Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared
Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.
Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
yeah, could we maybe not frame it as “trans people hurt him so he’s lashing out” type nonsense?
Not only is it false (he was like this long before that, you just had to be paying attention), but it also provides fuel to transphobes, who already make up enough, but we don’t need to hand them more.
I didn’t think you intended any malice, it’s just the way we frame things is important and our words have impact, which is why I pointed it out.
All I intended was to mock Musk for being the stereotypical macho asshole who can’t accept the end of a relationship with dignity.
next time you can just say that, it’s accurate and places the blame where it belongs!
Still he can go fuck himself.
absolutely, I’m in no way trying to defend him here, it’s just about trying to focus on the right thing and not play in to already damaging stereotypes (the “gay/rans panic” defence is where this particular one ends up).
It’s not that “trans people hurt him”, it’s that he got dumped for being a dickweed and then blamed it jealously on a trans person. Also, his daughter who disowned him and the fact that he explicitly had all 10 of his kids with IVF so he could choose that they be born male says a lot.
