Summary

Elon Musk blamed trans people for recent Tesla attacks after his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, called him a "pathetic man-child."

Musk shared false data on trans violence and claimed hormone therapy causes volatility. He linked trans identity to attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships, citing unverified reports of trans suspects.

Musk’s comments followed Wilson’s interview where she condemned his far-right shift and disavowed responsibility for his views.

Critics accused Musk of scapegoating trans people amid Tesla's financial decline and political controversies.

I for one am perfectly fine with rising up with all our trans et al. friends and burn all the TeSSlas. Maybe round up all the capitalist pigs allover the world and burn them while we're at it!

I really don't want to hold tesla drivers responsible for that degenerate. Having said that the tesla driver who tried to go around me yesterday as the lane was closing and nearly got me involved in a collision with a oncoming cement truck can fuck right off. I'm sure there are many more just like them.

I don't own a car, but if I had a tesla, I'd immediatly sell it after the nazi salute happened. Like, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for some nazi.

(Also I can't trust a car if the manufacturer's executives are deranged lunatics. Like... its not a Nike branding on shoes that you can just cover up and call it a day, the manufacturer can literally shut down your car for holding dissenting views.)

i was in passenger side an tesla was changing lanes without indicating on a freeway about to exit, they just abruptly did it in the middle switching lanes, so dangerous. with traffic behind and in front where he was switching and no indicating signals they are essentially the new mercedes/bmw drivers. we had a mercedes driving pull a insurance fraud/scam on both parked cars(accused of scratching his front bumper, after he saw the friends car back had some unspecified scratches). he was able to convince his insurance that it was the person i know's fault.

the cybertruck people ive seen are so embarrsed i think they hide thier heads with the roof of the car so people cant see how douchey they are.

Funny how in life you’re always pointing all of the fingers at everyone else…. But if you just step back and look, it’s everyone pointing at you.

I kind of want to see that piss pool image, but with everyone else standing in clean water and the one guy standing in his own piss.

Does this mean I am not responsible for burning a Tesla and can use trans people as a legal defence?
