Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

a comment on reddit, said vivian had less gender affirming care than elon musk.

Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem form the rest of New York.

It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.

If he's autistic, that can be dangerous when mixed with narcissism. There's research showing a link between it and mass shootings (practical example here. Possibly due to some autistic people thinking in polarised extremes, having poor social skills and lacking empathy.

Western media and political discourse: "Best I can do is 1930s Germany-adjacent arm gesture"

TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.

VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a fk how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)

When even Neo Nazis are agreeing that it's a Nazi salute, and side by side footage shows Elon doing the salute with even more force than Hitler himself did, pretending that it isn't is not a good look and is gaslighting. I've seen someone claim that it couldn't have been a Nazi salute because "half of America" and the ADL said it wasn't, which just makes this quote more relevant:

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

The ADL saying it wasn't makes me believe it was even harder, I mean literally they're the same organization that said cartoon frogs, drinking milk, and McDonalds Mascots were all racist dogwhistles and that telling Israel not to kill Arabic Children is basically denying the Holocaust.

I think it's time to stop caring about anything this organization says.

My favorite explanation for this is that he's autistic. It never fucking ends with these people, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Tourette syndrome makes people do involuntary Nazi salutes. Not Autism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Yep, its fucking outrageous and insulting. He's not an autistic person that needs 24 supported living, he can function to a high level in day to day society. He's been in the public eye long enough to be well aware of how his actions can be perceived. He fucking knows exactly what he was doing, and chose to do it.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, we know.

Everyone that isn't braindead or a pathetic shill knows.
