Thrice-divorced wealth hoarder Elon Musk took to Twitter over the weekend to prove, yet again, that he doesn’t understand anything about trans youth.As the father of a trans daughter, one would hope he’d have educated himself at least a bit, but clearly the “pronouns suck” thinking that pushed her away is here to stay.This latest incident started with right-wing disinformation account “American Accountability Foundation” misinterpreting a section of a Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) research day booklet.They posted this excerpt with a misleading tweet:The @MUSCkids has four year olds coming through its transgender hormone clinic.And hopes: “In the future, hopefully more patients and at younger ages will be referred to affirming providers so that medical options such as pubertal suppression”https://t.co/EXnvgnv8vv pic.twitter.com/UILYvsosbi— American Accountability Foundation (@ExposingBiden) September 16, 2022Musk quickly responded to this with “Is it really true that four-year-olds are receiving hormone treatment?” For the record: Such a claim was made nowhere in the original material.Related: Elon Musk just reminded everyone why his trans daughter wants nothing to do with himBasic fact-checking and/or common sense would lead anyone to understand that no, hormones that aren’t present yet in children can’t be replaced.
The richest person alive apparently does not possess such skills.Thankfully, there are plenty of folks who’ve witnessed his weird, transphobic BS long enough to call it out on the spot.Let the dunking commence:No, but now idiots will think it is.
You suck, man. https://t.co/zXSj6Sokpr— Alex Halpern (@HalpernAlex) September 18, 2022I have always wanted to ratio Elon Musk— Clara Sorrenti.
