"Musk told Peterson that Wilson’s gender transition has been the motivation for his push into conservative politics.
“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress,” he said. "
My god what a total dumbfuck.
He was a dumbfuck for even giving Peterson the time of day.
Yeah for a guy who's so fucking pedantic he's literally asked for the definition of the word "do" in response to a question he seems totally fine with the word "woke" being used for whatever.
He can't just reveal to his audience directly that he thinks christianity isn't true
Because he is a grifter pandering to a Christian audience while pretending to be centrist.
I remember this, but I can’t find it with a quick google. Do you remember when he said this or in what context?
There’s a dingus I need to show that to :)
Edit: The definition of “do” thing
I feel for her so much. Imagine how this feels to have a father like that, who spits on everything you are and then brags about it to millions of people.
She is obviously not a public person and still he drags her and his personal hatred into the public eye of millions.
All while crying about it because you "died from the woke mind virus".
You know, his still living daughter who he'd still have a fucking relationship with if he didn't suck ass so much.
He's less interested in the relationship and more interested in anti-woke martyrdom points.
Yes, he sees his children as people to be groomed to continue, and expand, his legacy. His daughter does not fit in with the idea he has for them. However, he can use exploit her queerness, to play the victim of the woke mob, for his alt-right chudcred.
Worst, he runs a platform intentionally marketed to those who hate.
Wilson said that, when she was a child, Musk would harass her for exhibiting feminine traits and pressure her to appear more masculine, including by pushing her to deepen her voice as early as elementary school.
“I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” she said. “It was cruel.”
What a colossal piece of shit.
Also, she is really beautiful. She clearly got her mom's half of the physical appearance genes.
Hopefully not the fathers hairline
Hair is tricky, but she has a few things working for her. Musk clearly has male pattern baldness, but that is typically carried on the X chromosome, so you get it from your mom instead of your dad. Testosterone is also a major contributor to hair loss, so HRT will really help with any hair lose in the future as well.
She seems to have transitioned young enough that it’s unlikely a concern. At least unless her cis sisters also have it as a concern
Remember when wannabe tech geniuses were talking about how liberal Musk was? How Musk claimed to be so liberal? Pepperidge Farm remembers
It's kinda crazy, for me he went from being entrepreneurial genius, to eccentric genius, to genius but weird, to maybe not a genius but an acumen for business and kind of a dick, to temperamental child with petty grievances against the world, and after the headlines the last couple of weeks, an absolute loser piece of shit that is not worth the air that he breathes.
I mean, he's always been that last one... It was all the way back in 2019 that he failed to help those kids trapped in that cave, and his ego was so huge and his moral compass so lacking that he lashed out at one of the actual heroes and baslessly called him a "pedo".
Edit: Here's a story about it for anyone that missed it.
That's what broke the illusion for me. Elon tried to make the situation all about him and threw a tantrum when someone dared tell him no.
Yeah thats when he started to turn for me. But in my comment I was thinking the years when he was starting space X, circa early 2010s when most people didn't know much about him. Sorry I'm old.
Didn’t he say he flipped because of some regulatory ruling? I vaguely remember him making public statement about never voting D again as though he’d vocally supported anything liberal or progressive at all before that.
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form”
Anti-trans bigots with trans kids, this is your future.
Put into the court record when she didn't have to say so to fulfill any legal requirement. She just hates her father, one of the richest men in the world, so much that she wanted a permanent legal record of her disowning him.
She could have just waited around until he died and hoped she got some inheritance, but she hates him that much. That shows what an absolute monster of a father he was.
Vivian seems like a lovely young lady, and I hate that she has to put up with such blatant disrespect from her own father. How one man could be so cruel, so uncaring to his own flesh-and-blood is beyond me.
Easy, when there’s no empathy it applies to anyone and everyone you ‘disagree’ with.

“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress."
Fucker may as well have said "I vowed to destroy my entire reputation and we're making some progress."
And yet millions and millions of people - including many people reading this - are still buying his cars and using his piece of shit website.
Those windmills aren’t going to chase themselves
I'm beginning to think this Musk guy isn't very nice.
You know, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him
same can be said about Hitler
what would you expect from the guy who spent $44bn to run his fan club
What a prick Elon is.
Thats putting it lightly
When Wrabel sings about there being something wrong in the village, this is what's wrong in the village. Elon Musk and the hateful, ignorant, small-mined people just like him.
