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.
Get fucked Elon, you absolute piece of shit
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.
It’s soon illegal to not be racistin america.
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.

Too quick. Gaddafi treatment please
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.
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?
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.
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.
What a fucking snowflake.
Space Karen.
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
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.
The only thing that seems to get to Trump is when he has a press conference and they just keep asking him about things Musk is doing.
The free speech absolutist at work
