What does this have to do with antisemitism? Are you assuming that Jewish people sterilize kids and that must be what Elon is on about? To me, it is incredibly odd to make that leap. [/quote]

DP...  it doesn't have anything to do with antisemitism but it does show how far off the deep end Elon Musk is.  If I were on the board of Tesla or his other companies I'd be pushing to have him step down and go in for psychiatric treatment.[/quote]

Like anything else, if you view that tweet in isolation, it looks very odd and paranoid. But if you read the surrounding tweets, he lays out his concerns about recent California legislation requiring that parents affirm a gender transition.

In fact, this is the majority position in the US. It's not even on partisan lines, it's just the mainstream view: https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3991685-majority-of-americans-oppose-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-trans-women-participating-in-sports-poll/amp/

This is in no way similar to Kanye's unhinged rants, nor is it antisemitic or bigoted. Lots of parents who love and support their trans kids choose not to use puberty blockers, and it's not bigoted of them.  It's their choice about what's best for their kid's health.

All it says is that Elon Musk can walk it back when he says something unhinged.

I mean what the hell was that feud with the rescuer of the kids trapped in a cave in Thailand?  He wanted them to use his submarine and they didn't.  Normal people would just let it drop. Why did he have to make attacks, call the rescuer "pedo guy"? Unforced error. Yes he survived his defamation trial but because he convinced the jury it was a joke and he deleted the tweet. But it does not explain why their lack of interest in his submarine ended up in a twitter feud. Not normal.

Also not normal is for the Chairman of a company to claim he is taking the company private and declaring "funding secured" when in fact it was not. This cost his company money and cost him the chairmanship. A normal chairman knows what securities fraud is. This is securities fraud.

But the worst is probably the fact that he did not really want to buy Twitter, but was forced to do so.  Because he made a $44b bid that waived due diligence.  Unheard of for any significant transaction. And that more than anything else shows the depth of his problems. Every single thing he does with Twitter is due to the fact that he put himself in a financial hole by overpaying, and now he is desperate to keep twitter from falling into the hands of the bankers.[/quote]
