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".

Muhammad Now The Most Popular Name For A Baby In Great Britain, Data Shows

427 years after William Shakespeare wrote it for the first time in the great "tragedy" Romeo & Juliet, England is asking the quintessential question - "What's in a name?" - And this time wondering what significance that question might hold in another 42.7 years. The Department of Statistics in the United Kingdom has revealed in its latest dataset that Muhammad is officially the most popular name for a newborn boy in England and Wales. More than 4,600 babies were registered with that name in 2023 - the highest for a boy. Muhammad was the second-most popular name in 2022 as well. Noah, once the most popular name in UK, came a distant second this year, according to the Office for National Statistics or ONS. But the staff at Great Britain's statistical office has in-fact been observing the trend for a while now. Jotting down the most popular names in the UK, besides other important statistics, it revealed that Muhammad has been among the top 10 names for...

US Issues $25-Million Bounty On Venezuela President On Day Of His Oath

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose nearly 12 years in office have been marked by deep economic and social crisis, was sworn in for a third term on Friday, despite a six-month-long election dispute, international calls for him to stand aside and an increase in the US reward offered for his capture. Maduro, president since 2013, was declared the winner of July's election by both Venezuela's electoral authority and top court, though detailed tallies confirming his victory have never been published. Venezuela's opposition says ballot box-level tallies show a landslide win for its former candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, who is recognized as president-elect by several countries including the United States. International election observers said the vote was not democratic. The months since the election have seen Gonzalez's flight to Spain in September, his ally Maria Corina Machado going into hiding in Venezuela, and the detentions of high-profile opposition figures and ...

It's Official, Kamala Harris Is Democratic Candidate For US Election

US Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party's presidential nomination Friday, confirming her remarkable rise to party standard bearer in November's showdown against Republican Donald Trump. Kamala Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month. "I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Kamala Harris, 59, said on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing enough votes by the second day of the marathon vote. In the two weeks since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Kamala Harris has gained full control of the party. No other Democrats stepped forward to challenge her elevation to the top of the ticket, making her confirmation as the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination a formality. The a...
