To Musk & MAGA, “absolute free speech” means being able to say widely racist, sexist & anti-semitic garbage with abandon & not having people judge you an asshole.
They have spent the last decade trying to bully decent people into allowing them to be openly bigoted.
Right? You can tell your boss to go fuck right off, or tell him you'd love to bang his daughter. Go right ahead. I don't think you'll still have a job after.
Current practice in public relations is to jettison low level worker who put a business in a negative light. It is far cheaper and easier to just fire an employee then to try to defend that employee in the public sphere for no gain to the company.
How tf down even know if he's actually not working there any more? He could very well have installed remote privileges/backdoors for himself to access critical servers and is in a secret office somewhere fucking around in the Treasury Payment Systems?
Yeah I guess that’s the rub. They’re pretending they’re a valid agency but whine when who works for that agency is named. Tons of agencies have public staff directories and salary info is all over the web, maybe FOIA’d. Certainly not considered dox in this silly sense or worth any outrage.
So many things for President Elon to work out here. Free speech, contradiction of how he doxxed Fed workers for kicks, he's defending a racist he hired, for illegally getting into our government systems and as a non elected official with no reason to even be involved is enacting a FUCKING COUP.
They didn’t fire him for the racism they fired him to prevent him from testifying in the Treasury lawsuit. But he is is still a witness with knowledge and should be subpoenaed to testify under oath what he was doing with Treasury computers and data.
When reporting Musk, a person dismantling the government is hiring clearly racist a-holes to make decisions involving ALL people is considered “bad behavior” and should be punished.
Free Speech has specific restrictions and bigoted remarks are one of them.
Should have been taken down immediately. To be called out on these remarks IS Free Speech. Elon needs a lesson on our Bill of Rights & precedent.
Elon just screwed up his future, he couldve been enjoying his money and have fun but he decided to go full Nazi. When all is done with this MAGA bullshit, and it WILL end, Elon will be the most hated man in America and will not be able to enjoy a single day of peace.
The louder they scream, the closer it is to the mark. This is exactly journalism, finding what they want to hide and sharing it with the public to hold them accountable.
What the malignant narcissists, Trump and Musk, share with their authoritarian personality disordered supporters are the traits of hypocrisy, double standards, and compartmentalized thinking.
This is what you call a police state. Fire everyone who says something you don’t like. Trump wants Eugene Robinson fired. Musk wants this one fired. Fire all the FBI agents who did what they were directed to do. America is in serious trouble. Democracy is about to crash.
By all means, Wall Street Journal, you should fire your investigative reporter who investigated and reported. How coud you have predicted she'd have done such a thing?
who fired him? i thought it was volunteer positions at a racist project. it's a coup, who even cares if he's racist or if he's woke? what is going on here?
Her article got me to subscribe to WSJ. The comments on all the WSJ articles are a cesspool of right wing BS though, and one must always remember it's a Murdoch rag.
If a reporter reports that that someone has been racist, and your response is to call for the report to be fired... you might not be on the right side of history.
How is it not a matter of legitimate public interest – and therefore precisely the sort of thing that journalists are supposed to report on – to know that someone with an alarming amount of access to vital government data appears to be a massive racist? Which Musk doesn't seem to be denying, I note.
Ties to USAID? That's incriminating somehow? Like being sympathetic (not even empathetic) to human suffering, or at least recognizing that pretending to be would be good for America's soft power around the world, is a sign of something sinister?
It's like the mad tea party, but the tea is cyanide.
These far right weirdos really seem to think normal people share their belief that appearance is the only thing that matters, and ctrl-z should work in real life.
The root problem isn't their words, and it doesn't go away if the words are erased.
The problem is 👉who their words reveal them to be.👈
Of course he does, His platform only has bots and his ass-kissers idiots. The rest of us have left.
It's like saying I won first place but was the only one competing.
He's so epically pathetic. He forces himself into everyone's feed whether you follow him or not, he knows exactly who his audience is so the poll is in bad faith, and every day that passes with him still here is a day someone could've done something about it.
One headline that would be more damning and more effective at rallying resistance than “Doge fires coder who was openly racist” is “Doge re-hires coder who was openly racist”.
Right -- I'm saying the PR damage of the specific position he was in (one of two identified DOGE people given access to the full treasury payments system) hammers the direct personal power that was given to him and would be restored. It's not like he was fetching coffee.
He has manipulated X's algorithm to boost himself. The gamming industry has exposed Elon as a fraud going back to the 1990s. https://youtu.be/Y44I6dwm1XE?si=vadLfa6LgN9GRVeK He is dishonest and insecure. Just like Trump.
He was allowed to put all of our private & protected information in the hands of his personal boy band and he doesn’t want us to know who they are? Weird
Bravo to Katherine. Ezel may have inserted,( or deleted),very destructive sets of code? I would be very surprised if there is not massive damage to coding,persons,Organizations left open now or in the future for Extreme CyberAttacks?!!
"Libdems are cruel!" seems to be their current rallying cry. They want to see them in Gulag, like this lovely account shoes: @jeanlucbacardi.bsky.social
Katherine should hire lawyers immediately and sue Elon for this. Do not ask for compensation, ask that he be banned from posting on Twitter as punishment.
Oh poor baby's crying because a reporter had the balls to tell the truth. You notice they aren't denying it they are pissed of because it was discovered.
Shouldn’t the words “Free speech absolutist” be in quotation marks or modified with a phrase like “self-described” or alleged? I mean, most people understand that his so-called free-speech creds only extend to defending racists and Nazis, but still . . .
I love how the one idiot says she doxxed the DOGE guy. No, she's a journalist who did her job, which is investigating him and then reporting what she found. Doxxing would be posting his home address or something. I hate these idiots.
Exactly so! (Was gonna post this, but u beat me to it!) 😎👍 Also, gov’t. officials are not ALL secret agents (except CIA, etc); if you’re a transparent Dept, you’re not anonymous! (They think it s/b secret b/c Congress did not create & delegate DOGE) Also see Vox article https://www.vox.com/politics/398618/elon-musk-doge-illegal-lawbreaking-analysis
I don't know what else it is going to take for this to sunk into people's skulls; if you stand in their way, if you try to hold them accountable, if you disagree with them, even privately, in any way, shape or form, then you are the enemy, and they will do everything in their power to destroy you
ElmO needs to get his greasy little paws out of this fuckin country .. go back o Africa ,
And see how the south Africans feel about your love of NAZIS!!! PRICK.
DONT BACK DOWN
M*sk isn’t for free speech. He’s only for “free speech” as it applies to people and situations he determines and those definitions and goal lines are always changing according to his whims = not free speech.
they wanna cry about it being "doxxxxxing" to look up their old PUBLIC posts, people should dig up these dipshits addresses, phone numbers, family addresses, etc.
only fair since they're digging around in all of our private data logged in government systems since we were fuckin born.
For the umpteenth time, “free speech” to Elon Musk and the right wing doesn’t mean open debate and factually based reporting.
It means “I get to denigrate, abuse and bully my opponents as much as I want with no consequences, and you can’t call it hate speech. It’s free speech.”
And if I don't like it when you post the truth, call out your hypocrisy, or post opinions I don't like. I ban you.
But I don't ban the racists, the neo-Nazis, the anti-semites, the LGBTQ haters, the misogynists, or the morons that point out fake DEI on every corner. That would be "cancel culture"
Musk's faux free speech rhetoric is always self-serving BS. He is a liar and a criminal and should be prosecuted for election interference and for taking classified information with no formal clearance.
I swear they will claim everyone they want to fire and every company/media outlet/NGO that they want to shut down will somehow have ties to USAID. It's now the new "woke".
Blow up Republican majority leaders Mike Johnson & John Thune’s phones:
-USAID
-Elon
-Threatening federal workers
-Outing CIA agents, forcing out FBI
-Gutting of federal infrastructure
-Aiding China & Russia
- ICE raids
- Concerns
-Call White House
-Call Republicans in your state
RAISE SOME CAIN!
fREe SPeeCh aBSolUtiSm !!!11111!!!!
Ban the journalists that are pointing out the obvious ties to Musk, neo-Nazi'ism, and don't question how someone with such an obviously awful social media presence managed to obtain a security clearance.
Yes and no. He called her disgusting and cruel in response to a comment saying the journalist who doxxed the DOGE staffer pushed for wokeness and diversity in video games.
Apartheid's fortunate son confuses right from wrong, as if it were never held accountable. Add in the PCP/Ketamine and the tantrums are spectacular. How anyone thought this dipshit a genius is a credit to its publicist. All facade. All pubes plugs.
So, fire the journalist who exposed the racism and rehire the racist caught saying racist stuff. It's nice that they can't hide their racism so we see them for what they are.
As with most Incels, it never occurs to them that the DOGE employees own actions got him fired. (Or that they could actually try to improve themselves instead of spewing anger at others) Had he been vetted for such a sensitive position properly, doxxing would be unnecessary.
Twitter seems to have turned into a laserbomb of just this kind of misinformation designed to steer the discourse. We need to find countermeasures because the media is and will continue to fall for it.
Sounds like defamation case to me. Drag this dumb man child into court & throw some cuffs on him cause when he starts getting out hand in court. He's an illegal immigrant who's creating terrorism so he can be deported. 😊
Elon you should go F yourself. Self drive your Tesla into the Potomac. Trump can then dive in and look for you. Oh that’s right he won’t go swimming in the Potomac.
What’s the connection between him and USAID that’s making him so angry? They must have done something where they investigated Tesla or something, right?
Damn I just deactivated my shitter account but do you think this would get me arrested? BTW, I don't think this kid, who wouldn't marry outside his ethnicity, is even American. His parents are Serbian.
Lol! That we need to dig to find out who's a DOGE staffer means they know they're doing unpopular/illegal things. Long is doing what all good journalists should be doing: shining a light in dark corners.
Also, xbro is pissed that the news reported on a white supremacist within its ranks. Seems to be he's upset for the wrong reason. Basically, coming straight out and saying that they have a common cause is just a bad look. So, again, why are any dem pols still on faux twitter?
The coward hasn't been seen in public in ages (outside, not around the press pool). He's real tough behind his X account but every one of his waking hours is filled with terror. He can never walk alone in public again and he knows it.
Notice how ppl who vote for #GOPs -- "the party of personal responsibility" -- are blaming the reporter, who simply shared facts. She didn't "get" him fired. And if he *had* been fired (he resigned), the cause wd've been his own words/views.
#musk + supporters are a bunch of #cuck #snowflakes.

It is the reporting that disgusts them. Because, being a wild racist is fine. Telling someone else is, apparently, a grievous wrong.
To Musk & MAGA, “absolute free speech” means being able to say widely racist, sexist & anti-semitic garbage with abandon & not having people judge you an asshole.
They have spent the last decade trying to bully decent people into allowing them to be openly bigoted.
That is power, that is privilege.
Which, incidentally, means "private law".
Musk is a greedy, power hungry malignant narcissist who uses his platform to spread hate & lies. He is willing to destroy America for his own benefit.
Quite frequently, as it turns out.
1933 Germany is getting closer by the day.
Should have been taken down immediately. To be called out on these remarks IS Free Speech. Elon needs a lesson on our Bill of Rights & precedent.
She's here
Did you see GSA removed the spoon emoji because feds were using it to protest Musk's lawlessness?
https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/06/government-agency-removes-spoon-emoji-from-work-platform-amid-protests/
Even his main trait is clearly to be a white supremacist.
"This isn't journalism. Journalist is when you uncritically rubber-stamp and praise what dear leader does".
It's like the mad tea party, but the tea is cyanide.
Elon musk has ties to USAID
This is the dumbest timeline
proof positive that they are all a bunch of neo-nazis.
The root problem isn't their words, and it doesn't go away if the words are erased.
The problem is 👉who their words reveal them to be.👈
It's like saying I won first place but was the only one competing.
Free speech absolutism is more complicated than it sounded.
Fuck these people.
Vox populi, vox dei?
If he so sincerely thinks he should have stayed, why did he fire him in the first place?
So much distraction.
He resigned and will undoubtedly be swiftly re-employed by one of Musks companies.
It wouldn't cost $44bill
Thats unacceptable
...wants someone to be fired for sharing public information on his platform.
Nice
Like… was it fireable stuff or wasn’t it?? You could have defended your little Hitler Youth ya know?
Elon Musk knows as much about journalism as he does about running a social media site.
HE RESIGNED
And see how the south Africans feel about your love of NAZIS!!! PRICK.
DONT BACK DOWN

And they want to talk about conflicts of interest.
This is all a game to them.
only fair since they're digging around in all of our private data logged in government systems since we were fuckin born.
It means “I get to denigrate, abuse and bully my opponents as much as I want with no consequences, and you can’t call it hate speech. It’s free speech.”
Thats his idea of “free speech”
🙄
But I don't ban the racists, the neo-Nazis, the anti-semites, the LGBTQ haters, the misogynists, or the morons that point out fake DEI on every corner. That would be "cancel culture"
Fuck Ellen Muskrat
Fuck the GOP
Fuck Magats

This was publicly available.
Thus not doxxing.
This is a hostile takeover.
We’re in a bus being drive by narcissistic psychopaths.
You try a coup, you need to learn a lesson.
