Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

Just to remind everyone of Elon’s response:

He said that Tesla vandalism was connected to hormone therapy used by Trans people.

Intentionally damaging a Tesla is now considered an act of demoestic terrorism.

Just another step from Project 2025 criminalizing Trans people.

And this is his fucking CHILD.

What an irredeemable piece of shit.

In the past two months, while some of y’all motherfuckers have been busy arguing over whether it was a Nazi salute or not, this guy and his orange fucko have been dismantling the Constitution in real time. But sure—carry on. This debate is clearly way more important.

Goddamnit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Dammit! I was so busy all this time worrying about whether an extremely obvious Nazi salute was a Nazi salute, I didn't even notice all that other stuff that nobody has been talking about at all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It might surprise you but people can do more than two things at once. Such a misdirected fake outrage comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What in the constitution has been dismantled?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everyone existing on US soil is supposed to have the same rights no matter what. Not only natural born citizens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not being snappy, but what part of the constitution are you talking about? Anything in specific?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here are two sources that explain. Turns out there are actually narrow things that only apply to citizens but they essentially don't matter when it comes to persecuting noncitizens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I was hoping it would, but this article does not show how the constitution applies to non citizens. It names many amendments that they say protect non citizens, but it does not show the constitution saying that those rights are for non citizens, the article just says they are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

The idea is that it's an inclusive document. I think the two parts that directly say they are rights for citizens clearly imply that the rest of it is for everyone. It's a shame we have to rely on this ancient document, which is in some places poorly written.

Good luck getting 3/4 of states to agree that water is wet though, so rewriting, rewording, or amending the Constitution is off the table. That leaves us stuck with interpretations from the courts, which I hope we can at least agree are largely corrupt.

Do we really need her opinion on this? I mean we all know what it was, I mean we might as well ask the baker at this point and make an article?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Kids her age often tend to only care about the opinions of other kids their own age.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Her statement isn't for you. It's for all the Trumpanzees that are still in denial.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You have a higher chance of winning the lottery than a Trumpanzee listening to a trans woman.

Breaking: Elon Musk's daughter has eyes and a working brain.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

True, but shed also particularly able to speak on his mens rea. She's spoken openly about how even when she was young he was bigoted and cruel. So while many of us may have witnessed a man get radicalized by the right wing as he lost his damn mind which might lead some to think it was him being edgy or something, she's able to say that no, he in his private life as a man who was merely rich was a massive shit stain.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (4 children)

who the fuck still thinks it wasn't ...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I will say, it’s not all republicans. And I mean this in a “there’s still the slightest sliver of hope” kind of way, bc my church is hella republican leaning, with lots of old people, and they’re all fucking pissed at Trump and Elon. Like they’re calling him King Trump (mockingly) and a lot of them have complained about Elon doing the hitler salute. And yes, they’re the idiots that voted for him and are now complaining that he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do but this is our best time to try to push them back towards “normal” republicans rather than the openly fascist ones

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, she "begrudgingly" voted for Trump, just like the people you're talking about. My parents on the other hand, lifelong Republicans, voted Harris. Sure "not all Republicans" but it is all the ones who voted for Trump. There's no excuse for them to have voted for him the second time. I am sympathetic to Republicans who held their nose and voted red the first time, but it's a different party now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Doesn't matter, these idiots would still vote for him tomorrow if they had the chance.

My brother. He thinks it was just a normal heartwarming gesture and people are just finding reasons to hate on him. I had a... Pretty bad argument with him over it.

It’s mindblowing how anyone still genuinely thinks what he did was anything but.

"iT wAs A rOmAn sALuTe" oh you mean the "salute" that appears in exactly one painting from the 1700s, long after the Roman empire had fallen?

There are videos of people being asked to recreate it, and while most refuse to do it (because of the implication), some add their own flourish to make it look like something else. That should tell you everything you need to know.

TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.

VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a fk how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)

The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Yes that’s by design it’s literally a dissociative - that does not explain this behavior, at all. Also the research isn’t there for abuse, the only large scale studies have been from illegal street use, typically much higher quantity and much riskier quality than a clinical setting. I’m done trying to defend ketamine from you guys it’s obviously the easiest scapegoat you can find but you’re doing real harm here, on top of the harm this asshole has already done

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't see turning into a goddamn Nazi on that list
