Grimes came into conflict with her tech boyfriend Elon Musk over the weekend after he proclaimed on Twitter that “pronouns suck”.
The engineer, who boasts over 37 million followers on the social media platform – oh, and a net-worth of approximately $70 billion – decided to use his power and influence to spew transphobic hate and sadly, it worked.
His tweet is chock-full of responses from anti-LGBTQ+ trolls claiming that they/them pronouns, which have been used as pronouns for centuries, are “ridiculous” and “unnecessary”.
One user wrote: “I have no problem with the trans community, but I will not force myself to call you something you are not. It goes against everything I’m for, and my religion.
