Mam Grimes dating a trans person and his daughter being trans has really fucked him up…what a bitch
nah he was fucked before all this happened you don’t become the richest person by being an upstanding moral human being.
Both can be true? He said some mildly pro-queer-rights stuff pretty soon before that all happened, and it’s clear that Grimes calling him out and his daughter disowning him got under his skin. That’s not to defend, not even slightly; rather, the shift in targets and more explicit right-wing affiliation definitely go along with him being (and I wish I could remember who coined this) the most divorced man on the planet.
The moral failings were already there, but now he’s found a big glowing target for his tantrums, unfortunately for us queer folks.
Legit I think the whole robotaxi show case he came out with was to distract from this news resurfacing in more than a few reports.
The robotaxi show case had been announced ages ago, so it seems unlikely. But we can still revel in schadenfreude, because it was a complete dud and Tesla’s shares lost almost 10% of their value in two days.
