Elon Musk Blames "Trans People" For Tesla Vandalism

Elon Musk has suggested that transgender people were behind the recent attacks on Tesla, blaming “hormone injections" for "extreme emotional volatility" among them. On X, Musk reshared a post that claimed three of the four people arrested for "vandalising Teslas" were transgender or non-binary.

"What are the statistics on trans violence? The probability of a trans person being violent appears to be vastly higher than non-trans. Hormone injections cause extreme emotional volatility. That is simply a fact."

In a subsequent post, the entrepreneur reposted an infographic, dated 2023, writing, "Wow, trans violence is EXTREMELY FAR above normal levels!!"

The tech billionaire's transphobic remarks came on the same day as his 20-year-old estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, called him a "pathetic man-child" in an interview with Teen Vogue.

Ms Wilson said: “I don't give a f**k about him. I really don't. It's annoying that people associate me with him. I just don't have any room to care anymore. He's a pathetic man-child.

"Why would I feel scared of him?… I don't give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations."

Ms Wilson said she learnt about Musk's remarks through the news and that she should "probably post about this and denounce it, which I have done a few times."

Referring to Musk's performance of a straight-armed salute at US President Donald Trump's inauguration, the 20-year-old said, "The Nazi salute sh*t was insane. Honey, we're going to call a fig a fig, and we're going to call a Nazi salute what it was. That sh*t was definitely a Nazi salute." “The crowd is equally to blame, and I feel like people are not talking about that. That crowd should be denounced.”

This wasn't the first time Ms Wilson spoke out against her father. Last year in July, Musk claimed on X that Wilson was "born gay and slightly autistic" and as a child, would "pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was ‘fabulous!'"

In a conversation with Jordan Peterson a few days later, Musk said his “son” was “killed” by “the woke mind virus".

"My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus … so I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that," he added.

His comments to Peterson effectively denied his daughter's transgender identity. In response, Ms Wilson accused Musk of spreading misinformation, claiming his X post was "entirely fake" and that “literally none of this ever happened".

US Has Agreed To Send More Bombs, Warplanes To Israel: Report

The US in recent days authorized the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel, two sources familiar with the effort said on Friday, even as Washington publicly expresses concerns about an anticipated Israeli military offensive in Rafah. The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, said the sources, who confirmed a report in the Washington Post. Washington gives $3.8 billion in annual military assistance to Israel, its longtime ally. The package comes as Israel faces strong international criticism over its continued bombing campaign and ground offensive in Gaza and as some members of President Joe Biden's party call for him to cut US military aid. The United States has been rushing air defenses and munitions to Israel, but some Democrats and Arab American groups have criticized the Biden administration's steadfast support of Israel, which they say provides it with a sense of impunity.

UK In 'Diplomatic Contact' With Syrian Rebels After Bashar Al-Assad's Ouster

Britain's foreign minister said Sunday that London had established diplomatic contact with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebel group in Syria, which led the offensive that ousted Bashar al-Assad. They remain "a proscribed terrorist organisation, but we can have diplomatic contact and so we do have diplomatic contact, as you would expect", said Foreign Secretary David Lammy. "We want to see a representative government, an inclusive government. We want to see chemical weapons stockpiles secured, and not used, and we want to ensure that there is not continuing violence," he added. "So, for all of those reasons, using all the channels that we have available, and those are diplomatic and of course intelligence-led channels, we seek to deal with HTS where we have to."

Released 2 American Hostages On "Humanitarian Grounds": Hamas

Gaza's ruler Hamas said Friday its armed wing has released two American hostages, from around 200 captives abducted in attacks by the militant group in Israel on October 7. "In response to Qatari efforts, (Ezzedine) al-Qassam Brigades released two American citizens (a mother and her daughter) for humanitarian reasons," Hamas said in a statement posted on Telegram. The Islamist group did not detail how or when the hostages were released. The Israeli military said earlier Friday that most of those abducted to Gaza were still alive. "The majority of the hostages are alive. There were also dead bodies that were taken... to the Gaza Strip," an army statement said. The military said more than 20 hostages were minors, while between 10 and 20 were over the age of 60. There are also between 100 and 200 people considered missing since the Hamas attacks, the army added. On October 7, the Palestinian militant group carried out a deadly assault on Israel, the worst in...
