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.

Just to remind everyone of Elon’s response:

He said that Tesla vandalism was connected to hormone therapy used by Trans people.

Intentionally damaging a Tesla is now considered an act of demoestic terrorism.

Just another step from Project 2025 criminalizing Trans people.

And this is his fucking CHILD.

What an irredeemable piece of shit.

The kid is all right. Great hair, too.

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.

Dammit! I was so busy all this time worrying about whether an extremely obvious Nazi salute was a Nazi salute, I didn't even notice all that other stuff that nobody has been talking about at all.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

It might surprise you but people can do more than two things at once. Such a misdirected fake outrage comment.

[–] sfu@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

What in the constitution has been dismantled?

Everyone existing on US soil is supposed to have the same rights no matter what. Not only natural born citizens.

[–] F_OFF_Reddit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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?

[–] thepresentpast@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

Kids her age often tend to only care about the opinions of other kids their own age.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Her statement isn't for you. It's for all the Trumpanzees that are still in denial.

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

You have a higher chance of winning the lottery than a Trumpanzee listening to a trans woman.

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

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 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] mira13@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Doesn't matter, these idiots would still vote for him tomorrow if they had the chance.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, she "begrudgingly" voted for Trump, just like the people you're talking about. My parents on the other hand, lifelong Republicans, voted Harris. Sure "not all Republicans" but it is all the ones who voted for Trump. There's no excuse for them to have voted for him the second time. I am sympathetic to Republicans who held their nose and voted red the first time, but it's a different party now.

My brother. He thinks it was just a normal heartwarming gesture and people are just finding reasons to hate on him. I had a... Pretty bad argument with him over it.

Everyone who isn't a fascist or gaslit by wealthy nepo babies agrees

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 13 points 1 day 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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see turning into a goddamn Nazi on that list
