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.
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!
Oh no I know, and he hates me because he believes in a version of his daughter who is a gay fashion-loving stereotype who is Musk’s token “Queen” friend, and instead of realizing this person never existed even prior to transition, he’s blaming people like me for taking her from him.
