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.
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.
Space Karen.
What a fucking snowflake.
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 is correct though. he didnt bother climbing onto that throne not to use it. the silver lining is that he already showed himself incompetent.
he’s going full (kan)ye
The free speech absolutist at work
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?
Oh the little snowflake is feeling hurt…
Can we fire Musk… into the sun?
That’s a lot of ∆v, can we fire him out of the solar system instead?
We should fire him into an irretrievable orbit with enough food, water, and oxygen for months. Put cameras everywhere inside the capsule and live stream his descent into madness as he runs out of supplies.
One problem would be that he’d expire happy, because he was doing “cool exploration stuff”.
Perhaps it would be more environmentally friendly (which would upset him) if he was “retired” in a more traditional, boring, normal manner (which would upset him), on Earth.
He could then be composted and used to grow flowers, in some kind of “All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden” (which would upset him).
The amount of special K in his body would probably fuck up the flower garden
I don’t want to piss in the All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden tho :c
Man, now we’re debating hypothetical scenarios about how to best get rid of toddleresque billionaire mad kings?
It’s no small wonder “the left” in America has been taking daily losses the entire time I’ve been alive.
And risk him initiating alien first contact? How about sending him to Venus?
Just fire him, from orbit into the earth. Way more efficient
And risk him coming back to earth? Just aim for a vaguely circular solar orbit near the asteroid belt. He can pretend he’s on his way to mars forever.
I mean I’m fine with him coming back to earth, at a very high velocity
I vote for a collision with that car he launched into space.
There’s a Tesla in sun orbit. Why not sending him there?
We could try but he’s likely to explode if we use one of his rockets.
What did the sun do to deserve that?
Would be a better use of nasa resources
Musk is officially part of the government now, so this literally is an attack on free speech
Not that any conservative cares.
I mean, I think it’s specifically more targeted at freedom of the press, and the 1A really only prevents Congress from passing laws to limit free speech or the press. So while I agree with you 100% in principle, I don’t think what Musk is doing is illegal here, he’s just a fucking asshole.
MAGA has a fucking hardon for cruelty unless it’s directed at white men.
Turns out, racists don’t like being outed.
Elon should know.
Press freedom is a threat to
societyElon and must be stopped! Heil Elon!What a fucking moron. Why is no one stopping him.
You can’t lay a finger on an oligarch, so no one bothers.
Law: He’ll get pardoned, pre pardoned and whatever other bullshit he can think up.
Pitchforks: People have to unwillingly partake in the machine or the machine will crush their family. They can’t risk going up against the security detail of one of the richest people alive.
Marijuana: sorry that’s about as far as I can type for the night.
Main takeaway: That is a very good question that too few people will ask themselves before it affects them.
I thought the GOP didn’t like it when people get cancelled?
It’s always different when they perceive themselves as the victim.
And they’re always the victim.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Rules for thee but not for me
Nazis turn out to be self-serving unprincipled assholes. It’s really a surprise.
If only there was nearly a century of history behind us we could have drawn on to see this coming.
Yes, she’s the disgusting one, not the guy who was “racist before it was cool.”
And people still defend this Nazi.
And
peopleNazis still defend this Nazi. --FTFY
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.
