Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

Yeah, we know.

Everyone that isn't braindead or a pathetic shill knows.

TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.

VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a fk how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)

To be honest, you'd have to be very stupid to belive otherwise.
I suspect 90% of the people who want to give him the benefit of "doubt" when there actually is none, is very well aware of what he did.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They are.

Everyone knows it was not one, but two, Nazi salutes.

The people who won't accept it are either trying to cover for their team, or are too full of pride to admit they support Nazis, or both.

His arm says "Nazi", but his actions? His actions say "Super Nazi".

[-] Nunar@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.

My eyes told me the same thing.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 37 points 1 year ago

I saw a gif earlier that I can't find. It has Elon's seig heil salute that is perfectly timed to a group of Neo-Nazis executing the same salute. They were absolutely identical.

Does anyone know where to find it?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For some reason, lemmy absolutely will not allow me to upload that one gif. Here's some alternatives:

Adding to the others, here's that pairing alongside Musk actually doing what normal people would accept is "my heart goes out to you".

who the fuck still thinks it wasn't ...

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.

[-] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 18 points 1 year ago

I will say, it’s not all republicans. And I mean this in a “there’s still the slightest sliver of hope” kind of way, bc my church is hella republican leaning, with lots of old people, and they’re all fucking pissed at Trump and Elon. Like they’re calling him King Trump (mockingly) and a lot of them have complained about Elon doing the hitler salute. And yes, they’re the idiots that voted for him and are now complaining that he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do but this is our best time to try to push them back towards “normal” republicans rather than the openly fascist ones

Western media and political discourse: "Best I can do is 1930s Germany-adjacent arm gesture"

[-] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

In the past two months, while some of y’all motherfuckers have been busy arguing over whether it was a Nazi salute or not, this guy and his orange fucko have been dismantling the Constitution in real time. But sure—carry on. This debate is clearly way more important.

Goddamnit.

The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

[-] xye@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Yes that’s by design it’s literally a dissociative - that does not explain this behavior, at all. Also the research isn’t there for abuse, the only large scale studies have been from illegal street use, typically much higher quantity and much riskier quality than a clinical setting. I’m done trying to defend ketamine from you guys it’s obviously the easiest scapegoat you can find but you’re doing real harm here, on top of the harm this asshole has already done

Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

My favorite explanation for this is that he's autistic. It never fucking ends with these people, lol

Do we really need her opinion on this? I mean we all know what it was, I mean we might as well ask the baker at this point and make an article?

Elon Musk's daughter has functioning eyeballs.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Is it because she has working eyes? That's really all you need to come to this conclusion.
