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.

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

This is my first thought and is another level of awful on this shit sundae. Trans rights are a whole separate conversation. Let's start with the fact that some people do lose their children and would do ANYTHING to have them back for one fucking day. A father who buried their child would be well within their rights to beat the ever loving shit out of Elon for this post.
NO. No they fucking didn't die. What YOU did was decide you'd rather have a dead son than a living daughter. What YOU decided was your child wasn't worth it. That you didn't love them enough to learn anything or change your fucking mind.
It's even worse than that. He's lying. According to Vivian, he didn't give a shit that she was trans until he turned alt-right. Now he's trying to use that to score points with his new fanbase.
He didn't care about her pre-transition. He doesn't care about her post-transition. He doesn't care about a "woke mind virus". He's just doing the right-wing equivalent of virtue signaling. Vice signaling?
Also, speaking as a disowned trans woman, while not the case here, often the parents saying that refrain either were the ones to cut contact themselves, or are engaging in missing missing reasons shit
It's not uncommon for even loving and supportive parents to need to mourn their idea of who they thought their child was as they get to know them as they are now. But that's a time to maybe attend some pflag counseling sessions and talk to parents who've been through it and can assure them that their kid is the same person and going to be happier. Making a public stink and getting involved in transphobia guarantees lasting damage to your relationship if it can ever be recovered.
I mean isn't he choosing all male children? What else do you expect.
He's a literal technofascist and yes he is, almost none of his kids are reportedly natural conceptions and there's some evidence to suggest botched penis vanity surgery prevents him from having children naturally.
Holy fuck is THAT what Vivian’s dead name is?! Jesus Christ what an absolute loser musk is… what is his obsession with the letter X
Dude is a like 12 year old, I swear
'X' is the 88th ASCII character.
This sort of stuff felt like reaching until I witnessed it myself.
For those who don’t know: X is like a swastica, and it’s the 88th ascii character, H is the 8th letter, 88 -> HH -> “hail Hitler”.
Yes. I do feel like Adam West’s Batman.
Of course it is
He's like a preschooler trying to use their power level
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.
I'm honestly surprised that I somehow managed to miss that. There's also X AE A-XII, and there are some others that have an x in the name such as Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and Saxon Musk.
such as Exa Dark Sideræl Musk
I hate this so goddamn much.
It's a "my immortal" ass name
It's like a fucking middle schooler saw the word "sideareal" in their science textbook and thought it looked cool.
This is some JW disfellowshiping level behavior.
But sure Elon, you're not the one in a cult, it's everyone outside of your group that's crazy.
Dude, are you an escaped JW disfelloshipped king/queen too? I totally did not expect to see this relation brought up in this thread!
No, but I know some ex JWs.
Fucking idiot killed his son himself.There was no "virus". He went with "you're dead to me". Vivian said that this is who she is and he killed her for it. He's the loser - she's living her truth and he's blind to who he really is. What a clown.
Wanting to exterminate ideas is definitely not a fascist tendency.
I really cannot wait for the pendulum to swing back the other way. I am going to be absolutely insufferable about it until I die. These people have gone so far over the line.
Is this idiot talking about his daughter? Sorry I'm away from news
Yep
he apparently used IVF or something to have kids, and only had male embryos implanted into the partner dejure of the moment.
So when she came out as trans, he lost his absolute fucking mind.
He was always a emotionally stunted pre teen edgelord.
But when she came out, he went extremely hard right and dove head first into deathcamp nazism
Yeah, he was "pro" rights for that community and posted about it on Twitter pre that happening. Then she came out and he flipped his shit started hating it all.
The man child also had a hissy fit when Grimes started dating Chelsea Manning.
Literally nobody in my day-to-day life has ever warned me about or even used the term 'woke mind virus'. It's a fucking ridiculous notion pushed by ignorant, non-serious fakers. If anyone did say that to me in person, I'd laugh at their face then turn around and walk away laughing so hard i'd be looking for a hand rail or wall to balance myself. It's too bad social media doesn't allow for that level of humiliating interaction
Is the woke mind virus here with us in this room right now?
He is a disgusting nazi and as any nazi should be taken out from the face of earth
I wonder if he actually understands why he is so hated. Like, if he gets gaddafied would it register why it was happening
This is incredibly disrespectful to anyone who has actually lost a child. Also, her name is Vivian!
Ew
I'm fairly sure there is a higher chance this parasite will get guillotined before "the woke mind virus" dies.
Vivian responded on Instagram
What does it say?
It's a screenshot of the tweet with some music, then "I look pretty good for a dead bitch"
People will really just censor fuck but not a deadname. Maybe don't fucking do that in future.
The statement becomes hard to understand if you just censored Vivian's old name.
If you replaced it with "Vivian", and "she", then you change it so much that it becomes confusing what point Musk was trying to drive at, and/or diminish exactly how vile his statement was.
When I compare the Teslas to the EVs coming out of China, this guy is clearly just acting out his being totally out-classed. There are some really beautiful EVs coming out of China and we're stuck with Elon's crap.
