Elon Musk’s trans daughter is winning on Twitter and the schadenfreude is just too good
Apartheid fortune heir Elon Musk doesn’t have to go to space to be alone; his personality has been enough to do the trick.After being left by his long-term girlfriend Grimes earlier this year, Musk’s own daughter has petitioned for a name change — first and last — as both part of her transition and to distance herself from the multi-billionaire.According to leaked records from the Los Angeles County Court, she gave the following reason for the change: “Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”Related: Elon Musk’s trans daughter no longer wants to be related to her father “in any way, shape or form”Musk has made multiple derisive public statements against “pronouns”, doubtlessly more a dig at the trans community than the actual part of speech itself.If one specific public exchange from 2020 is anything to go by, his transphobic attitude may have even contributed to his split from Grimes.Grimes calls out partner Elon Musk after he tweeted “pronouns suck”:“I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a call.
I cannot support hate. Please stop this.” pic.twitter.com/KAP2aMvftY— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 25, 2020Now that Musk’s daughter’s transition is public, people are showing her an outpouring of love on Twitter while also not letting the CEO live his transphobic comments down.
It’s incredibly heartening that the platform Musk spent $44 billion on is ready to eat him up with no hesitation.I can’t imagine having Elon Musk as a father and coming out as trans.
He has spent the last year subtweeting his own daughter and pushing transphobia. What kind of deadbeat father do you have to be to make the life of your own child a living.
