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’m all for tesla dealership vandalism, but doesn’t it pretty much fit the bill as terrorism? It’s violence against noncombatants to achieve political aims. Whether we agree with it or not doesn’t really change that definition.
I’m sorry, perhaps I’m misunderstanding; are you defining inanimate objects as “non-combatants?”
