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.

Assuming it’s all true. No shit money goes to organizations that provide aid. And the amounts that are being spent are almost nothing. For example in my job $100 million contracts are common for single locations.
The whole situation is literally the rich guy pointing at a poorer person and telling you to be mad they got pennies while the rich guy is shoveling billions into their tax breaks.
