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.
Goodness Gravy, you mean an investigative journalist did the fucking job they were hired to do? I know its surprising to Elon, because he’s never actually done any work and doens’t understand the concept, but holy shit he’s earning that upcoming lead implant
But it’s so much work writing emails to tell your underlings what they need to spend the next 2 years struggling to accomplish without overtime pay, flying on a private jet between public appearances with known criminals, and spending hours a day reposting misinformation on Twitter. It’s so hard! Nobody understands how hard he works!

Don’t forget how hard it is to pay other people to play video games for you so you can call yourself an “elite” gamer.
