Here's the text for those who'd rather not visit threads.net:

There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet. This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me

This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said “eh- good enough” in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.

I did not have a “love of musicals & theatre” when I was four, because y’know… I was fucking four. I did not know what these things were. My earliest real experience with musicals was when my twin brother had a hamilton phase in 8th/9th grade and overplayed it so much in the car to the point where for a long time I swore off the entire genre.

I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them “fabulous” because literally what the fuck. I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate… I was four. Like this is so obvious I don’t even think it warrants explanation but apparently people believe this nonsense so here I am.

This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness. Obviously he can’t say that, so I’ve been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general.

As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me. Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass✨

Answering another user, she adds:

gotohitori2: extremely shocked to hear this dbag is a liar. hope you're not too bothered by what he says about you 😭

vivllainous: I’m not lol. I’ve just started to find it funny at this point. Calling me dead on a podcast with JORDAN PETERSON of all people while basically admitting you have zero reading comprehension by saying you were “tricked” into signing documents that you read over multiple times is basically a parody of itself. Like it’s honestly camp-

@vivllainous@threads.net is that really his child? I didn't even know he had any, much less twins. Are both twins trans?

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He has the Nick Cannon mindset and has like 12 so far, with 3 different women.

Most of his kids are through IVF and surrogate. Musk's kids and birth mothers

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago

He gets it from his dad, Errol, who believes it's every man's duty to make as many babies as possible. Elon's relationship with his dad ended when his dad started a sexual relationship and impregnated Elon's step sister. 🤮

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don't understand why he requires IVF or a surrogate mother. Is he impotent without the help of science?

And wtf, he has a lot of kids!

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wont go into the ethics of it, but you can do highly sophisticated genetic selection with IVF embryos. This allows you to reduce chances of certain physical and mental conditions in your child. I read an article about the popular reception of this procedure earlier https://hms.harvard.edu/news/study-reveals-public-opinion-polygenic-embryo-screening-ivf

Im assuming that Elon might want to do something like that but maybe i might be completely off.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tl;dr: some GATTACA-type shit?

I just read the summary of the movie and yeah that might become an issue if we arent careful. Im hesitant to completely denounce the concept tho, because its basically just selective abortion and who am i to interfere with a persons individual rights to abortion?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just looked at the article linked above, looks like his first kid died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at 10 weeks.

I can totally understand taking any possible precautions to never experience such thing ever again. It must be traumatic to any person

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There's no known exact cause, only risk factors, of which natural insemination doesn't seem to be one (according to wikipedia).

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah but it might give little bit of peace of mind + can be bought with money

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The current theory I heard is that at that age, baby brains might not be perfect at automatic breathing. They simply stop breathing while asleep.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

I remember him making the news because he named one of his kids something dumb and unpronounceable.

I know identical triplets, and only one is trans.

I know a lot about HRT, but science doesn't really know why people are trans in the first place.

Hormone replacement therapy. The main component of medical gender transition.
