The Washington Post attempted to attack reporter Saagar Enjeti on Wednesday after he tweeted out a Politico article detailing how a top Twitter executive cried about Elon Musk’s takeover.

Enjeti, a former reporter for the Daily Caller, tweeted a screenshot of an article titled “Twitter’s top lawyer reassures staff, cries during meeting about Musk takeover” with the caption “Vijaya Gadde, the top censorship advocate at Twitter who famously gaslit the world on Joe Rogan’s podcast and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, is very upset about the @elonmusk takeover” on Tuesday.

Musk responded that “suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate.”

The Washington Post’s Elizabeth Dwoskin, however, appeared to try and attack Enjeti’s tweet as stoking racism, publishing a story claiming after Musk bought Twitter, he began “using his megaphone to help target Twitter employees, prompting a barrage of attacks (including racist ones) from his fans.”

Dwoskin’s tweet received over 2,400 comments compared to 180 likes at the time of publication.

The story mentioned Enjeti’s tweet, prompting him to fire back Wednesday.

“WAPO says I did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Complete BS, they emailed *my producer* at 2am EST … 7 hours after @elonmusk replied to my tweet with the following RIDICULOUS questions,” Enjeti began in the Twitter thread.

Dwoskin asked whether Enjeti has “any concern that mentioning a specific Twitter executive could result in attacks on that exec?” and whether Enjeti has any “responsibilities” after one Twitter user allegedly made a racist comment against Gadde. Dwoskin also asked what Enjeti hopes “to accomplish by calling out Gadde and getting Elon involved.”

Enjeti shot back that Gadde “*literally* went on the Joe Rogan Experience and is therefore the definition of a public figure. My criticism of her for a policy she publicly has defended is in no way responsible for what some rando account may say to her.”

“Furthermore, I had no idea @elonmusk would reply. Accusing me of bringing him into it is *INSANE*. What was I hoping to accomplish? What does anyone hope to accomplish when sending a f’ing tweet?”

“This is a great example of how the media smears you. I make a substantive point, randos say something. Now myself and @elonmusk and somehow racist/responsible for them! All to cover up the fact that they substantively agree with censorship.”

The entire thread has received more than 2,000 retweets and more than 17,000 likes.

Musk purchased Twitter Monday for nearly $44 billion. As part of the deal, Musk is prohibited from criticizing Twitter via tweet as per a clause, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.

Dwoskin questioned whether Musk pushed the boundaries by responding to Enjeti’s tweet condemning the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
