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.
Yeah, main reason I dumped Reddit.
(Others being unsolicited photos of medical waste)
Huh?
Reddit has the great feature to show you post from subs like r/medicalgore. Doesn’t even matter if you muted the sub or clicked “show me fewer posts like this”, it just comes back
I’ve not had that issue, but knowing Reddit’s algorithms all it probably takes is one accidental click on a single post and it will forever keep adding that to your feed after that.
I got banned for saying all 1%ers need to be Luigid. 🤷♀️
