Bezos’ Washington Post scraps ad calling for Trump to ‘fire Elon Musk’ from print editions
The Washington Post has cancelled an ad calling on President Donald Trump to "fire Elon Musk," sparking controversy. The ad, commissioned by advocacy group Common Cause for $115,000, was intended to run as a wrap-around and inside the Tuesday print editions of the newspaper.
The ad was part of Common Cause's "Fire Elon Musk" campaign, which criticizes Musk and urges people to sign a petition for his removal as head of the fictional "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)." While the Post initially approved the ad, it later withdrew the wrap-around portion without explanation, according to Common Cause. The ad features Musk laughing behind an image of the White House, questioning who is truly running the country and accusing Musk of creating chaos and confusion.
