    Meanwhile, future First Lady Elon Musk weighed in on Tuesday

      No need to misgender him, though, we should just start calling him Trump’s sugar daddy

        As @HorseChandelier pointed out, it’s not about misgendering, it’s about what being a first Lady entails

        I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female

        This has the added benefit of being literally true.

      I don’t. I don’t like Musk at all, but this business of calling him a lady as an insult feels like we slipped back a few decades. It has a bad taste about it.

        Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

        He intentionally misgenders his own children so honestly I’m not that torn up about it.

        There’s nothing wrong with being a woman, it’s only an insult if Musk thinks it is. We’re allowing him to torture himself with it.
