    F*** this article. Don’t even read the article. The title says it all.

    My summary: “Blame the victim. Blame the trans person for their family member acting a fool. It only got bad after the trans person came out. It’s all the trans person’s fault.”

    To hell with that.

      Exactly my thoughts. Straight up blaming the victim, who was a child at the time of Musk going public with the right wing views he’s had for decades.

        A child he barely had a relationship with. In her NBC interview, she said that, despite having equal custody, she was with her mother 90% of the time and some of the time with her father was for PR for his companies.

        He also tried to get her to be masculine and insulted her for being queer even before she came out.

        This is utter bullshit.

          The guy’s a complete clown and I find it funny how conservatives who never stfu about single black mothers give guys like Musk a complete pass, despite the guy having something insane like 11 kids and being such a blatantly obviously absentee father, clearly because he cares more about the pursuit of money and clout than caring for his kids.
