Nick Shirley wants to work for Elon Musk.

The right-leaning independent journalist publicly announced he would like to go work for X, the social media company Musk owns, because it is “becoming nearly too dangerous” for him to report.

Shirley posted about his desire to go work for X on Sunday, in response to a company employee who said X was hiring someone to “help bring more great creators” to the platform.

“I’d like to work for X, it’s becoming nearly too dangerous for me to even film anymore,” Shirley responded. “I understand the platform just as much as anyone from a creator perspective and believe in the mission of X. Let’s make it happen.”

Shirley ended his post with the handshake emoji.

His post comes after Shirley has gotten into some hair situations over the last year, to put it mildly. Those include getting “jumped” by suspected fraudsters on Canal Street in New York City, and getting chased by a knife-wielding maniac who was livid with Shirley reporting on the surge of North African men into the Spanish province of Ceuta last month.

The 24-year-old reporter gained widespread attention when his report on bogus daycare centers in Minnesota went viral in late 2025, racking up about 90 million views on X in the two days after it was posted. Musk endorsed the report and said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) should be prosecuted for allowing daycare fraudsters to rip off the taxpayer.

Shirley’s report put him in the national spotlight, but he told Fox News in May it made him much less safe.

“Because of what the left-wing media did to me when I exposed this broad — even Gov. Tim Walz called me a white supremacist and all these other people called me racist, which is completely not true. But the radical left now believes that, so now I have a target on my back.”
