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.
Looks like he’s trying to grow an Adolf moustache.
Along with a cringy edge-lord neckbeard.
how are some people still hypnotized to believe this man is a genius? GOD i will forever resent the media for glazing this man for 15 yrs and convincing the public that he’s anything more than a trust fund baby who could by companies and play pretend.

He bribed the IQ testers I swear
No can do, stinky Musky boy. First amendment explicitly protects criticism of government agencies and employees. Which is exactly what you’re claiming DOGE is.
The actual intention “free speech”, not what these idiots think it means.
Sounds like Katherine Long should sue the DOGE for infringing on her first amendment rights.
When it suits them, Musk is not a government employee. Also when it suits them, musk is a ‘special government employee’
She can try, but I expect the Trump admin is expecting to lean really hard on that thing where you need the permission of the federal government to sue the federal government.
The sooner someone Luigi’s him the better, if only for the fact we would never have to hear the fucker speak again.
The sooner someone Luigi’s him the better
I dunno. His kids are just going to inherit his wealth and feel entitled to have our kids serve them.
Think we need to take note of Luigi’s heritage if we’re truly going to go after these oligarchs; the Italian mob would also go after their families so there’s nobody left to seek revenge.
be careful reddit will ban you /s
So glad I left that censorship shithole.
I’m freeeeee now!
At least then his money will do something good in the hands of his family. That’s assuming he didn’t remove his children from his will.
What makes you think his children won’t be just as bad if not worse than him?
Let’s give them a chance, if they’re shit heads too they can get Luigi’d too.
I’m all for giving them a chance, but I won’t hold my breath.
Anybody can “demand” something. I am demanding the firing of the disgusting and cruel dumbass who runs the Department of Government Enshitification.
Get fucked Elon, you absolute piece of shit
you going to have to do better than that

He’s learned to whine just like Trump. What a skidmark.
Is there a Lemmy fednews? I’ve been lurking on reddit solely for this news, but noticed a distinct change in tone in the past few days, and I think they may be drowning in muskrats before too long.
Oh my, this is how you destroy and erode democracy ever faster. Dismantle the media and stop any criticism of the leaders, and reporting of true events.
I saw this in a country once who’s name is North Korea.
India also
So uncovering the disgusting cruelty of others is in itself Disgusting and Cruel? That’s just what a tyrant would say.
He really has gone from a wannabe Tony Stark to a wannabe Homelander hasn’t he?
You don’t get it, he HATES his trans daughter!
Dude thinks that “truth hurts” gives him the right to get rid of someone for hurting him with truth.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
What a punchable face.
Business idea: make boxing bags or dartboards with his faces printed on them.
Sell bottles of gasoline with a promotional t shirt that sports the print, ‘Not An Incindiary Device’.
