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.

    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.

    Now that the Trump administration is treating Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism, Musk has connected Trans people to domestic terrorism.

    Whether or not he meant to (I don’t know if his Ketamine and amphetamine addled brain even comprehends cause and effect), this is a stated goal of Project 2025: criminalizing Trans people.

    An argument I read recently is that the Nazi plan for gay and trans people wasn’t “genocide” per se. It was a mental health issue or deficiency to be cured. More a project of conversion therapy. In effect, it was wanton slaughter and being a “pink triangle” prisoner was about as bad as you could get, but Himmler had ideas like having gay men fuck prostitutes in the camps (women promised a better life than Ravensbrück - they’d end up on the trains to Auschwitz after). Like you could supposedly be cured, so the goal would be to fix you before giving up and eliminating you, at least in theory.

    They’ll have trans people declared mentally ill for being trans and institutionalized. The institutionalization won’t have the goal of killing us, but the people put in charge of caring for us will exploit their power. We will be sexually abused, chemically castrated, and physically abused. This will happen under the appearance of mental health treatment, so it will be invisible.

    They’re trying to make not liking Trump a mental illness in one state so far, they’re absolutely going to make being Trans a mental illness.

    Although with Musk connecting being Trans with attacking Teslas, and the Trump administration treating attacking Teslas as domestic terrorism, I could absolutely foresee Trans people eventually being sent to CECOT and never leaving.

    If Tesla cars turn people into gender dysphoria, are they actually trans formers?

    True, its trans peoples fault. When I see a trans person Molotov a Tesla I am inspired to join them and do the same.

    Remember when you hear people like elon musk, trump and rogan attack hormone replacement therapy that they are literally using it themselves. Its so stupid.

    Obvious troll scapegoating bullshit to shift blame from his fascist anti-humanist stance that empathy is weakness and not the old idiotic misconception of mistaking kindness for weakness. Go back to playing with forks.

    It would be 100% of Musk suddenly making a genuine effort to be a good person. It’s not on his daughter’s shoulders so it’s not like there are “two good people who just need to communicate”. If he actually worried about being a good person then of course the country would be better off because d’uh.

    I really don't want to hold tesla drivers responsible for that degenerate. Having said that the tesla driver who tried to go around me yesterday as the lane was closing and nearly got me involved in a collision with a oncoming cement truck can fuck right off. I'm sure there are many more just like them.

    I for one am perfectly fine with rising up with all our trans et al. friends and burn all the TeSSlas. Maybe round up all the capitalist pigs allover the world and burn them while we're at it!
