Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Isn't one of Elon's kids transgender? I'm sure even the nazi bar owner is a bit concerned about his kid's safety at some point.
Edit after additional thought, my guess is Elon sees having a trans kid as a personal failure so the constant reminder probably tears up his incredibly fragile ego.
Yes and she disowned him pretty much the moment she turned 18.
He, having been extremely anti-trans ever since his ex left him for Chelsea Manning, would never defend his daughter or even stop misgendering her.
And I've said for a while now that you have to be an exceptionally shitty father for your daughter to disown you despite you being one of the richest people on the planet.

Agreed, but she went out of her way to let him know she did not want to be associated with him at all. She wanted it entered into court records. She also did it very soon after turning 18.

She could have just broken contact with him and hoped he'd still put her in his will, but he was such a complete douchebag of a father that she said, "fuck you and your billions."
Absolutely! She gave up SO much material comfort and luxury to get away from him! He must be just as awful as a dad as he seems to be as a person online.
Good on her for getting away from that toxic man-child, though! Can't have been easy but is probably worth it!
