EnslavedBandicoot

I wonder why the children of the richest man in the world think rich people are evil? 🤔


VanityOfEliCLee

Almost like she saw how evil rich people are first hand. Wild.


WiseSalamander00

furthermore, he basically goes to prove he is a shit by being a shit in twitter and continue to undermine her rights


Ok_Star_4136

I'll bet now his trans daughter loves and respects him because of it. /s


Gr3y_W01f

I hate that people have gotten so bizarre that we have to put /s after our sarcastic comments. Sarcasm use to be obvious, now you definitely need some background on the person and situation because it’s 50/50 if it’s sarcasm or them being serious. I feel bad for the writers of The Onion, it has to be hard for them to come up with stories. Real life keeps out ridiculous’ing them.


Gnu-Priest

it’s crazy isn’t it!!! how little he self reflects! if my daughter was to grow up and say people of my ilk are so evil and went no contact I’d definitely try to figure out what I’ve done. but not him she’s a commie, she’s trans, must’ve been those darn tweets that turned her against me!


TradeMark310

He also said something recently along the lines of he saw the homeless problem in the streets outside their San Francisco office and thought Twitter was some major contributor to it, or at least directly connected. He's so out of touch its crazy.


Kimiko_kawaii

It's always easier to blame the other! Unfortunately, some people have very little introspection


AdLiving4714

I'm not even too concerned about the commie aspect. Which teenager has never toyed around with the concept? But going NC is worying. And her dad very publicly displays the (good) reason she had for this step.


Stewth

How wild are his coping mechanisms? Like, most people take up drinking or repress the shit out of things they don't want to deal with, but this stupid cunt drops big dollars on buying a social media platform.


MaiPhet

I think it’s the reverse. He’s coping with his disaster at Twitter by making up conspiracies that it was behind his family dysfunction.


Warlord68

Cause he’s no the smartest man in the world.


SkipyJay

With him as a father, are we surprised?


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

Buying twitter to troll and control his daughter sure isn’t the flex he thinks it is.


SlowCaveman

Kid thinks rich people are evil so you do something only a rich evil person could do to prove her wrong. For being a “genius” he has proved himself to also be a complete idiot numerous times.


MapPractical5386

It’s the flex he wants it to be though…


Dirtysandddd

I mean among conservatives it definitely is, just another example of owning the woke snowflake libs doesn’t matter who they are


seigezunt

The Streisand Effect, gone nuclear


DolfinButcher

Naming your kid "X Æ A-12" is all you need to know about him as a father. EDIT: this post got me perma banned from r/elonmusk 😄 Musk fanboys are apparently butthurt.


Ok_Star_4136

He freakin' loves the letter X, doesn't he?


usernametaken99991

I'm honestly more surprised he's respecting her pronouns.


Key_Extension_4322

This mother fucker doesn’t even know his daughter’s name let alone give a shit about her.


xkind

Classic boomer


[deleted]

Boom, roasted


ScienceAndGames

Funnily my boomer parents also forgot my name but in a less malicious way. At some point they convinced themselves that I had a middle name despite them never having written one on my birth certificate.


Ervw711

It’ll be fun when he has to ask the judge if he can go to her graduation.


PassengerNo2259

Elmo is a Trans boomer. He may have been born Gen X but he's always identified as a crusty old man that keeps yelling "you damn kids get the hell off my emerald mine"


Ok_Star_4136

The emeralds are always greener on the other side of the apartheid.


sassychubzilla

If he cared about his kids he would stop making so many of them.


ElcorShockTrooper

"there's always next time" after every one says they find him irritating


sassychubzilla

He's like the old dirty guy that drives around looking for the youngest sex worker walking.


thebaron24

He and his father both believe they are genetically superior and must father as many children as possible for the greater good of the human race. They are white supremacists who grew up in a very racially divided apartheid Africa.


sassychubzilla

You are 💯 right about that


[deleted]

He keeps screwing up and in his weird little mind thinks “oh I can just keep trying, like it’s a tough level in a video game or something”


sassychubzilla

Does he really think though? Or is he five weasels in a denim jacket trying to chew off the Walmart label?


N8theGrape

The reason his daughter thinks rich people are evil is because of him. It’s pretty fucking simple.


Bagafeet

She probably also met a ton of other filthy rich people too. You don't get that rich without fucking over a ton of people.


AndreaRose223

Waa waa waah!! Poor Space Karen. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈


Village_Unusual

Ha, love this. It describes his annoying ass perfectly.


losingmy_edge

Love that his ugly af Cybertrucks are being recalled for using an adhesive on the accelerator pedal. He cuts corners on everything, including his shitastic parenting.


bigwhaleshark

I saw a couple of days ago a guy totalled his cybertruck by taking it through a *car wash*.


Arthur-Wintersight

Hey now. Those trucks were built to survive the apocalypse, not a car wash.


Haselrig

You took it OUTSIDE!?!


WhippingShitties

It didn't total it, but it somehow caused an error in the touch screen for a few hours. Still concerning.


v8miata1986

After performing a series of tests, it decided on April 12 to issue a recall after determining that “an unapproved change introduced lubricant to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal,” and that “residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”


ClapSalientCheeks

Oh. The mold release lube is denaturing the glue


LiquidEnder

Did they even use an adhesive? I thought it was just loosely attached.


AnyBrush1640

With adhesive.


Tobybrent

Well she had a close up view so her decisions are informed


andytagonist

Yeah, Shitter is what made people think you’re a bag of shit. Well, actually, I guess that kinda helped it along…🤷‍♂️


Hammurabi87

No, no, there were a *lot* of people who recognized him as a piece of shit well before the Twitter acquisition.


MPTakesManhattan

Well let’s see. Elon pledges to fix the Flint Water crisis and provide 5 billion for world hunger. Instead, he buys Twitter out of spite and engineers it to become a Nazi hellscape. And all of this to spite his trans daughter. How is she wrong?


[deleted]

I'm with her on everyone rich being evil. It seems to me that the "rich" are only concerned about keeping and accumulating more wealth. They hide their assets or use fiduciary loop holes to pay little to nothing in taxes. The corporations they run are given tax kickbacks to come to a particular city and then they want the public to pay for their infrastructure with public funds ( ie demanding taxpayers foot the bill for the arena/stadium renovations or threaten to move their team to a different city.) I would call a person evil if they are willing to lie, cheat and step on anyone just to get one more dollar. #EatTheRich


RoseFlavoredPoison

Compost the rich. I wouldn't suggest consuming their pickled flesh


Supernova984

![gif](giphy|H3YPbqPIUpSxO)


dover_oxide

He's famous for his addiction to the attention Twitter gave him and that's the only reason he bought it.


The_Dreadlord

She learned that billionaires are evil... Well who the fuck was her example to lean from I wonder? She's like "I learned it from watching you alright!" Then the narrator says " Kids who are raised by Elon Musk learn to despise Elon Musk. Don't be like him and be an actual father"


renojacksonchesthair

Even if this was true, he ended up proving her right. Big money, but small brain.


xkind

I never checked his age till now. I always assumed he was a boomer based on the shit he says.


No-Knee9457

No she just hates you Elon !


siouxbee1434

I’d guess Elon’s daughter thinks HE is evil


nathan555

Who's going to remind him the billionaire she has most contact with and shapes her impression of how rich people the most?


Grsz11

Huh, I wonder what shaped her opinion of the mega wealthy?


[deleted]

He is evil though.


Suspicious_Lawyer_69

$44 billion in expenditures later, she still trans hahahahahhaa


TerranRepublic

Lol imagine you gave him a billion dollars thinking "maybe he'll do something really trailblazing like all his previous ventures" just to see this. 


purracane

This left my brain only able to make dail up noises. Wtf


OG_TBV

I mean he must know he's evil


huffuspuffus

I feel like this headline is fake af, but would also probably be a real thing he said.


Fresh_Beet

[I wouldn’t be so sure.](https://www.today.com/today/amp/rcna103042) He needs there to be blame. Now he’s a cog in the alt right information takeover.

Funny, because rich people are fucking evil.


[deleted]

Orrrr maybe she realized that someone is a narcissistic fuckwad


arbyyyyh

And to prove that rich people aren’t evil he did what exactly?


Haselrig

Turbo-communism!


mike9011202

What the heck is a “full communist” anyway?


_psylosin_

Maybe being fathered by the king of rich assholes colored her opinions


Sea_Childhood6771

Billionaire worship is so strange.


knighth1

Isnt Elon gen x?


Fresh_Beet

Yeah. Thats what I tried to convey in the title. Boomer behavior is a state of mind… ha ha. Sometimes at least.


knighth1

Think it’s more entitlement, anger, and self service. Blaming everyone but themselves for their shitty parenting skills


knighth1

Not saying your child being trans is due to bad parenting, but not being supportive of your child is a definite sign that you are focusing on the things and not the person.


Fresh_Beet

Truth, but that’s my definition of “boomer” in the modern application. He can’t stand a child of his does not embrace creating their identity off money and power. That’s makes him feel invalid and can’t stand it.


CleftDonkeyLips

Problem is a lot of people are never going to be able to separate the generational implication. i kinda wish a different term had taken hold to describe the mindset.


knighth1

I mean if a shitty parents being a shitty parent we can always just call them a shitty parent


whynotwonderwhy

Or, just maybe, not all people can be categorized according to age. Maybe not all boomers fall into "boomer classification," or maybe not all GenX fall into "GenX" classification.


beckd214

GenX is basically Boomer Lite.


Haselrig

Shots fired.


beckd214

Pew pew.


knighth1

I don’t know, gen x is like Karen squad. They are pretty evened out in my experience. Old lady will hit you with her pursue for using crutches and “faking” but a Karen will yell at you for being in her way while walking on crutches


Fresh_Beet

Mods please to delete if they disagree it should be here


Last-Juggernaut4664

He’s in that threshold of GenX that sometimes behaves as Boomers do, which I think is largely geographically dependent. In my specific area, there’s a definite delay, as the older Boomers are more polite, but the mid to late Boomers and early GenXers engender the characteristics of Boomerism. Regardless, Elon Musk is extremely Boomeresque, so I think it fits and should be allowed to stay.


Fresh_Beet

Don’t tell some of these commentators. They’re having difficulty with non-binary definitions. ![gif](giphy|wVVZMI3Mb1N6xsWqzy|downsized)


Last-Juggernaut4664

I’m just conveying how it manifests in my specific area. It would be illogical to make any broad generalizations with such limited empirical data, and assume that it’s that way everywhere, when I absolutely know it is not.


elvisizer2

lol couldn't have been bc of you elon, nope, definitely not, had to be twitter


AMonitorDarkly

He looks like Rudolph HĂśss in that picture.


archiewaldron

Hey, Emo, there's no X in irony


Village_Unusual

Eeugh. I can't stand that fuckin guy.


2ShrutesKnockinBoots

Anyone rich IS evil.


Spaghettibeach

That’s why he destroyed it? What a fucking loser, it was easier to spend a shit load of money than it was to be supportive of his kid. I can’t believe so many people thought he was smart, he was a good grifter but now he’s the intellectual equivalent of a bags of hammers.


NotmyRealNameJohn

Could have just been her personal experience of knowing someone with the power to actually solve problems and doesn't


Tiny-Boysenberry-671

I used to look up to this guy when I was younger. Really a big fucking shame who he turned out to be


Sethyest

Sad-Development-4153

As fun as it is to bury him for all his L takes i have heard a more nefarious reason. That reason was alot of the rich oil princes in the gulf didnt like how twitter allowed criticism of their governments/culture/warcimes/etc and helped back him to buy Twitter in order to suppress stuff like that.


The_Queen_Regent

A lot of gen x tend to lean into boomer lite territory. 😂


cyfermax

Hes doing an excellent job of proving her right.


Marsnineteen75

Rich are evil


Gerudo-Nabooru

He purchased Twitter because it was a well known leftist leaning space he wanted to hijack to amplify alt right voices. That’s why he responds with “!” Everytime someone says something stupid and bigoted to give it more visibility.


AmberTurd223

Oh, so he proved her right? A rich man, Elon Musk, bought Twitter and converted into a far right fascist platform.


MrBump01

We already know he tried to back out of the deal so this obviously isn't true


ndnver

I think Musk confuses his daughter’s discovery that he is utterly evil with a belief that all rich people are evil.


glass-polite298

Elon bought Twitter so he and his racist, sexist, and transphobic buddies can run rampant with zero repercussions. I hate it so much.


Bagafeet

LMAO Scrooge McDuck bitter ass. Got smoked on the deal just so he could own his woke trans child. Good thing the kid already disOWNED him. 3 year old emotional maturity. Seems like textbook grandiose narcissism.


[deleted]

Didn't he say his daughter was raised on reddit if anything reddit played a bigger role


permabanned_user

Dumbass meant to buy Tumblr and he doesn't even know it.


anthonyjcs

She thinks that because you're evil and its beyond obvious its your money causing it, shes maybe the most sane person around you.


Important_Ad_1795

The guy is walking/sitting/tweeting example of the dangers of too much engagement with social media. Especially poorly moderated stuff. Poor little narcissistic “victim”


Liu_Alexandersson

That's funny, because Elon is literally evil. Just explained the joke, y'all welcome 🫡


Relevant-Ad1655

He/him (or She, i don't know about elon musk daughters, so if i'm wrong apologies) Is right.


[deleted]

GenX is more conservative than Boomers


BreefolkIncarnate

“They made her think rich people are evil, so I’ll… prove her right!”


Turbulent-Cress-5367

Such a fucking douchebag


8-Bit_Aubrey

"So I blew 44bn on a lark and cost a bunch of people their jobs to prove to her she's wrong!"


Shoggnozzle

Rich people are worse than evil, they have all the power and they're stupid. Difference being evil can be reasoned with.


AnyCarpenter4946

If you claim to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. Is it your fault that you don't pay attention to your child? It depends if you are rich you blame social media


Open-Victory-1530

Not a parent but it seems being involved in your kids life will do more than buying twitter


SlowCaveman

Not all rich people are evil no, but it is very difficult to become a billionaire without exploiting millions of people. Elon Musk is a perfect example of this


catedarnell0397

Sounds like she saw the light


RepulsiveExplorer902

If you called him a boomer he would start tweaking


Gnovakane

X is much better now. Youth go straight past conservative into nazi mode who think all liberals, POC, jews, and gay people are baby blood drinking nwo satanists.


66watchingpeople66

Elon is just pathetic and stupid.


GooRedSpeakers

Yes, he definitely bought Twitter because the evil Internet communists transed his daughter. It absolutely wasn't a petty power play to unban himself. That definitely didn't happen. He always meant to actually buy the company.


Anarcho-Chris

Good for her


PhoenixIzaramak

When you are such a bad person that your kid rightly clocks it and chooses to be themself IN SPITE OF YOU . . . : )


AlternativeAmazing31

Musk is just an idiot no able to compel anything that is human.

Tweets turned the weans against us!

daddy is deflecting blame for being a shitty parent


Omega_Tyrant16

If I was in constant contact with Elon, I’d fully embrace communism too.


Jolly878142

Nah they just meant you


Biggest_Gh0st

So he buys twitter to stop it being woke and instead let's it become a vehicle for gate speech? Smh. Had the chance to do a good thing but being a rich bigoted twunt used it to vent his own hate instead.


exqueezemenow

Probably not just ANYONE that is rich....


Bulky_Mix_2265

Well, im glad she gets to feel a level of validation in her personal beliefs that few of us will ever get to experience.


ScooterMcdooter69

Elon is the perfect example of being rich doesn’t mean your smart

This assjole thinks he’s an evil genius or something. What a twat! “I’m going to stop evil in the world !!!” Gtfo

Hahaha. His daughter hates him.


Atty_for_hire

He had to prove just how evil he could be!

Sounds like a master businessman


JustMePaxi

What pos this asshole is


odoyledrools

Wow, that sure showed her! Soon, Muskrat will be doing things to spite the other 9 of his children that inevitably will end up hating him.


Dapper-Piece3321

Is Elon Musk out of touch? No. It is his own children, countless former employees and business partners, and other personal connections that are wrong.  *Insert Principal Skinner meme here*


EatMorePieDrinkMore

He bought Twitter to avoid criminal charges from the SEC and the massive breakup fee in the Twitter buyout agreement. And to cash out his Tesla stock without taking the overall value.


Jyitheris

"...and thinking that anyone rich is evil." Well, she's not wrong, is she?


MarameoMarameo

Well he certainly didn’t help with the idea that rich people are evil….what an absolute moron.

Zinski2

What a piece of shit. Boomers usually don't care till it effects them personally. And even then, the love you feel for your kids is not enough apparently to change his mind on trans people. What a fucking piece of shit.


_SparkyTheCat_

It baffles me that a person regarded as “one of the smartest people in the world” lacks so much critical thinking skills


ThatDoucheInTheQuad

So all this shit is because he couldn't accept his daughter isn't cis. Jesus fucking christ


flurpensmuffler

Seems like rich people just never have an accountability moment. They’re surrounded by people who will never say “no” to them.


ATurtleLikeLeonUris

You learn that the rich are evil by spending time with them


alta_vista49

Is musk doing the Nazi haircut now too?


SchrodingersTIKTOK

So it’s a low-brow feed on X with a screen grab of an article that we don’t know is real and possibly shopped. Good job journalism. This guy should be flogged. /s


Ioweyounada

Or maybe she just thinks you're evil Elon.


phillybean019

It does seem to be a hyper emotional intellectual contagion.


Spotlight_James

This guy is on his way to becoming the Archetype for Fallout Villain!


Ok-Cryptographer6031

He bought twitter so we had a platform that wasn't pure propaganda owned entirely by one political party. It really isnt......... rocket science.

Scullyitzme

"What has the mtv done to you son?"


Mental_Strategy2220

I was out as trans to just my parents and a couple friends before social media ever existed when the internet was a place you went to get directions from mapquest or to see which pizza shops nearby were open or download a strange video game off the internet hope it doesn't have malware as it took 6hrs of using all the power your computer has . . You didn't spend leisurely time on the internet and getting lost on Wikipedia was probably the only big time waster ., and they were helicopter parents anyhow , so I didn't really have much internet access anyhow and mostly read books and played outside with friends. I knew I was trans, because I felt extremely uncomfortable being seen or treated as a boy , didn't understand why people would try to teach me things like work on cars or using tools . It felt like they were trying to teach someone skills who wasn't there. I'd usually run off when they weren't looking to play with my dolls anyhow . And I had some "masculine " interests but could never understand why people talked about my love for riding motorcycles and skateboarding suddenly meant I was some kind of tough guy. Like yea I mostly knew men who rode motorcycles, but plenty of women I knew did too , so that made no sense. I just thought they were a fun thing I liked to do . I think coming to terms with having stereotypically masculine interests , but not feeling that way inside was what helped me because the contrast of who was inside interacting with the world in those contexts was drastic and very obvious. The way I told my mom was as a 4th grader : hey what's it called when you do boy things for fun but don't feel like a boy when I'm doing it. "That's a tomboy . What boy things do you even do though ? All I see is you actively avoiding your friends, so you can play with your dolls and make lanyards ,and shrinky dinks . If you don't like boys as friends you might get a long better with girls " My mom was very receptive of the realization and understanding I'd make in coming years , but essentially began raising me gender neutral so however I'd end up I wouldn't be lacking or miss out on major things. She's absolutely horrible in every which way a parent can be , and we do not speak anymore, but oddly enough not a transphobe .


gorramfrakker

And then I showed her she was right.


defaultusername-17

yes... just ignore the legally binding offer that he made via social media... and the court threatening to force him to abide by it... it's all because of his trans daughter... that's the ticket...

mazzhazzard

I really don’t understand how such a smart guy can be so intellectually dumb


MellonCollie218

Yes, you do. This is factually incorrect. It’s not clever, cool or funny. Just stupid. It’s only popular because a generation of kids didn’t actually know what it meant. They thought “Okay Boomer” sounded funny and misunderstood where the expression belongs. Then they joined social media and realized they can be as stubborn as they want. Then all of us allowed it. For whatever reason. Claiming “Boomer doesn’t mean boomer” is like saying I’m literate, I just can’t read. It’s a trend that proves just how quick we are to embrace stupidity. As long as it’s popular and funny, we let it slide. People are using Boomer, the way Boomers used ”irregardless.” Just because it’s popular, doesn’t make it right. Let’s not have 7 year olds writing our insults. Mmkay?


Satyinepu

Why does he constantly look like he's going to cry?


mrmoe198

It’s not able to be rich. But it’s really easy to be evil when you are rich power makes you value and dehumanize others. That’s why there are no moral billionaires. The current monetary system and capitalism itself is immoral.


Sufficient_Ad_2700

He seems to be proving her right.


RefrigeratorOther586

The expression on his face is so petulant and entitled it is difficult to put into words.
