So, according to Musk, a woman that has had a medically necessary hysterectomy is no longer woman? What is she, then, Elon?

No. Musk and other transphobes don't actually believe what they believe because of the reasons they state. They believe what they believe, and say whatever feels right in the moment to support their hate, and don't care in the slightest if it contradicts another of their beliefs somewhere else. The hate is the point. The words are just window dressing.
They believe what they believe, and say whatever feels right in the moment to support their hate, and don’t care in the slightest if it contradicts another of their beliefs somewhere else.
It sure makes them look like absolute idiots, though. It also discredits their arguments when their claims fail under the smallest bit of critical thinking. Musk's idiotic and ignorant statements like this shine like a giant beacon of how brain dead his mindset is. Anyone that might have been swayed, when examining his argument, can see how stupid he is with this statement, and carry that over to seeing the stupidity in his hate.
The thing is though, no one actually changes their opinion because Musk spouts contradictory bullshit. His fellow transphobes just see him pushing transphobia, and don't care what he's actually saying. For them as well, the point is the hate. The words are just as meaningless, whether it's their words or someone elses. The only thing that matters, is that it pushes hate.
For people that are already trans allies, his words don't change anything.
And for people who are on the fence, who don't know how to feel about trans folk and their rights, musks words won't change anything either. The thing that turns fences sitters in to supporters is seeing the human face of trans people. It's the experience of trans people shifting from a hypothetical talking point in to real people, who are impacted by the hate. And again, that has very little to do with the words people use.
It’s true, and you see it all the time. If you concede any point they just move the goalposts. The point is hate. They hate trans people, so no matter what they will hate them. If there was a magic pill that would make a trans person 100% indistinguishable from any other people they would claim that real women don’t take medicine or something insane.
The hate stems from fear, fear stoked by people who stand to gain from the divisiveness that's created. Many even start to believe their own faulty rhetoric as it gives them a rush of power and control.
Yep. People can and obviously are swayed by Musks transphobia. But they're not swayed because he comes up with a singular definition they agree with. They're swayed because his pattern of exclusion is designed to stoke fear. The successive anti trans comments, the support from other bigots, and the fear narratives all tell people they should be nervous about trans folk. And then the messages keep coming, and the uncertainty changes to fear.
Which is to say, celebrating a "gotcha" in a transphobes wording, might feel good in the moment, but pointing out the contradiction doesn't make any meaningful difference to people who are already feeling that fear and anxiety.
Yes. Musk, and alot of the right wing crowd, seem to subscribe to bio-essentialism, which reduces the only purpose of human life down to procreation and passing down their genes.
Anyone who cannot, or does not do this is deemed a failure, e.g. trans people, intersex people, gay/lesbians, infertile women or men, old people.
Musk is a father of 14, and has issued multiple "warnings" that low birth rate is most pressing issue, and that people should reproduce as much as possible.
Oh, no! Is my wife who got a hysterectomy now a man? Am I gay, now?
Am I gay, now?
Yes. I'm sorry this is how you found out.
don’t worry, musk holds no scientific degrees
Every time this monster takes his mask off, the face underneath seems to get even uglier. It makes you wonder what's actually squirming around down in his core.
Idk Ms Wilson seems far more mentally healthy than her ex father
Shitty person says shitty thing, film at 11
A truly disgusting human being.
With that kind of wealth, imagine all the good he could do. He could improve living conditions for millions of people. He could fight climate change, buy vast amounts of rainforest and save it from being chopped down, there's almost no limit to what he could achieve by helping humanity as a whole.
Instead he lets himself be used by dumb wannabe dictators, shows the Hitler salute, builds cars that look like the wet dream of a six year old, calls his family members mentally ill, hoards all this wealth.
Even if it wouldn't be out of true altruism, how can he not see that being a tiny bit less of an asshole and doing some good would at least improve his personal image and help grow his business?
I literally cannot put into words how much I despise this man.
With that kind of wealth, imagine all the good he could do.
Remember when he said if the UN have him a budget to end world hunger, he'd pay for it? And when they did, he bought Twitter instead?
He prefers sending rockets that are shaped like his micropenis into space over paying for one blind child's eye surgery.
This is all we need to know about his character.
This is why I refuse to call it anything but Twitter. What's wrong, you're identifying differently? You never were a blue bird to begin with? Tweet tweet.
I'll stop dead naming Twitter when he stops dead naming Vivian.
I call it xhitter. It's shit like twitter but ten times worse.
Both transphobia and demonstrating that he (and the far right generally) think that women are only for producing children
Estranged and disowned fathers are not good sources of information.
Financial obesity is neurotoxic.
Elon has a mental illness. Malignant narcissist
He should seriously consider shutting the fuck up forever
The 'phobes will never stop attempting to exclude trans women. Eventually when society at large accepts trans people as just a part of society, they'll move onto another minority.
The whole point is having someone to other so you can use them as a scapegoat and distraction for societies problems. Elon and others know their goal - keep the poors fighting amongst themselves.
So when we're able to create an artificial or transplanted womb, he'll agree that a trans woman is a woman?
Idiot says stupid shit, news at 11
It must be so irritating for him to be eclipsed by his daughter in absolutely every way that counts.
He's just jealous that she has had pretty good end results to her gender affirming care. Meanwhile Elon supposedly had a botched penis enlargement surgery and now can't get it on.
Consider this: if having a womb is the defining feature of Womanhood, what is a woman who removed theirs?
What is a menopausal woman? The fucker's just reducing the gender to "things that will breed me children" and he can shove it back up his arse
A woman with agency over her life.
Exactly the sort of person that Musk fears most, because his agency comes from money, not will. He doesn't like it when people can be his equal.
All the power and wealth, but no true love.
This is beyond parody, one of the most mentally unwell people on earth saying this shit. Motherfucker wants to go to mars just to pass the title
What an embarassing pudding-brain he's grown into, eh? Almost like it's abusive to raise people to have dragon sickness.
Imagine being so insecure, despite having unlimited wealth, that you always must have someone to beat down on. Elmo is NOT an uplifting guy, and humanity will be far better off when he's gone. He could have been something special, but instead he became a curse upon us.
Fuck Elon.
It was hard not to reflexively down vote because of how vile this is.
It's not called wombanhood, stinky
and once again, I find I don't care what this used asswipe has to say
Leon Hitler can piss in the wind.
That man doesn't deserve a penny. I urge everyone to contact companies and ask them to create a Bluesky account and halt any advertising on Twitter. Also of course boycott Telsa too!
vivian should start a social media platform and also run for representative just to watch her father squirm. seriously!
