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.

[–] Englishgrinn@lemmy.ca 35 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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?

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.

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

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (25 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.

Holy fuck is THAT what Vivian’s dead name is?! Jesus Christ what an absolute loser musk is… what is his obsession with the letter X

Dude is a like 12 year old, I swear

This sort of stuff felt like reaching until I witnessed it myself.

For those who don’t know: X is like a swastica, and it’s the 88th ascii character, H is the 8th letter, 88 -> HH -> “hail Hitler”.

Yes. I do feel like Adam West’s Batman.

Basically his first “son” named X didn’t turn out the way he wanted, so he made another son named X.

And he changed twitter to X.

And X is an established nazi reference.

Elon is rotten and evil to his core.

I'm honestly surprised that I somehow managed to miss that. There's also X AE A-XII, and there are some others that have an x in the name such as Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and Saxon Musk.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

such as Exa Dark Sideræl Musk

I hate this so goddamn much.

This isn't the right thread to post it on, but no he can be shittier. He even pulled a preemptive Adolf Eichmann when he said that he never physically hurt anyone. This is what Eichmann said at his trial. That he never killed a Jew or ordered anyone to kill a Jew.

That was, of course, irrelevant. He was the architect of the holocaust and his actions are what allowed the 20 million victims to die.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Slight tangent here: it's important for everyone to recognize how any organizational structure or bureaucracy contributes to the diffusion of responsibility. At best it's accidental, but at worst, it's used to protect those in power while ensuring the little guy is left holding the bag. At the same time, it helps everyone involved do their part since their individual role is usually very small and only slightly outside the moral bounds of the individual (if at all). You (anyone) may be in an organization that has the same patterns at play, * right now.*

This is also why RICO lawsuits are a thing, since it was nearly impossible to nail mob bosses to the wall without it. IMO, we still need something stronger as applied to the misdeeds of corporations, but I suspect that'll be a long time coming.

This is some JW disfellowshiping level behavior.

But sure Elon, you're not the one in a cult, it's everyone outside of your group that's crazy.

Fucking idiot killed his son himself.There was no "virus". He went with "you're dead to me". Vivian said that this is who she is and he killed her for it. He's the loser - she's living her truth and he's blind to who he really is. What a clown.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 46 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is horrendous. Imagine saying "my child is dating someone black, they're dead to me" or "I didn't realise her mum was mixed race when I had sex with her so I'm severing contact with my child". This is outrageous horrible and abusive. I'm genuinely upset about this

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It's even worse than that, it's:

they’re dead ~~to me~~

Wanting to exterminate ideas is definitely not a fascist tendency.

I really cannot wait for the pendulum to swing back the other way. I am going to be absolutely insufferable about it until I die. These people have gone so far over the line.

Literally nobody in my day-to-day life has ever warned me about or even used the term 'woke mind virus'. It's a fucking ridiculous notion pushed by ignorant, non-serious fakers. If anyone did say that to me in person, I'd laugh at their face then turn around and walk away laughing so hard i'd be looking for a hand rail or wall to balance myself. It's too bad social media doesn't allow for that level of humiliating interaction

Is this idiot talking about his daughter? Sorry I'm away from news

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Yep

he apparently used IVF or something to have kids, and only had male embryos implanted into the partner dejure of the moment.

So when she came out as trans, he lost his absolute fucking mind.

He was always a emotionally stunted pre teen edgelord.

But when she came out, he went extremely hard right and dove head first into deathcamp nazism

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah, he was "pro" rights for that community and posted about it on Twitter pre that happening. Then she came out and he flipped his shit started hating it all.

He is a disgusting nazi and as any nazi should be taken out from the face of earth

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

I wonder if he actually understands why he is so hated. Like, if he gets gaddafied would it register why it was happening

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago

This is incredibly disrespectful to anyone who has actually lost a child. Also, her name is Vivian!

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 18 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I dont get why people give a fuck about Trans or anyone different from them.

What happened to live and let live? Your child being trans and just existing peacefully is not harming you.

I hate bitches who just want to find some stupid shit to be against that has nothing to do with them.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (5 children)

To get your head around this you must first understand that the haters see transsexuals, homosexuals, etc., as having made a choice. By stamping on those people, they are preventing others from making what they see as a life ruining decision.

Hell, you can see it in this very post. To Musk, Xavier was suckered into being trans by woke people.

There's much more to unpack regarding the hate which I won't get into, but the belief in choice is the starting point.

What noble deed did the kid do that his father called him "woke"? Did he show empathy, or what?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

She legally disowned him (including changing her last name to reflect her mother's, her mother being Musk's first wife). Since then Vivian has been openly anti her ex father, including decrying billionaires as a whole, and most recently going in teen vogue to say how her ex father absolutely did a nazi salute, is a raging bigot, and she doesn't fear him

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

His kid is trans, clearly the woke mind agenda did it.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

People will really just censor fuck but not a deadname. Maybe don't fucking do that in future.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The statement becomes hard to understand if you just censored Vivian's old name.

If you replaced it with "Vivian", and "she", then you change it so much that it becomes confusing what point Musk was trying to drive at, and/or diminish exactly how vile his statement was.
