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.

    And to save everyone a click, here is the link I posted’s full list of “corruption” :

    Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:

    The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.

    Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.

    edit: they say the list goes “on and on”, but I couldn’t find anything. Presumably stuff not added to the aforementioned post were even less convincing, and as such didn’t make the cut.
