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.
That’s a lot of ∆v, can we fire him out of the solar system instead?
We should fire him into an irretrievable orbit with enough food, water, and oxygen for months. Put cameras everywhere inside the capsule and live stream his descent into madness as he runs out of supplies.
One problem would be that he’d expire happy, because he was doing “cool exploration stuff”.
Perhaps it would be more environmentally friendly (which would upset him) if he was “retired” in a more traditional, boring, normal manner (which would upset him), on Earth.
He could then be composted and used to grow flowers, in some kind of “All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden” (which would upset him).
Nobody said anything about giving him oxygen.
The amount of special K in his body would probably fuck up the flower garden
I don’t want to piss in the All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden tho :c
Man, now we’re debating hypothetical scenarios about how to best get rid of toddleresque billionaire mad kings?
It’s no small wonder “the left” in America has been taking daily losses the entire time I’ve been alive.
And risk him initiating alien first contact? How about sending him to Venus?
Just fire him, from orbit into the earth. Way more efficient
And risk him coming back to earth? Just aim for a vaguely circular solar orbit near the asteroid belt. He can pretend he’s on his way to mars forever.
I mean I’m fine with him coming back to earth, at a very high velocity
Compromise, send him to Venus.
