Another day and another thread with clickbait title to get certain type of people all angry. Because of situation he chose to quit so he wasn't fired like title claims. Also him quitting was nothing to do with "opposing elite" but being chastised using N-word while also being black man himself. I just put it there just in case so that even most stupid people realize what was going on.

Watch out Slash, Obama and Clinton may reclaim the White House and send you to FEMA camp.

And I’ll help them too.

He was fired, okay got it.

He was "right to quit" but I thought he was fired? What is it then?

The first line of your linked article debunks that instantly, he quit.
