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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago

It's in there. Being completely divorced from reality and convinced that every fever dream is truth leads to some strange places.

Honestly, F. Elon.

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

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

I personally know at least a few people that honest to god think it was a wave. You cannot reason with these people.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours 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.

a comment on reddit, said vivian had less gender affirming care than elon musk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what that means exactly, but I'm intrigued.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

It refers to the cosmetic enhancements he has had done to make him feel more comfortable in his own body. The most obvious being his hair plugs.

It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 59 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.

VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a fk how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)

This is the sort of person who would taunt her ex father by saying "shoot coward you're only going to kill a woman" and I'm here for it

When even Neo Nazis are agreeing that it's a Nazi salute, and side by side footage shows Elon doing the salute with even more force than Hitler himself did, pretending that it isn't is not a good look and is gaslighting. I've seen someone claim that it couldn't have been a Nazi salute because "half of America" and the ADL said it wasn't, which just makes this quote more relevant:

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

The ADL saying it wasn't makes me believe it was even harder, I mean literally they're the same organization that said cartoon frogs, drinking milk, and McDonalds Mascots were all racist dogwhistles and that telling Israel not to kill Arabic Children is basically denying the Holocaust.

I think it's time to stop caring about anything this organization says.
