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.
That’s like blaming the weather forecaster for that day’s rain
Even that has a more logical throughline.
It’s like getting rained on and then saying the food stamp program caused the weatherman to form a rain cloud over your head.
Who’s gonna say that’s wrong? The (former) National Weather Service??
One of the Umberto Eco’s 14 signs of fascism: Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Ooh, I’ve found a 15th:

My first reaction to this news was “Hitler much?”
I guess he better watch out then, if trans people got that much power over people. Maybe he needs to check his fuckin tone…
He probably should have thanked them more.
He’s so pissed that his daughter transitioned. 😂 Hateful dork.
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.
I’m all for tesla dealership vandalism, but doesn’t it pretty much fit the bill as terrorism? It’s violence against noncombatants to achieve political aims. Whether we agree with it or not doesn’t really change that definition.
Oh some of us might die for him saying that.
“You’re overreacting” my friends and family members
Yeah that’s why I’m not telling my grandma my actual reason I’m quitting my job and moving to a blue state. Fortunately it’s something everyone kinda expected me to eventually do.
It’s like blaming communists for the Reichstag Fire
trans people’s fault that cis people are burning Tesla cars
Elonia is trying to tell us something.
Got it, it’s Elon’s fault.
Oh no, not the Trans Nerds burning all the Nazi Cars, whatever shall we do . . .
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.
Hippity, hoppity , a nazi, has no property
Elon, shut up, you weird fucking dork.
And the Agender Agenda continues apace…
Stop being so clever!
This guy walks around with a human helmet, he knows exactly what he’s doing
