Bond villain sans charisma Elon Musk has been legally estranged from his trans teenage daughter for months. So far, the main reason for the separation we’ve had to go off of is what she listed on since-leaked court documents: “Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Now, Elon himself has thrown his two cents in as to why he’s been ousted from her life. In a new interview with the Financial Times, the billionaire alleged that negative liberal ideas of wealth-hoarders turned his daughter against him.
“It’s full-on communism,” he states, ”and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil.”
Musk is apparently unaffected by their father-daughter distance, seemingly comforted by having his nine (9) other children to fall back on. “It [our relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Among these children are his kids with Grimes, nicknamed X and Y (X AE A-XII Musk and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, respectively). His daughter may not be the only one to request a name change in the future.
Showing as little care for his relationship with his daughter as possible, the perennial baby daddy simply stated, “Can’t win them all.”

Conveniently left out of his explanation for their estrangement are his own public transphobic statements. Musk regularly makes comments in opposition to things like preferred pronouns and gender-affirming care.
There was his succinct little “Pronouns suck” tweet in 2020 that prompted his then-partner Grimes to chastise him.
“I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic],” she wrote. “I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn’t your heart.” Her tweet has since been deleted, but his still stands with over a quarter of a million likes.
More recent are his negative comments on medical transitioning.
One featured him attempting to find a logical fallacy in gender-affirming surgery:
We are simultaneously being told that gender differences do not exist and that genders are so profoundly different that irreversible surgery is the only option.
Perhaps someone wiser than me can explain this dichotomy.

In another, he helped spread false narratives about putting toddlers on HRT:
Is it really true that four-year-olds are receiving hormone treatment?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 16, 2022
These statements are framed as “just asking questions” for plausible deniability, but the intent is clear to all the folks he’s attempting to target with them.
If these are the views he publicly espouses, it’s easy to imagine how much harsher they may be behind closed doors. Clearly, they’re severe enough to make a girl turn her back on an eventual inheritance from the richest person alive.

Dysfunctional billionaires and their wealthy brats… May they both implode.

If his daughter wants nothing to do with him at all, OR his wealth, how is she a wealthy brat? Please explain.
thisisnotreal
seriously? he has a bad relationship with his OWN child and his response is “cant win em all?” could he be any more detached from his own bloodline if he tried? what self respecting, decent parent would say that about their own child and just write them off as an “oh well” moment? attitudes like that are why so many men just abandon their kids from other women, cuz they just dont care and have zero personal accountability.

Love him or hate him, the questions he posted on Twitter concerning gender and “transitioning” are very fair. Relationships sadly are probably not his thing tho. His daddy didn’t care for him growing up, and apparently slapped him around for being a sissy and suspected homosexual. You guys should be on his side for goodness sake! One thing we might agree on, this man should quit naming his kids

@jt1990
No surprise the same old anti-LGBTQ troll that always defends Republican bigots is supporting Musk attacking who his child is.
Neoprene
It’s very “in” right now for the marginalized children of the wealthy to reject their parents, as long as they still have a little access to the financial fortune.
dbmcvey
Is it?

It’s time to stop calling the loudest and most demanding voice in the LGBTQIA+ community “marginalized.”
Cam
Hi @jt1990
Cute you switched to this screename to post another attack on an openly LGBTQ individual and support the bigot attacking them.
RIGay
Two words will always prevent me from buying or investing in anything Tesla – Elon Musk.
Like all ego-maniacal Bond villains, I am waiting for him to get blown up while plotting from his hidden lair.

Him and Kanye need to hurry up and get cancelled already

Let’s thank Charlie Grey for unncessarily creating division where there is hope. Fathers and trans individuals (and gays) have almost always had difficult relationships. However, it takes two to tango and two wealthy, entitiled people fighting in public is too juicy for the vultures like Charlie to ignore.
So Charlie decides to broadcast this division – not to improve or enhance or educate or improve such difficult relations; but, rather seeking to demonize one and victimize the other.
And look at how easily readers take the hook to hate – rather than to compromise, accept and heal. Do the right thing Elon. Charlie, please encourage people to do the right thing instead of scratching up hate and division for Queerty readers. We have enough problems already. Try to help instead of blowing up the situation just like an opportunistic Republican politician.
Our community has the natural advantage of understanding a more broad swath of emotions and problems – Join with us Charlie Grey.

Hi jt1990 and neoprene, so you switched to a THIRD screename to come in and make up a bunch of stuff to continue to back up a bigot and attack openly LGBTQ people.
As always, your trolling is sad and weak.

@Cam
Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing right now…trolling? Tell someone to change your diaper and get some stronger meds for your dementia. And this is my only screen name and I could care less if you believe me or not. Seriously Cam, get some help or at the very least the number of a good prostitute. Or the number of a therapist who likes a challenge. Nut jobs like you give ammo to the GQP and Faux News and their attacks on the lgbtq community.
cuteguy
This GQP nut job could take lessons from the icon JLo. JLo has a non binary offspring currently named Emme and she introduced them at a concert as they/them. That’s called respect and unconditional love. Emme is very lucky to have a supportive and loving mom. Then again, look at Elon’s 100 yr old mom. She should not be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Barf. Instead she should be coming out and supporting her trans grandchild instead of posing in 1920s bathing suits. Everyone knows Elon paid millions to have his fugly mom on that cover

He has the most punchable face ever! I’d do the other billionaire though…..the Amazon dude with the worked out body!
