People are complicated. Families are really complicated. Biden obviously loves his family but is still icing his granddaughter. Trump appears to be a great father and grandfather, but says weird shit about his daughter. I have a hard time with people making uninformed comments about parental success to make a political point. And they’re always going to be uninformed.

At least Elon has childrenOriginally posted by frank ryan View Post
Elon is great at dehumanizing and disowning his children.

I feel like there is deliberate omissions of the dull story here. This is too neat and tidy of a progressive story to be accurate.Originally posted by Maximus View Post

Specifically, that kid was infected with the "woke mind virus".Originally posted by Maximus View Post
He said his kid is dead because the kid is trans.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Having now watched the full segment elsewhere, I think its a bit more nuanced than what you are suggesting. I am under no illusion that Musk would be a good dad. People in his position rarely are. But his "son" has refused to continue his relationship with him. It may be justified. What I think Musk is trying to convey is that because his son transitioned, the child's identity as a son was now dead. While his child is still alive, his son is dead. I'm not going to make a judgment on their relationship because I don't know but it's clear Musk is a weirdo. But he is just saying what most trans people themselves would say. They don't identify with the gender they were (wrongly) assigned to and now that they have transitioned, their old identity (which was a false identity) is dead.Originally posted by Maximus View Post

No, it doesn't. Elon is making it all about him and being the victim. This one isn't a difficult conclusion to come to, and it's not a matter of politics. There's also perspectives out there from the other affected people in the scenario.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

I'm aware of dead-naming. He dead-named his child during that interview with using her old name. His child tells a different story. One in which Elon wasn't father of the year. He'sOriginally posted by USUC View Post

"Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson painted a scathing picture of her father in an interview on Thursday, describing the billionaire as a cruel absentee father, who bullied her for appearing queer and feminine, then lied about her medical care as part of his recent turn towards attacking transgender people.
Musk, during a recent interview with psychologist and conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, misgendered Wilson, used her dead name, and described her coming out as transgender as being “killed by the woke mind virus.”
The comments inspired Wilson, now a 20-year-old college student studying languages, to offer her first public interview to NBC News.
“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go, unchallenged,” she said. “Which I’m not going to do because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
The 20-year-old accused Musk of largely being absent from her life despite holding joint custody, and of bullying her for being queer and exhibiting feminine traits, including allegedly urging her to lower her voice as a young child'
“I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” Wilson said. “It was cruel.”
Wilson, the daughter of Musk and his first wife, author Justine Musk, took particular issue with the billionaire’s claim in the Peterson interview that he had been “tricked” into approving gender-affirming medical care for the youth.
“He was not by any means tricked,” Wilson said, describing Musk’s decision to provide parental approval to care that came to include puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. She said her father read over medical documents about the care multiple times.
“They save lives. Let’s not get that twisted,” she said in the NBC interview. “They definitely allowed me to thrive.”
