Summary

Elon Musk blamed trans people for recent Tesla attacks after his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, called him a “pathetic man-child.”

Musk shared false data on trans violence and claimed hormone therapy causes volatility. He linked trans identity to attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships, citing unverified reports of trans suspects.

Musk’s comments followed Wilson’s interview where she condemned his far-right shift and disavowed responsibility for his views.

Critics accused Musk of scapegoating trans people amid Tesla’s financial decline and political controversies.

    doesn’t it pretty much fit the bill as terrorism?

    Hasn’t the Trump administration repeatedly said that Musk has no official political role? Then how could an attack on Musk’s property be violence or intimidation for political gain?

      it isn’t and can’t be, tesla isn’t a government agency. Even if musk was this is still equating tesla to be a government agency, or at least under the purview of it, in terms of security for some reason.
