Summary

Elon Musk blamed trans people for recent Tesla attacks after his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, called him a "pathetic man-child."

Musk shared false data on trans violence and claimed hormone therapy causes volatility. He linked trans identity to attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships, citing unverified reports of trans suspects.

Musk’s comments followed Wilson’s interview where she condemned his far-right shift and disavowed responsibility for his views.

Critics accused Musk of scapegoating trans people amid Tesla's financial decline and political controversies.

That's like blaming the weather forecaster for that day's rain

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 75 points 1 week ago

Even that has a more logical throughline.

It’s like getting rained on and then saying the food stamp program caused the weatherman to form a rain cloud over your head.

One of the Umberto Eco's 14 signs of fascism: Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”

The other sigs

Elon.

We're pissed at you because you are dismantling the programs that we relied on and loved.

We're pissed because you're disenfranchising millions of people.

We're pissed at you because our family and friends are being fired, bullied, beaten, and killed thanks to your hateful rhetoric.

We're pissed at you because you're meddling with foreign politics and fanning the flames of racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia at home and abroad.

We're pissed at you because we all know Trans people are the gender they say there are.

We're pissed at you because there are definitely more than 2 genders, and no presidential decree can erase facts.

We're pissed at you because that was unequivocally a Nazi salute in a nation that, despite it's Fascist history, killed more Nazis than most, and there's more people in America than you think who will do it again.

We're pissed because you are not our king Elon, Peter Thiel is not our king, JD Vance is not our king, The Heritage Foundation are not our lords, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Sachya Nadella are not our fucking lords.

And Trump is NOT our king.

The world is burning Teslas as a reminder to you. We will not be ruled. Not by you. Not by anyone.

So fuck off with this blaming the Trans people for it, you sad excuse for a sack of shit.

Get the fuck out of the White House Elon.

Take your toys, your son you're definitely not using as a human shield since Luigi reminded you guys of your mortality, and just...go fucking home and shut the fuck up forever.

I've never burned a Tesler, but you make me really want to, Elmo.
