    One man’s transphobia and horrible parenting is tearing this country to pieces. This is the worst possible timeline. I can’t even begin to imagine what his daughter is feeling right now.

    “You’re dead to me” is what a bad parent would say. To do it over political ideology is even worse.

      I think this is innately a deeply personal issue to him - and he is now going to train the firepower of “the richest person on the planet” on everyone. thats where the politics and ideological alignment may come in.

      one hell of a (sad?) real life “super-villain” origin story. the man needs mental help, and derision, but a lot of serious mental help.

      He’s a narsassistic asshole who apparently did IVF for all his kids because he wanted all boys.

      That one of the kids ended up being a girl because she’s trans despite his effort at avoiding it seems to drive him crazy, especially as someone who thinks he owns his children.

      he’s an asshole like all conservatives.

            I agree. But Naia was politicising mental disorders and I thought I’d dare them to go all the way. I hate it when cowards only go after the mental disorders everyone already hates. It’s picking on the weak. Go big or go home!

              What politicizing? That he is a narsassistic asshole? He’s also a psychopath, like all billionaires.

              I don’t really know what you are even saying. Being autistic does not make you do nazi salutes then joke about it with puns when called out on it.

    Man… Imagine actually losing a child, and then seeing this man call his daughter dead simply because she is trans.

    It’s actually an unbelievably awful and sad thought… And it’s not hypothetical. It’s very real.

    musk is clearly a deeply disturbed human being. this explains a lot and is, in and of itself, deeply disturbing.

    is vivian the only close person who refused to be what he wanted them to be? the closest person that could not be bought and said “no!”? is this what broke him?

    now everyone will pay for his inability to accept the truth and reality of another person.

      a couple of thoughts that i’m sure aren’t popular on their face:

      • it takes a village to fail an idiot. elon has shown in the past that he’s capable of being better than he is now. i don’t think there’s anyone in the world who* actually, really needs a genuine, loving hug right now more than he does (*edit - fixed sentence)

      • it’s impossible to grow, learn, and make mistakes as a fucking trillionaire without it affecting millions of lives. everyone deserves to be able to make mistakes and learn and grow. it hurts us ALL when we allow people to amass such perverted fortunes. there shouldn’t be super-rich people with respect to the rest, because it’s harmful to all involved

      • elon is in pain. not just right now, but all the time. it’s easy to see that he has a lot of regrets. he’s still human, and he’s still got a conscience. he’s just misled, and it might be better to rally around him right now than to burn down his dealerships

      i’m sorry - i know at least one of these is completely crazy - i’m just racking my brain trying to think of new things, because the way i’m currently thinking is fucking me up.

      I guess my thought is: What if we had more of a “We know you’re better than this” vibe than the whole “fuck you nazi” vibe?

            Having an understanding that the issue is systemic and that all people ultimately deserve compassion, understanding, and justice does not negate the threat posed by someone in that position. Showing compassion to a person like that, who is an active threat, is dangerous. Once their ability to cause harm has been reduced or removed, then we can safely engage with them.

      Basically his first “son” named X didn’t turn out the way he wanted, so he made another son named X.

      And he changed twitter to X.

      And X is an established nazi reference.

      Elon is rotten and evil to his core.
