a comment on reddit, said vivian had less gender affirming care than elon musk.
It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.
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. :)
This is the sort of person who would taunt her ex father by saying "shoot coward you're only going to kill a woman" and I'm here for 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.
And was the direct inspiration for the Nazi salute.
Indirect inspiration. Hitler got it from Mussolini, who got it from Gabriele d’Annunzio, who got it from a Broadway production of Ben-Hur, which got it from the US Pledge of Allegiance, which got it from the painting.
My coworker is convinced it was just 'my heart to you!' and to him is why he no longer trusts the news. It's crazy to watch educated people get sucked into the alt right misinformation hole.
This is what the republicams wanted, don't let them scream uncle
When even Neo Nazis are agreeing that it's a Nazi salute, and side by side footage shows Elon doing the salute with even more force than Hitler himself did, pretending that it isn't is not a good look and is gaslighting. I've seen someone claim that it couldn't have been a Nazi salute because "half of America" and the ADL said it wasn't, which just makes this quote more relevant:
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
The ADL saying it wasn't makes me believe it was even harder, I mean literally they're the same organization that said cartoon frogs, drinking milk, and McDonalds Mascots were all racist dogwhistles and that telling Israel not to kill Arabic Children is basically denying the Holocaust.
I think it's time to stop caring about anything this organization says.
Yeah, we know.
Everyone that isn't braindead or a pathetic shill knows.
Further evinced by nearly everything else Elon has done over the past 5+ years
Western media and political discourse: "Best I can do is 1930s Germany-adjacent arm gesture"
Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.
Well thats one member of the Musk family I can understand and who seems like a decent human being.
Hope she manages to get away from that cringe fucker as soon as possible.
The article literally said she doesn’t associate with him or his family. Seems like she’s away from him…
But damn… I can’t imagine what it would be like to be trans and have your dad as the most prominent and powerful Nazi in the world, spearheading a sham federal org called DOGE that is basically eliminating all reference to people like you and firing people like you in the most powerful country in the world.
So many layers to that experience, I imagine.
To be honest, you'd have to be very stupid to belive otherwise.
I suspect 90% of the people who want to give him the benefit of "doubt" when there actually is none, is very well aware of what he did.
My favorite explanation for this is that he's autistic. It never fucking ends with these people, lol
Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.
So he's a sociopath. That checks out
