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.
The intent of shooting up a power station was to deprive a very large number of people of electricity, which will directly harm some and could potentially kill a few. That’s not quite the same as vandalizing a large retailer’s inventory. Who’s going to be injured or died if a few cars get written off?
