I just heard this about Elon Musk

[Squidly]

This might be old, but it's new to me.

I heard an interview tonight where Musk considers his daughter (son) dead to him because she (he) is trans. According to him, wokeness killed him.

Its also why he donates $45 mil a month to tRump to fight the "Woke Brain Disease"

The guy is disgusting and a total fraud in my opinion. Most of his accomplishments that so many tout as genius were other people's, he just has the money to make them possible and benefit his wallet and ego.

1. Do you mean Musk disowned his daughter because she is trans?

[Squidly]

2. Im sure disowned is part of it

But he actually used the word dead.

3. I missed the word, "Dead" Thanks for the clarification.

11. I read about this last night, too.

What I saw was a FOX News article at Yahoo News, and it was nuts.

He considers his son "dead" because he (Elon) was somehow tricked into giving consent to allow his son, Xavier, to take puberty blockers, whereupon the "woke mind virus" killed his son. Xavier is now Vivian, whom he has disowned, but she likewise wants nothing to do with her father anyway.

Elon is vowing to destroy the "woke mind virus." It's part of why he's moving SpaceX from California to Texas because Gov. Newsom just signed into law a bill protecting trans kids from parents knowing they asked for a pronoun change at school, or something like that. I assume that's why it's news at all.

I am not linking the article because it's a FOX News article. The link is to Yahoo, but still... if anyone wants to read it, send me DU Mail and I will link you privately.

Bottom line is Elon is bonkers. But we knew that already.

15. If you can find the audio its even more disturbing

17. Ew...

He is such a creepazoid. :shudder:

[Maraya1969]

19. The guy has 12 kids! I don't know how many mothers but I would not be surprised if there

were 12 mothers too!

4. He's a terrible guy and not a great businessman.

He drove Twitter into the ground and doing the same for Tesla. He's had some innovative ideas, but is morally bankrupt otherwise, like many of these tech oligarchs.

5. He has the Midas Touch.

May reap the same results as the mythical king.

6. Thats funny

Because that's where I heard it!!

[poozwah]

12. midas touch

he has the midas touch in reverse….everything he touches turns into a muffler. (old joke)

[multigraincracker]

14. You win.

[Mike Nelson]

7. I heard he has...

... said this in interviews. Forget trans... what kind of a father puts down a child, like this, in public?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Exactly. Regardless of their choices, their offspring are still thinking breathing living PEOPLE

If a father can be so hateful of their offspring, just think how much empathy they lack for unrelated people.

It comes down to, at this point, that MuX is annoyed that his child and doctors and others will not or did not bend to his will.

8. If you heard the interview you know that he is not donating 45 meg per month to tRump

At least according to a news report I read here on DU; I've not heard the interview. There was some fuzziness in the report so I'm not sure if the amount is reduced or if he is funnelling it partly to other 'causes'.

Found link re not donating so much: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13666017/Elon-Musk-not-donating-45-million-Donald-Trump.html

Here is DU LBN column OP: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143278162 "Musk backing down ...".

[Squidly]

16. Thats what he said in the audio

But you never know. Could just be embellishment to make himself feel better.

13. Nasty person. One guy I'd never want to meet.

[obamanut2012]

18. His daughter was an adult when she transitioned

And, he never had much to do with her.
