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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
"You're dead to me" is what a bad parent would say. To do it over political ideology is even worse.
I think this is innately a deeply personal issue to him - and he is now going to train the firepower of "the richest person on the planet" on everyone. thats where the politics and ideological alignment may come in.
one hell of a (sad?) real life "super-villain" origin story. the man needs mental help, and derision, but a lot of serious mental help.
The richest man in the world can buy anything except the love and admiration of his own child.
He's a narsassistic asshole who apparently did IVF for all his kids because he wanted all boys.
That one of the kids ended up being a girl because she's trans despite his effort at avoiding it seems to drive him crazy, especially as someone who thinks he owns his children.
he's an asshole like all conservatives.
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.
This isn't the right thread to post it on, but no he can be shittier. He even pulled a preemptive Adolf Eichmann when he said that he never physically hurt anyone. This is what Eichmann said at his trial. That he never killed a Jew or ordered anyone to kill a Jew.
That was, of course, irrelevant. He was the architect of the holocaust and his actions are what allowed the 20 million victims to die.
His kid isn't dead, she just doesn't go by that name anymore, and it is supremely dickish to treat her like that.
This is horrendous. Imagine saying "my child is dating someone black, they're dead to me" or "I didn't realise her mum was mixed race when I had sex with her so I'm severing contact with my child". This is outrageous horrible and abusive. I'm genuinely upset about this
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.
He is a disgusting nazi and as any nazi should be taken out from the face of earth
musk is clearly a deeply disturbed human being. this explains a lot and is, in and of itself, deeply disturbing.
is vivian the only close person who refused to be what he wanted them to be? the closest person that could not be bought and said "no!"? is this what broke him?
now everyone will pay for his inability to accept the truth and reality of another person.
One man's transphobia and horrible parenting is tearing this country to pieces. This is the worst possible timeline. I can't even begin to imagine what his daughter is feeling right now.
Ew
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!
Elon has so many kids, it is too annoying for me to look up if any of them actually died or if he is talking about the trans kid or if he is hallucinating or something completely different.
Elon has reached the point where I am not even angry at him, I just get sad.
(Them again, I don't live in his sphere of influence, so maybe then I would be more angry)
He tells a lie about his daughter Vivian (who he deadnamed here) being his best friend and token gay kid sidekick, but then the "Woke Mind Virus" turned her into a "Screeching Lefty Loon" after indoctinating her in the "Trans Agenda"
According to Vivian though, the real story is that they were never close, she was neglected by her father, she was never the precious little gay stereotype Musk claimed her to be, and he's having a midlife crisis where he blatantly makes up shit to blame everyone else but himself for being an absent father.
