whines about harassment, and resigned.
when i saw the pictures the first thing that came to mind was how fucking terrified some of these kids might be. imagine just coming out of school and being appointed to be one of the main analysts for an oversight department to your favorite dictator in a major world power.
then getting access granted to major, and i say major, governmental systems with the expectation you fix it along with a handful of other kids with absolutely no prior experience doing it?
I have no sympathy for any of them, and neither should anyone else. The choices they have made will result in the suffering of millions. Whatever fate they ultimately meet will proportionally be infinitely merciful by comparison. They do not get some special dispensation for being naive.
It is possible to be both immature and abjectly evil. That is, most likely why Musk picked these young men. They have the hallmarks of sociopathic tendencies with the inexperience to be led into a fucking minefield. Here is hoping they trigger some explosions that don’t take a billion of us with them.
He may be an actual villain.
I suspect think he’s consciously chosen to be a villain because he’s er seen it gets him more power, money, and notoriety than the techno savior thing he tried first. Or maybe he’s been planning this story arc for years.
He seems broken in the right sorts of ways to see life as an actual game of genetics, resources, and popularity.
Musk has ruined the reputation of the Shiba Inu. Thanks, you jackass.
He is really, REALLY becoming fucking absolutely unhinged VERY fast. He is trying to suppress any form of overlook VERY fast and very aggressively. He hasn’t acted like this before. While it is expected, he needs to be told that he can go to hell.
What I fear is that he won’t be asking for people to be fired, he will be soon asking for arrests and I am very, VERY confident he will brazenly calling for hits on people very openly.
always has been, he is the son of a slaver in apartheid SA and iirc grandson of a nazi. of course he is racist too.
now that he is the literal dictator of the biggest empire in the world, i don’t think he needs to worry about softening it anymore. its logical that fascism will serve him judging from the… gestures hes been making. or the casual fascist shit hes been saying for years at this point.
i think your hunch about killing people is correct though. he didnt bother climbing onto that throne not to use it.
he’s going full (kan)ye
The free speech absolutist at work
MAGA has a fucking hardon for cruelty unless it’s directed at white men.
3yrs ago, I was 39, if you found a racist tweet from 3 yrs ago, I should be responsible, who cares if 3 yrs ago the kid was in diapers and shouldn’t have had access to the internet, that is likely a good enough reason they should never have been allowed near government systems. Wtf did Elon do, walk into a highschool graduation like “you boys wanna see the inside of the government?”
A short while ago (like less than a month) he asked for people who are willing to work for no pay and are super diligent. What he was looking for were people who were rich enough to not need to be paid (their families anyway) and at the same time were his complete and absolute simps and will do ANYTHING for him and to prove their worth to the guy.
All of his young cronies need to be arrested and given at least a mandatory minimum of 20 years and a lifetime prohibition on using computers.
For no pay??? Lmaooo, bunch of fuckin’ Pick Me’s
Hah. You think it’s no pay. They went after OPM and the Treasury first for a reason.
