Elon is wading into the puberty blocker debate!

he’s also a 24 carat arsehole.

I cannot forget his "paedo guy" comments about the ordinary British man helping with the underwater cave rescue, plus Twitter had to sue to force Musk to honour his deal. Stupid comments he has made also adversely affected the share price of the companies mentioned. Twat!

I agree with him on this topic, but have him pegged as a 24Carat Arsehole generally.

I know it’s completely unsubstantiated, but my gut reaction to the result of the paedo guy trial was “he paid off the jury”.

but it seems even arseholes know that sterilizing children is quite evil.

He has been for a while I think.

He has good bits and bad bits. You know, like a human...

But it is definitely good for GC feminism that the owner and controller of twitter doesn't think "stop sterilising and mutilating kids because rainbows" is hateful. It means we can speak.

He is also a powerful, rich, influential man. He has reach. That is important.

I agree with this!

Oh well maybe I mixed him up with some other pathologically narcissistic male lol. Whilst it's true things aren't so strictly enforced anymore and previously banned users are allowed back , "misgendering or deadnaming" remains a reportable offence.

Elon has been vocal for some time and I can't see how it's helped things. He's loathed in the US, so may well be retarding progress over there.

Here's the piece his wife wrote, if anyone wanted to read it.

Actually, come to think of it I think I've forgotten just how censored Americans are. Where else can they speak so openly and with a huge user base but Twitter? We still have a few websites in the UK and the media has gotten better and better.

His son is caught up in this ideology.

His ex is dating an AGP.

Wow, I just caught up with what Grimes has been doing for the past few years. I had no idea she and Elon had a second child (via surrogate).

Given that Grimes and Elon are so into the idea of transhumanism, I was initially a little surprised by his stance - but actually, 'no life changing interventions for minors' is fully compatible with 'informed consent for adults (for anything/everything)'.

Not sure Elon Musk on your team is a win. I would hazard it’s more of a comment against it

Who apparently never speaks to Elon over it.

Similar to Graham Linehan's ex-wife and kids.

I’ve noticed it’s always incels who
comment upon glinners divorce. I suppose it’s the nearest they’ll ever get to a wife and kids.

SpeedSnap · 25/04/2023 21:14

The man who wants Neurolink inside humans then saying there needs to be a physical AI off switch are two odd ideas to hold at once.

Surrogacy and IVF selection God complex is ok for Dad, kids can't join Dad until 18.

I read an article today about people having out of body experiences and the answer for these people and those with tinnitus is a semi conductor in their brain apparently.

It's a win in terms of Twitter censorship.

Trans-activists must hate that they can't get their opponents silenced as much.

JacquelinePot · 25/04/2023 21:33

I find it really weird when people say "I'm disappointed that x person agrees that humans can't change sex/sterilising kids is wrong/men shouldn't be in women's prisons". Infant EVERYONE to believe that stuff because its all objectively true.

My disappointment is reserved for all the unthinking, virtue signalling tools who argue otherwise.

JacquelinePot · 25/04/2023 21:34

*I want, not infant ffs

JacquelinePot · 25/04/2023 21:37

I agree with this entirely.

I find Elon Musk to be a fascinating, intriguing human - a rich man who isn't afraid to do things differently. And having someone with that degree of power advocating for science and fact isn't a bad thing.

I don't agree with him on everything, but that's OK. I don't think he's a total arse, nor completely bad.

I do think the fact that he's autistic means that he sometimes communicates in a way that other people find awkward or uncomfortable. Or holds views that don't jibe well with popular consensus. I think sometimes this is what contributes to people's dislike of him.

(For transparency, I'm also autistic)

Donald Trump - I find it very difficult to find anything positive to say about the man. That's not the case with Elon - I disagree with him vehemently on some points but agree entirely on others. I don't think he's inherently a "bad" person unlike the aforementioned ex-President.

And his father thinks the exact opposite; and has no qualms in announcing it to all and sundry.

The fact that my GC views align with some loathsome people (from Trump supporters, to Tories and now Elon Musk) makes me sad.

But there are people like Rosie Duffield too! Proudly on the left and speaking up for women’s rights.

I went down a bit of a Twitter rabbit hole tonight - de-transitioner posts. I can’t believe these children were allowed to make such radical decisions.

And then I saw a post Rosie shared from a disabled woman wanting her carers to be female because of the intimate care she needed. Don’t her rights matter?

PopGoesTheProsecco · 25/04/2023 22:17

If her request for female carers is denied. Could she be left with carers like this?

Laladybird · 25/04/2023 22:24

Not keen on EM but relieved that he sacked all the woke moderators on Twitter and has allowed open debate.

He's got all these children but I don't think any of them were fathered in the traditional manner. Odd.

SmartHome · 25/04/2023 22:33

I think EM comes across as surprisingly normal and I quite like him on twitter. I don't really get the hate. He's already made twitter a far less toxic place by removing most of the terrible censorship around GC viewpoints.

do You disagree with the point he made “sterilizing children is bad”? Because for me “sterilizing children is OK” is reprehensible.

Oh yes definitely.
Now that someone who isn’t morally pure has said that sterilisation for kids is bad then we must send all our kids on the path of sex reassignment surgery, whether they bloody like it or not!
Because if we don’t then we can’t polish our little self righteous halos and tell everyone how virtuous we are?

RoyalCorgi · 26/04/2023 08:11

You don't have to like Elon Musk. I don't, particularly. But let's be honest, everyone who isn't a complete fucking loon understands that humans can't change sex. Everyone who has any kind of moral compass at all understands that you shouldn't put children on harmful puberty blockers that could cause them lifelong damage. The really astonishing thing is that there are people who claim to believe that humans can change sex and puberty blockers are fine, presumably because they are too stupid or cowardly to defy the current progressive orthodoxy.

They're not really views, on the whole though. They're just facts. All kinds of people, all types and ideolgies, tend to agree on basic facts.

It's not weird that people from all walks of life agree that transwomen are men. Because they simply are. Likewise its not weird that all sorts of people are against medically castrating or surgically deforming children. It's kind of the default for humans to not do those things.
