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?

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.

"You're dead to me" is what a bad parent would say. To do it over political ideology is even worse.
I think this is innately a deeply personal issue to him - and he is now going to train the firepower of "the richest person on the planet" on everyone. thats where the politics and ideological alignment may come in.
one hell of a (sad?) real life "super-villain" origin story. the man needs mental help, and derision, but a lot of serious mental help.
The richest man in the world can buy anything except the love and admiration of his own child.

He's a narsassistic asshole who apparently did IVF for all his kids because he wanted all boys.
That one of the kids ended up being a girl because she's trans despite his effort at avoiding it seems to drive him crazy, especially as someone who thinks he owns his children.
he's an asshole like all conservatives.

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
'X' is the 88th ASCII character.
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.

His kid isn't dead, she just doesn't go by that name anymore, and it is supremely dickish to treat her like that.

musk is clearly a deeply disturbed human being. this explains a lot and is, in and of itself, deeply disturbing.
is vivian the only close person who refused to be what he wanted them to be? the closest person that could not be bought and said "no!"? is this what broke him?
now everyone will pay for his inability to accept the truth and reality of another person.

Fucking called her Xavier, I would change that even if I wasn't trans
wait till you hear about X Æ A-12
Using an Æ without being able to pronounce it is both offensive and hilarious to me as a Dænish person

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

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.

One man's transphobia and horrible parenting is tearing this country to pieces. This is the worst possible timeline. I can't even begin to imagine what his daughter is feeling right now.
It's far from just the one man.
That's absolutely true. I transitioned over a decade ago and have never had a problem until Republicans randomly decided that trans people were a target recently. A buddy of mine transitioned 35 years ago and he's in absolute pieces over the state of the country right now. He was harassed just yesterday while taking a walk, because he's out and proud in the neighborhood. I'm absolutely terrified to see how bad this will get.

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.

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.
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.

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

No. He just stopped letting his PR people manage his twitter account. The man had a falling out with his father because his father married his step sister before he could. His family was never well.

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

He is a disgusting nazi and as any nazi should be taken out from the face of earth
Elon has so many kids, it is too annoying for me to look up if any of them actually died or if he is talking about the trans kid or if he is hallucinating or something completely different.
Elon has reached the point where I am not even angry at him, I just get sad.
(Them again, I don't live in his sphere of influence, so maybe then I would be more angry)
He tells a lie about his daughter Vivian (who he deadnamed here) being his best friend and token gay kid sidekick, but then the "Woke Mind Virus" turned her into a "Screeching Lefty Loon" after indoctinating her in the "Trans Agenda"
According to Vivian though, the real story is that they were never close, she was neglected by her father, she was never the precious little gay stereotype Musk claimed her to be, and he's having a midlife crisis where he blatantly makes up shit to blame everyone else but himself for being an absent father.
