Summary

Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, announced her intention to leave the U.S. after Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, citing concerns over anti-trans sentiment and her lack of a future in the country.

Vivian, who legally separated from Musk in 2022, has openly criticized him, labeling him a “serial adulterer.”

Musk, a prominent Trump supporter who donated heavily to his campaign, has expressed regret over her gender transition, claiming he was “tricked” into supporting puberty blockers.

Meanwhile, Musk has purchased a $35 million compound in Austin, Texas, where he plans to house his children and their mothers.

Instead of Waco, Texas it will be Wacko, Texas.

What the fuck?

I saw a video clip recently of Joe Rogan talking about this rich, corrupt politician in the middle east. When they mentioned that the old man had a harem of underage brides, Joe Rogan responded with "that's ballin"

This is what these people want to be like. They want to be allowed to treat women like cattle and use them for breeding purposes

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

Sounds like they have no choice in the matter other.

Ofelon, meet Ofelon...

For a billionaire that's surprisingly cheap - there are regular old houses in North Vancouver that sell for more.

[-] pufferfisherpowder@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

The price ain't the wtf part

[-] expr@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure that would go a long way in Austin.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, its suspiciously low

It's a bit weird to word it like this no? It's like he's buying a ranch for livestock, well, from Musk that kinda fit actually

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

Yeah that ain't a home, that's a breeding facility.

Fucking weird. Like straight out of Game of Thrones where that one dude was in one house with all the girls and sacrificed the boys

Yeeesh

And what’s the deal with the plural of “mothers”? Sounds like he has several wives or x-wives living with him.

And what’s the deal with the plural of “mothers”? Sounds like he has several wives or x-wives living with him.

If you read the article, yes, that's exactly it. He wants all his kids from different mothers to live different homes in the same compound. Creepy.

[-] ShadowRam@fedia.io 33 points 2 days ago

I thought that was pretty par the course in the US for places like Utah.

[-] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 10 points 2 days ago

And they are ok with living under the same roof with each other? If you can live like a queen, you probably are willing to make some compromises. Either that or Musk is one helluva negotiator. If it’s the latter, Musk should really try to talk to the leaders of Israel and Hamas.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 17 points 2 days ago

The law currently would give them a choice, but Musk has the government and the Supreme Court to change this.

[-] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Compound suggests multiple buildings

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

From what I’ve heard, none of the mothers are interested.

[-] Carbonizer@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago

The guy has had 12 kids with 4 or 5 different women. Reading the section of his wikipedia page about his children is like watching an episode of Maury [LINK]

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

Apparently he wants to start his own fundamentalist Mormon compound.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 20 points 2 days ago

The Real Sister Wives Of Texas, premiers spring 2025 on fox.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

The sad thing is I bet more people would watch it then voted.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Nobody can stop him--if that's his desire, he will have it that way. We're about to see how eccentric a billionaire can get, we're probably not even scratching the surface yet. $35 mill seems like chicken scratch though, with his kind of wealth I'd drop $5 billion and see what kind of compound that gets ya lol

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Yep. He will be able to get away with even more now than he ever was before. All guard rails are down. He's going to have a sister-wife compound with trucks out the back unloading pallets of ketamine.

"Mothers" does not imply "wives". He has only been married to two women. But he has children with many more than that.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Did it say he would be living with them? I took it to mean it's like a box for him to put all his perceived mistakes and throw away the key.

A compound in Texas run by an ultraconservative who loves guns is an American tradition

[-] odium@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Getting some Utah vibes out of this too.

More like Branch Davidian.

Us too, Vivian. It's no longer safe for queer people in America. I hope you have a safe place to go.

[-] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not educated enough to have a safe space to go.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry. I'm not sure if I'm educated enough to get a job when I get there.

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 59 points 2 days ago

I thought that was only legal in Utah

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 58 points 2 days ago

If you're a rich asshole, everywhere is your Utah.

[-] midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

I've never heard it put quite like this before. Poetic.

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Assuming he's only actually married to one person, it's just adultery, which is mostly legal.

Of course, that assumes everyone is there consensually, and is free to leave whenever.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I doubt they would be free to leave now that Vivian is out there badmouthing him. And considering the way he treated Vivian, they will be neglected and verbally abused.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Ummm....dad...why are the locks on the inside?

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

It's actually not legal in Utah! The Mormon church yielded after a lot of pressure regarding the practice and Utah then made it illegal.
