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.

If it isn’t news to you, why are you saying he hasn’t been vetted or doesn’t have security clearance as if that’s relevant?

Which other people? What power do you think they have?
And who do you expect to restrain them?
And yes, America is over. It is a fascist dictatorship now. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop expecting this to be fixed by any sort of government or legal opposition which will never come and hopefully actually start working on trying to do something about it yourself. Like taking to the streets when you can.

Got it, Nazi Germany did not start out as a fascist dictatorship when Hitler was named chancellor.
I think you’ve got a lot of historians to write to and inform them about this.
I said nothing about defeat. I said the government opposition is not going to help you. They are puppets now.
