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.
Dude thinks that “truth hurts” gives him the right to get rid of someone for hurting him with truth.
Get fucked Elon, you absolute piece of shit
you going to have to do better than that
Leon hitler would like the USA to turn into Russia, China and the former Apartheid South Africa. Fuck him and the MAGAts.
Mald harder, Elon. We will not be ruled by your little band of incels.
Only if we are allowed to fire everybody who is disgusting and cruel.
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.
Funny, I thought HE was disgusting and cruel, but the rest of us can’t bully people using money and illegal threats.
It’s soon illegal to not be racistin america.
Off topic, but Racistin is a cool name for a dnd character.
It’s a medication for racists
He’s an elf who hates his half-elf siblings.
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’.
🎯 face
Free speech for Musk means Musk gets to decide what people are allowed to say.
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)
I’m not talking about an ICC warrant against a sitting president.

Too quick. Gaddafi treatment please
What a fucking snowflake.
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.
Disagree, the asswipe Vance defended Elez and his racist comments about Indians. WTF, Vance’s wife is Indian and his kids are half.
Why would he fire Musk?
So he can be the guy who saved America. If he keeps his head down and looks like the sane one while Trump and Musk go full Nazi and he removes them from power, he’ll have an insanely high approval rating, even if he doesn’t roll back anything they did. He’d probably win the 2028 election in a landslide, and since he’d have served just under half of Trump’s term he’d be eligible for re-election in 2032.
I can see the Trump removal scenario.
For Vance to get rid of Musk he needs to both
A) Disagree with Musk’s actions and philosophies.
B) Be able to refuse the amount of bribe money Musk can throw at him.
I don’t see either happening.
In this scenario, it’s not that he would disagree, it’s that he’d want the appearance of “fixing” things that he would blame on Musk, even as he fails to materially undo the main part of his work. It’s not about reality, it’s about the story he’d want.
Trump is the once great man undone by his advanced age and resulting diminished mental capacity, but we don’t accuse the great MAGA Trump of deliberate misbehavior. Things need to be blamed, and Trump is the face of everything and as such makes a terrible target for blame. Musk is the malicious manipulator that took advantage of that to advance whatever things PJ2025 needs to blame away. Musk is some obnoxious person with more money than anyone, a foreigner, advancing these leftist electric cars and solar, and is someone no MAGA fanatics asked for. Just the perfect person to throw under the bus to fit the narrative to take Vance from some background character in the minds of the MAGA fanatics to a worthy hero successor to what Trump was “supposed” to be for them.
Maybe they do some untoken unwinding of low priority stuff, or just some theater to make it look like they did.
Of course, I’m not sure if Vance actually wants the spotlight or prefers to lead from behind the curtain. So not sure if he’d advance himself or advance some other convenient face of the movement so he can keep eyes off of him.
Yeah, Vance and Musk are two peas in a pod. They’re both tech fascists.
And only one of them is richer than God. I don’t see Vance turning on his sugar daddy.
My mom keeps talking about how she thinks Trump is going to die soon anyway. And I keep telling her, I think Vance is twice as dangerous Mom.
Vance is basically the Cheney, doing a lot more than anyone really notices and he might want to keep it that way.
Based on some stuff I’ve seen, Vance seems more the leader of Project 2025, and leading the mechanism that churns out those executive orders for Trump to rubber stamp. Trump is an odious man, but watching him sign the executive orders just calls to mind all those stereotypical images of a doddering clueless leader blindly obliging whatever the evil vizier tells him to. He barely is aware of the material of those orders (the details are too boring for him to care), but he knows they stroke his ego when he signs them.
Exactly. Trump is being used by Vance and Musk. They both knew he was old and in poor health when they supported him.
