Donald Trump And Elon Musk, Who Have Claimed To Be Restoring Free Speech, Call For Media Figures To Be Fired

deadline.com:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk each took to social media this morning to rage against members of the media who have said or reported something they do not like, calling for the news figures to be fired.

On Truth Social, Trump blasted The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson, a columnist, who appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Trump wrote, “Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is INCOMPETENT!

So sad to see him trying to justify the waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID with his pathetic Radical Left SPIN. He should be fired immediately!!!” Robinson has been critical of Trump’s first weeks in office, writing in a recent column that Republicans have displayed “cowardice” as the president “vandalizes the federal government and trashes our vital international alliances.” Musk targeted Katherine Long, reporter at The Wall Street Journal.

On Thursday, Long broke the story about Marko Elez, a staff member at Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, who was linked to a now-deleted social media account that embraced racism and eugenics. “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” a post from July read.
