Summary at a Glance

Musk and his DOGE cohort are seeking to dismantle entire government agencies and have commandeered the Office of Personnel Management and demanded access to payment systems, including the Department of Treasury, as part of Donald Trump’s threats to make visceral funding cuts across the government.

Musk said the journalist should be “fired immediately.” He also posted a poll asking his followers whether to “bring back” Elez after he made “inappropriate statements via a now deleted pseudonym.”.

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” Elez posted on his X account in July, according to WSJ’s review of archived posts.

The vice president said openly racist posts ‘shouldn’t ruin a kid’s life’.

So I say bring him back,” Vance wrote on X.
