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.
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.
