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.

Tesla = gender neutral bathroom

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

trans people’s fault that cis people are burning Tesla cars

Elonia is trying to tell us something.

Obvious troll scapegoating bullshit to shift blame from his fascist anti-humanist stance that empathy is weakness and not the old idiotic misconception of mistaking kindness for weakness. Go back to playing with forks.

Empathy has it's price, and it's far less than even a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions.

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

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Got it, it's Elon's fault.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Elon, shut up, you weird fucking dork.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 week ago

Tbh I'd agree really. It's the way they treat the queers that makes the cis folk burn cars

So he's right.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

That's not fair, I'm sure some there are some trans people burning the cars too.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

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

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He has always been a sociopathic, narcistic asshole. His sociopathy just latched onto the transgender thing.

[–] seeigel@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now would be a good time to find a way to heal a sociopathic, narcistic asshole.

There's no reconciling with a narcissistic parent.

I think it would be easier to just get WW3 over with and see how the dust settles!

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.)

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!

He’s really upset as his daughter isn’t he? Fucker.

Everyone but him. Classic conservative

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.
