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


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. […]

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.” 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. Trump’s order was to “ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.”
