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.

      I got warnings and a ban on reddit for saying he needs to be subject to capital punishment. Which I believe he does. Musk needs to be arrested and sentenced to death. He needs to be made an example of in that manner.

      The fucker started carrying one of his kids everywhere with him after Mangione did a Luigi on a POS. The poor tyke’s name is “X Æ A-Xii”. People are saying the kid is being used as a human shield…

      Not that I am discouraging you or anyone from joining the Mario Party. It just highlights the sheer depravity that is Musk.
