So, according to Musk, a woman that has had a medically necessary hysterectomy is no longer woman? What is she, then, Elon?
No. Musk and other transphobes don’t actually believe what they believe because of the reasons they state. They believe what they believe, and say whatever feels right in the moment to support their hate, and don’t care in the slightest if it contradicts another of their beliefs somewhere else. The hate is the point. The words are just window dressing.

It sure makes them look like absolute idiots, though. It also discredits their arguments when their claims fail under the smallest bit of critical thinking. Musk’s idiotic and ignorant statements like this shine like a giant beacon of how brain dead his mindset is. Anyone that might have been swayed, when examining his argument, can see how stupid he is with this statement, and carry that over to seeing the stupidity in his hate.
The thing is though, no one actually changes their opinion because Musk spouts contradictory bullshit. His fellow transphobes just see him pushing transphobia, and don’t care what he’s actually saying. For them as well, the point is the hate. The words are just as meaningless, whether it’s their words or someone elses. The only thing that matters, is that it pushes hate.
For people that are already trans allies, his words don’t change anything.
And for people who are on the fence, who don’t know how to feel about trans folk and their rights, musks words won’t change anything either. The thing that turns fences sitters in to supporters is seeing the human face of trans people. It’s the experience of trans people shifting from a hypothetical talking point in to real people, who are impacted by the hate. And again, that has very little to do with the words people use.
It’s true, and you see it all the time. If you concede any point they just move the goalposts. The point is hate. They hate trans people, so no matter what they will hate them. If there was a magic pill that would make a trans person 100% indistinguishable from any other people they would claim that real women don’t take medicine or something insane.
they would claim that real women don’t take medicine or something insane.
I mean, they basically already do this with everything else regarding trans healthcare so of course they will.
It doesn’t matter that they look like idiots if they’re looking like idiots while running circles around their opposition
The hate stems from fear, fear stoked by people who stand to gain from the divisiveness that’s created. Many even start to believe their own faulty rhetoric as it gives them a rush of power and control.
Yep. People can and obviously are swayed by Musks transphobia. But they’re not swayed because he comes up with a singular definition they agree with. They’re swayed because his pattern of exclusion is designed to stoke fear. The successive anti trans comments, the support from other bigots, and the fear narratives all tell people they should be nervous about trans folk. And then the messages keep coming, and the uncertainty changes to fear.
Which is to say, celebrating a “gotcha” in a transphobes wording, might feel good in the moment, but pointing out the contradiction doesn’t make any meaningful difference to people who are already feeling that fear and anxiety.
Yes. Musk, and alot of the right wing crowd, seem to subscribe to bio-essentialism, which reduces the only purpose of human life down to procreation and passing down their genes.
Anyone who cannot, or does not do this is deemed a failure, e.g. trans people, intersex people, gay/lesbians, infertile women or men, old people.
Musk is a father of 14, and has issued multiple “warnings” that low birth rate is most pressing issue, and that people should reproduce as much as possible.
Exactly this. Their misogyny plus this gross bioessentialism means that they believe that the fundamental Purpose of women is to act as baby incubators. We are not even people to them — the only thing of value is our wombs, so people who cannot or will not be an obedient baby factory are literally worthless in their eyes.
It is gross beyond belief. I never planned to have “home-cooked” children, but weirdos like this are a big part of why I’m on the waitlist to be permanently sterilised. I wish that I could see my uterus as a neutral thing — like a vestigial organ or something. Alas, people like this turn what should be a neutral facet of biological reality into something deeply political.
Capitalism requires infinite growth. If population declines, thats less work that can be exploited to acculmate more wealth.
Oh, no! Is my wife who got a hysterectomy now a man? Am I gay, now?
Am I gay, now?
Yes. I’m sorry this is how you found out.
don’t worry, musk holds no scientific degrees
We are gay now, comrade.
Every time this monster takes his mask off, the face underneath seems to get even uglier. It makes you wonder what’s actually squirming around down in his core.
Someone should make a hole and check
How about three holes. Each with a Dedication, to boot.
Another brain worm from rfk spread to him
Nah, his worm is all homemade
I mean, just dig in a bit. Apartheid riches incest family? Cozying up to the worst humanity has to offer? Public sig heil. Telling the AFD that they should be proud and not constrained by the “sins of the past.”
This dude would be burning bodies if he could.

A truly disgusting human being.
With that kind of wealth, imagine all the good he could do. He could improve living conditions for millions of people. He could fight climate change, buy vast amounts of rainforest and save it from being chopped down, there’s almost no limit to what he could achieve by helping humanity as a whole.
Instead he lets himself be used by dumb wannabe dictators, shows the Hitler salute, builds cars that look like the wet dream of a six year old, calls his family members mentally ill, hoards all this wealth.
Even if it wouldn’t be out of true altruism, how can he not see that being a tiny bit less of an asshole and doing some good would at least improve his personal image and help grow his business?
I literally cannot put into words how much I despise this man.
With that kind of wealth, imagine all the good he could do.
Remember when he said if the UN have him a budget to end world hunger, he’d pay for it? And when they did, he bought Twitter instead?
He prefers sending rockets that are shaped like his micropenis into space over paying for one blind child’s eye surgery.
This is all we need to know about his character.
To be fair, penises happen to be shaped like the most efficient rockets we know how to build right now.
Now, the fact that we have a space race between private space companies each mostly funded by a single individual that’s a horrifying demonstration of the failures of the world’s tax systems. No individual nor individual family should be that wealthy.
That’s not what happened: https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/04/26/elon-musk-hunger/
He’s bad, even among billionaires, so we don’t have to make up (or even sensationalize) how/when he fails to be a good person.

This always gets to me.
“Contaminated water is a major source of disease, including cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. It is estimated that contaminated water kills about 829,000 people every year, making it one of the world’s biggest killers. The cost to provide clean water and waste disposal for everyone on earth would be about $240 billion, or 8% of the wealth controlled by the 400 richest Americans.”
He alone could fund clean water and plumbing to the entire world. Without changing his lifestyle at all.
Not one city.
Not one state.
Not one country.
The world.
Billionaires are disgusting and don’t deserve to be called human.
"These programs combined would completely transform our world. By redistributing this wealth, millions of lives would be saved. Billions would be rescued from poverty and disease. By inconveniencing just 400 people, the entire human race could advance to a new, unprecedented level of development.
And all of them would still be billionaires afterwards."
Both transphobia and demonstrating that he (and the far right generally) think that women are only for producing children
Elon: “Behold! Women!”
The women:
This is why I refuse to call it anything but Twitter. What’s wrong, you’re identifying differently? You never were a blue bird to begin with? Tweet tweet.
I’ll stop dead naming Twitter when he stops dead naming Vivian.
I call it xhitter. It’s shit like twitter but ten times worse.
Estranged and disowned fathers are not good sources of information.
Financial obesity is neurotoxic.
Elon has a mental illness. Malignant narcissist
The 'phobes will never stop attempting to exclude trans women. Eventually when society at large accepts trans people as just a part of society, they’ll move onto another minority.
The whole point is having someone to other so you can use them as a scapegoat and distraction for societies problems. Elon and others know their goal - keep the poors fighting amongst themselves.
He should seriously consider shutting the fuck up forever
So when we’re able to create an artificial or transplanted womb, he’ll agree that a trans woman is a woman?
Also, apparently a piece of medical equipment will be a woman
That’s probably his preference. Just fill rows of them full of little baby Elon clones without any humanity to get in the way of his immortality.
