    Starting to think the reason Elon opposes the “woke mind virus” is not because his daughter is trans, but because he keeps getting owned so fucking hard by her

      It’s not because his daughter is trans. It’s because his daughter is trans and Grimes is with Chelsea Manning now.

          It’s actually kinda cute. Apperently they started DMing because one of them made a reference to a classic AI thought experiment (aka bonding over an unexpected shared interest) and one thing led to another and they had an extended relationship of sorts

          It’s like the most normal human thing about Musk so I can’t really fault him or Grimes for having a real human experience that I’m sure we all either have or at some point will experience

    One thing Elon doesn’t seem to understand is that no matter how many billions of dollars he spends to “combat the woke mind virus”, it will never make his daughter love him. Accepting her and loving her unconditionally would, but that requires a level of emotional maturity that Elon simply doesn’t possess and no amount of money can buy for him.

    Rich people are far too often bankrupt in the matters of the heart and soul.

        I had a friend who took a shit in a shoebox and mailed it to his father. I never met his father and I don’t know what he did, but his mother is the sweetest woman in the universe and my friend is an amazingly nice guy, so whatever it was, it must have been really bad.

    I did have a love of musical and theater when I was four, but that’s because my dad was a film historian who also loved Stephen Sondheim, so half of what I listened to growing up was showtunes… but I’m guessing if that was true about Musk’s daughter, it was Musk who was playing the music.

    But yeah, I have a cassette tape of me somewhere (sort of) singing “Soon” from A Little Night Music when I was something like 18 months old.

    Anyway, fuck Musk and I’m glad his daughter called him out on his bullshit. She also made sure she put it in the court record that she disowned him when she legally changed her name. She didn’t have to do that, she just wanted it in the legal record that she did not consider him her father. Much respect for that with someone with a normal bigot father, but when your father is one of the richest men in the world? She’s fucking amazing.

    One of the crazy parts of growing up with a narcissist is recognizing that you are supposed to stop their bullshit. They are in charge as a parent, so being a fucking kid means you think them lying about shit to glorify their mistakes is what is supposed to happen. And to be safe you go along with it.

    It is not pleasant to be expelled from an abusive, controlling, narcissistic family to the world only to become a mark to every dark triad person on the planet.

    And to find the good in that world is nigh impossible without almost endless resources.

      I grew up with a narcissistic, neglectful mother. It made me a stone cold liar. I’m so good at lying that I sometimes used to lie just for fun to see how crazy I could make it before someone would call me out on it.

      That being said, with my child I’m a totally different person. I’m super honest with him. I tell him constantly how much I love him, how much he matters to me. I just have this aversion to do anything my mother would have done. My instincts tell me to do almost everything the exact opposite of what she would have done.

    Oh my God that comment about being bullied by him for being feminine. I felt that in my fucking soul. I got that shit so much from my father when I was younger. About the stupidest shit too.

    I had this baby doll that I apparently loved when I was little. I was too young to remember having it, but when my brother was a baby apparently I’d follow my mom around with it and while she took care of my brother if she was doing something that I couldn’t help with I’d take care of my baby doll.

    He hated this fucking doll with a passion. Didn’t want me to have it because he was convinced I’d grow up to be gay if I had it. Only the word he used was worse. He ended up jumping at the chance to give the doll away to a family they were acquainted with lost their house in a fire and their daughter had no toys left because he could get away with it then. But his hate for this fucking doll was crazy. Like it was impossible for me to become a parent one day and gasp take care of my own child.

      I’m sorry that you went through that. My 9 year olds mother took his safety blanket from him 5 years ago. He was “too old for it”. Fuck that. If it makes him feel better, he has it. This is why we’re no longer together. I bought him a new one and he gets it whenever he wants at my house. He rarely uses it, but it’s there for him when he wants it. He’s 9. He’s still just a kid, it’s not like I’m handing him job applications.

    Not that I doubt them, but I sure as hell can’t remember anything from when I was 4, so I’d be unable to definitely rebuke any claims about my actions during that time.

      I remember the important stuff from when I was 4. I liked picture books, computer games, playing on the swing, and hot wheels. We didn’t have a computer at home but we had one at school and I liked playing the educational games. Also I tried a pear when I was 4 and I hated it. I still do. Fuck pears!

          If Ensign Rutherford can hate pears, suffer from brain damage in the line of duty, start liking pears, undergo neurological treatment, and start hating pears again, maybe pears can suck. Maybe some people just don’t like pears and never will unless they get a cybernetic implant ripped out of their head while trying to blow up a Pakled dreadnaught.

          Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Some people are just gonna hate pears and that’s okay.

            Pears can indeed have very different tastes. There are some i really don’t like, the bland ones, taste like nothing. Some others are really juicy, sweet and yummy.

            I don’t know which ones are what though.

          I remember contemplating the conservation of mass when I was about 4. Except I didn’t know what it was called. My mom gave us a piece of Double Bubble. My sister cut hers in half and declared she had more than me. I distinctly remember thinking how are the two smaller pieces bigger than the one big piece.

      I think you missed the part where he wasn’t around when she was four years old. How does he know what she said when he left her to be raised by her mom and nannies?

    Huh. I don’t really know what I was doing or saying at four. Neither does my kid, other than what people told him. I’m pretty sure everyone likes musicals at that age though. Mary poppins was the shit. They’re pretty great at any age really. Sucks they are in a bad place. What a stupid twitter argument though.

      Ah yes, a trans person defending themselves from their abusive, transphobic billionaire father is a “stupid twitter argument”.

      Why do you feel the need the need to belittle it?

      It sucks that he’s a transphobic cunt who drove away his daughter. Why are you playing devil’s advocate here? He doesn’t need an advocate, he has 100+ times more money than you and everyone you know will ever make combined and he’s a conservative asswipe. Elon making up lies about his daughter and her thoroughly debunking them isn’t “a stupid Twitter argument”, what the heck is your deal?
