For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Man... Imagine actually losing a child, and then seeing this man call his daughter dead simply because she is trans.

It's actually an unbelievably awful and sad thought... And it's not hypothetical. It's very real.

This is my first thought and is another level of awful on this shit sundae. Trans rights are a whole separate conversation. Let's start with the fact that some people do lose their children and would do ANYTHING to have them back for one fucking day. A father who buried their child would be well within their rights to beat the ever loving shit out of Elon for this post.

NO. No they fucking didn't die. What YOU did was decide you'd rather have a dead son than a living daughter. What YOU decided was your child wasn't worth it. That you didn't love them enough to learn anything or change your fucking mind.

It's even worse than that. He's lying. According to Vivian, he didn't give a shit that she was trans until he turned alt-right. Now he's trying to use that to score points with his new fanbase.

He didn't care about her pre-transition. He doesn't care about her post-transition. He doesn't care about a "woke mind virus". He's just doing the right-wing equivalent of virtue signaling. Vice signaling?

The "best" part is that it's basically all because she pointed out what a POS dad he was, and when some stupid publicity stunts he did to make her like him didn't work, he turned on her and went on this "woke mind virus" tirade. He's such a petulant child it's absolutely hilarious.

Oh, I didn't know about that history. I thought it all started with the Jordan Peterson interview.

I mean isn't he choosing all male children? What else do you expect.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He's a literal technofascist and yes he is, almost none of his kids are reportedly natural conceptions and there's some evidence to suggest botched penis vanity surgery prevents him from having children naturally.

Someone should do a study of these fucking losers to see how much overlap there is between hateful right wing ideology, bigots, pedos, etc. and dudes with deformed penises.

Didn't Epstein also have a weird shaped penis? And Trump?

I don't even know if he understands what sex is.

Also, speaking as a disowned trans woman, while not the case here, often the parents saying that refrain either were the ones to cut contact themselves, or are engaging in missing missing reasons shit

It's not uncommon for even loving and supportive parents to need to mourn their idea of who they thought their child was as they get to know them as they are now. But that's a time to maybe attend some pflag counseling sessions and talk to parents who've been through it and can assure them that their kid is the same person and going to be happier. Making a public stink and getting involved in transphobia guarantees lasting damage to your relationship if it can ever be recovered.

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm so very sorry to hear that happened to you. There's a lot of parents out there that are... less than optimal. I guess the various survivors will just have to build our own found families out of people worth our time.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah. Though it should be noted, it's actually rare for disowning like that to be permanent. I've known my fair share of us and contact is usually reestablished a few years later. At nearing 10 years without meaningful contact I'm an exception. But for those who do reestablish contact the years and trust that are lost are incredibly important. To lose family during such an emotionally and materially vulnerable time does lasting damage and some parents don't seem to get why their child, while open to reestablishing contact, can't let things go back to how they were before.

And yeah I've been fortunate, I find myself surrounded by love and community at stage after stage of my life. Some scars are difficult to heal, and so I do like to speak up on this topic in case someone who needs to hear does.
