He consistently surprises me on how big a piece of shit he is. He could have just said it was because it was a better business environment but he had to go the shitty route and blame trans people.
Lol Texas is currently dealing with armed mobs threatening the repair workers trying to turn power on for their shitty grid that breaks twice a year.
Better business environment lmao.
Short sighted greed isn’t better for anyone, including the greedy.
Essentially lower taxes and politicians who are easier to bribe. Considering that Musk is also CEO of a company with big battery production and another one that does some solar panel production, I’m not sure a shitty power grid would be too much of an issue for SpaceX.
… Right, but the armed mobs are an example of how unimpeded greed has unintended and unpredictable consequences.
Chaos is not a better business environment. It’s just not.
Businesses need infrastructure and stability and regulation to thrive.
Republicans are just fuckin stupid and greedy. It’s not a system that actually works. For anyone in the long term.
“my kid is trans and won’t talk to me because I’m a huge piece of shit, waah”.
That’s the reason he’s doing this.
You think the guy who has a fake account which posts as if it was a loser pretending to be Elon for attention has that much self reflection?

His trans daughter hates him so much that she not only officially changed her surname from Musk in court, she had it put into the court record that she disowns him. That’s not even a law thing, she just wanted it officially noted.
Imagine what sort of absolutely horrific father he must be to disown one of the world’s richest men? She could have kept her mouth shut, waited for him to die, and hoped she got some money out of it, but he’s that terrible.
It’s easy to imagine how bad of a father he is if you read her mom’s article about how bad of a husband he was. The man got rich and immediately abandoned his family and became a raging bigot because his daughter hates him
I’ve read that, but even that does not reach the level of “Put this in the court record: fuck you and your billions of dollars.” He must be so much worse than any article could portray.
I actually think his transbigotry was exacerbated by Grimes dating Chelsea Manning to get back at him right after their breakup. Grimes also took a picture reading The Communist Manifesto at this time. This was a huge public embarrassment for him.
I’m going to add I think Grimes was being purely performative here to make Musk angry. Poor Chelsea Manning, a better human than either Musk or Grimes by a million billion percent, she’s a woman with integrity and bravery. No wonder Grimes picked her to upset Elon - Manning is something real and talented and authentic, everything Musk isnt.
I don’t think Elon Musk cares much about his children to be honest, which is why he treats them so so badly.
Yeah musk wanted to believe he’s persecuted for standing up for his beliefs. Ms. Manning was subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by the United States government for doing so.
And yeah I really think it’s a combination of the two. Musk is deeply insecure. It shows in every aspect of his behavior. In fact, I’m extremely grateful I’m me and not him. Hell, you can hear the damage solitary confinement did when Chelsea Manning speaks, and I’d still rather be her than Musk. It must be horrible to have infinite money, incredible power, and no idea why you’re so miserable, especially when those things contribute to your misery. You cannot buy real human connection or relatability, well not without losing your wealth.
I see a lot of wealthy men through work, and it’s their hubris imo that makes them miserable. It feeds their narcissism, confirmation bias, and survivorship bias. Thus, you get EXTREMELY weird convictions that are not based in reality. But there’s no one to keep them in check. They feel like, “Well, I have millions of dollars, which is obviously because I’m special. I’m special because I’m the smartest guy ever. I should never consider anyone else’s thoughts because I’m the one who got me here.” And bam, that’s the basis of the anti-education movement in the wealthier people. And if they show even a shred of humility, it’s seen as “bad.” Lol, we are fucked

Please host the Twitter servers in Texas. It would be nice for the internet to improve each day the poorly managed Texas power grid dies.
Please host the Twitter servers in Texas
Can’t do that with porn being so heavily restricted in Texas…
k bye
Alternate title: “Billionaire that doesn’t contribute anything to the local community threatens to go away”
It’s the same as people saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra rich because they will go away, as if they didn’t benefit from the tax paid services for free
Fuck off shit bag, we’re full
He should move back to South Africa, but I assume he doesn’t like it that much anymore since they officially abolished apartheid
He’d probably do okay. It’s still one of, if not the most unequal countries on the planet and it’s far more corrupt than the U.S.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/10/south-africa-most-unequal-country-in-the-world-report
He would have to stick to the cities that can eeliably keep electricity available.
You mean unlike in Texas?
Can’t imagine what I’d demand to be made to work in texas.
But still he’d have to pretend to pay his slaves a living wage and that is just a huge dampener for economic development!
He is such a creep about trans people
one of his estranged kids is trans so it’s personally motivated bigotry for him
I know, also Grimes dating Chelsea Manning right after they broke up (I feel bad Chelsea Manning got involved in anyone this, she is too good for these people)
He’s just so creepy and weird about it though.
Is he going to see his kid’s genitals? No, right? So why does it matter? Why do the genitals of students matter to him?
While donating a shit ton of money monthly to a pedophile rapist.
Can’t roll my eyes any harder or they would pop out of my head.
Not for Elon. It’s weird what half a billion dollars can do.
You mean he doesn’t sleep on people’s couches anymore like he says? He actually lives the life of a billionaire with too much privilege?
“Oversexed oligarch with mental capabilities of a toddler on cocaine unwilling to admit to world how horrible of a businessman he is, grabs ball, runs away crying, blaming Trans community for his woes.”
He can make his own power grid
“With blackjack and hooters!”
Hookers!
Why not, he’s already made his own social network with hookers.
I ALSO would move MY Business if I wasn’t allowed to Talk About Children’s Genitals! Also DRAG QUEENS are Perverts (but I NEED to be able to Discuss 5 year olds Genitals!)!
Bro apparently needs a /s lmao. Guys are yall stupid?
K. Your ignorance on the subject is showing. Please educate yourself and then come back to the discussion.
Have you considered the comment not being serious but highlighting the absurdity of antitrans folks being so incredibly focused on young peoples genitals while decrying others as perverted for wearing clothes that differ from their own?
Can someone explain this to me. What does student policy have to do with space or online posts?
It doesn’t, Texas is probably better for taxes. He’s just being a bigot to “own the libs” or whatever the real reason is.
Like most extremely outspoken people with a phobia like this. He’s probably a closet wannabe trans.
Actually, the more I think about it, it kinda fits for him/her …
You know… that does kind of track. Back in the 2010’s when the hot topic was gay rights, some of the most zealot anti-gay right wingers… were found to dabble in the very least. And this is some loud stuff that has no direct connection to him, so… yeah.
Even if he is closeted, you should still respect his pronouns. It’s still bigotry when you do it, just like when any transphobe does it.
I agree that we should use people’s preferred pronouns. I know it’s difficult to use neopronouns but it’s so seldom an issue let’s just get on with life.
Elon has protested being identified as a cisgender male, and declared that ‘prosecute/Fauci’ should be used.
Prosecute has also mentioned that prosecute doesn’t really like people making a big deal about pronouns so let’s just move on.
Let’s move on so you dont have to examine your behavior here or how it may harm the community you are supposedly standing up for
Honestly I’d be happy to examine my behavior, because my support for the trans community is real. I don’t think I’m on trial but if you want me to provide evidence I can.
I don’t agree with the strategy of the previous poster which was to intentionally mislabel Elon. But I think it is appropriate to ironically adopt someone’s insincerely adopted pronouns. That said, I’d be happy to read an explanation of why this is a bad strategy.
Cheers.
In general, I don’t think it’s “not transphobic” to use transphobic rhetoric. So that includes using fake pronouns including neopronouns and/or misgendering people.
I believe that if the people that maliciously adopt fake pronouns had to deal with people actually using the fake pronouns they would clarify and retract their transphobic fake pronouns.
Absolutely nothing.
I really doubt that that’s the actual reason. It’s just convenient to blame trans people.
