Summary

Elon Musk blamed trans people for recent Tesla attacks after his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, called him a "pathetic man-child."

Musk shared false data on trans violence and claimed hormone therapy causes volatility. He linked trans identity to attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships, citing unverified reports of trans suspects.

Musk’s comments followed Wilson’s interview where she condemned his far-right shift and disavowed responsibility for his views.

Critics accused Musk of scapegoating trans people amid Tesla's financial decline and political controversies.

Stop being so clever!

True, its trans peoples fault. When I see a trans person Molotov a Tesla I am inspired to join them and do the same.

Remember when you hear people like elon musk, trump and rogan attack hormone replacement therapy that they are literally using it themselves. Its so stupid.

Got it, it's Elon's fault.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

You're pissing on way, way more people than this arbitrarily selected vulnerable group you love to harm, Elon. Get a fucking grip.

Wonder how much better off the country would be if Elon and his daughter could reconcile.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

There's no reconciling with a narcissistic parent.

I really don't want to hold tesla drivers responsible for that degenerate. Having said that the tesla driver who tried to go around me yesterday as the lane was closing and nearly got me involved in a collision with a oncoming cement truck can fuck right off. I'm sure there are many more just like them.

I don't own a car, but if I had a tesla, I'd immediatly sell it after the nazi salute happened. Like, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for some nazi.

(Also I can't trust a car if the manufacturer's executives are deranged lunatics. Like... its not a Nike branding on shoes that you can just cover up and call it a day, the manufacturer can literally shut down your car for holding dissenting views.)

Fire knows no gender. There is only "on fire" and "not on fire."

I for one am perfectly fine with rising up with all our trans et al. friends and burn all the TeSSlas. Maybe round up all the capitalist pigs allover the world and burn them while we're at it!

Funny how in life you’re always pointing all of the fingers at everyone else…. But if you just step back and look, it’s everyone pointing at you.

trans people are powerful as fuck, but if they have literal superpowers like mindcontrol that is technically separate, elon, you loser
