Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

Breaking: Elon Musk's daughter has eyes and a working brain.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

True, but shed also particularly able to speak on his mens rea. She's spoken openly about how even when she was young he was bigoted and cruel. So while many of us may have witnessed a man get radicalized by the right wing as he lost his damn mind which might lead some to think it was him being edgy or something, she's able to say that no, he in his private life as a man who was merely rich was a massive shit stain.

My eyes told me the same thing.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

So he's a sociopath. That checks out

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

He literally just said "empathy is weakness" the other day, I think it's pretty clear he's got some serious personality disorder. Narcissism and sociopathy both seem to fit him pretty well but I'm just a blue-collar guy.

Idk one way or another he's a piece of shit and I firmly believe one of the most evil people kicking, if anyone can be said to be evil, it's him.

And I've played a LOT of evil in DnD over the years. Both sides of the screen. I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of the concept. If he was just a character in literature I'd go "damn, that's a good villain", but he is, sadly, alive and real.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Evil is the absence of empathy, so by his own admission he is absolutely evil.

I saw a gif earlier that I can't find. It has Elon's seig heil salute that is perfectly timed to a group of Neo-Nazis executing the same salute. They were absolutely identical.

Does anyone know where to find it?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

For some reason, lemmy absolutely will not allow me to upload that one gif. Here's some alternatives:

Adding to the others, here's that pairing alongside Musk actually doing what normal people would accept is "my heart goes out to you".

who the fuck still thinks it wasn't ...

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.

[–] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I will say, it’s not all republicans. And I mean this in a “there’s still the slightest sliver of hope” kind of way, bc my church is hella republican leaning, with lots of old people, and they’re all fucking pissed at Trump and Elon. Like they’re calling him King Trump (mockingly) and a lot of them have complained about Elon doing the hitler salute. And yes, they’re the idiots that voted for him and are now complaining that he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do but this is our best time to try to push them back towards “normal” republicans rather than the openly fascist ones

My brother. He thinks it was just a normal heartwarming gesture and people are just finding reasons to hate on him. I had a... Pretty bad argument with him over it.

Western media and political discourse: "Best I can do is 1930s Germany-adjacent arm gesture"

Technically, it was two.

Everyone who isn't a fascist or gaslit by wealthy nepo babies agrees

My favorite explanation for this is that he's autistic. It never fucking ends with these people, lol

In the past two months, while some of y’all motherfuckers have been busy arguing over whether it was a Nazi salute or not, this guy and his orange fucko have been dismantling the Constitution in real time. But sure—carry on. This debate is clearly way more important.

Goddamnit.

Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.

Elon Musk's daughter has functioning eyeballs.

The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't see turning into a goddamn Nazi on that list

Yes that’s by design it’s literally a dissociative - that does not explain this behavior, at all. Also the research isn’t there for abuse, the only large scale studies have been from illegal street use, typically much higher quantity and much riskier quality than a clinical setting. I’m done trying to defend ketamine from you guys it’s obviously the easiest scapegoat you can find but you’re doing real harm here, on top of the harm this asshole has already done

Is it because she has working eyes? That's really all you need to come to this conclusion.

[–] F_OFF_Reddit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Do we really need her opinion on this? I mean we all know what it was, I mean we might as well ask the baker at this point and make an article?
