There’s also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it’s in Ukrainian, so I’m sharing the Mastodon post in English.

    His daughter went trans so he went full South Africa.

    Since the US is so capitalist they said anyone with enough money gets to rule. Money rules elections… So here we are…

        Explain what? That it’s so stressful treating something that you spend millions to talk shit on said treatment?

        So you sign off on it why? Then say you were “tricked” why? You think his kid got treatment without consent?

            Stress as a parent? Dude saw his daughter maybe once a month. He’d tossed her aside long before she came out

            That man has received most of his fortune from being a Twitter PR person.

            Not the emerald mines?

                The part where his family was already rich from an emerald mine and other exploitative shit, and that he has done nothing but lose money on Twitter.

                    Twitter seems like an utter failure, yes, at least from a business point of view.

                    Excuse me, hey put those goalposts down.

                    Elon made money when he shut the fuck up and let talented engineers (of companies he bought with his family wealth) make him look like a genius.

        This is what I see a lot of from Elon supporters - holding him to a much lower standard than themselves. You say you have a similar situation, but then you still recognize that Putin is utter and complete shit. Well, Elon doesn’t and uses his child’s transition as an excuse to believe all sorts of horrible things. You can feel free to look down on him and would be correct to do so.

        That can be an extremely stressful thing to happen to a parent.

        Only an involved one, not so much an absentee father, who seems to be mostly concerned with spreading his genes. He’s at 12 children now.

          On the flip side he’s a horrible and absent father so he seems to think that the only thing a man contributes that affects the children is his sperm.

        Here’s an idea - try some empathy instead of whatever this “it sure shifted me to a conservative direction…” bullshit is.

        It’s not really all that believable that any normal person would behave like you say you did, but in case you’re actually serious I feel sorry for your child. Nobody deserves shit like that from their own parents.

        How in the ever loving fuck would being a supportive and loving parent to your child be “extremely stressful?”

        Bro holy shit, you are so close to realizing that you might just be wrong, and instead you double down?
