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.
they keep saying he’s part of the government, but congress never vetted and confirmed him… he doesn’t have security clearance….
So just like the rest of the Trump kakistocracy, then.
With the way the Dems, King, and even Bernie are rolling over and letting them do almost everything they want, they’re not gonna start bothering with vetting now.
sure
Yet, somehow, he seems to have unfettered access to the entirety of the government’s record keeping system.
yes, blatantly illegally…
Special government employee. Why he’s allowed to do that without senate approval and has access to so many departments is beyond me
