Elon Musk has been pushing radical, proper wing conspiracies on Twitter since he purchased it, however he’s additionally endorsed convicted felon Donald Trump whereas nonetheless attempting to say he’s a centrist. Elon helped push that “cats and canines are being eaten in Ohio!” lie that made Donald Trump look so deranged final evening throughout the debate.
So final evening after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz within the 2024 election and signed off with a dig at Trump working mate and awkward doughnut misogynist JD Vance calling herself a âchildless cat woman,â Musk appeared compelled to supply his personal ideas.
âWonderful Taylor ⦠you win ⦠I will provide you with a baby and guard your cats with my life,” Elon tweeted at 12:46 AM.
Elon has been attempting to get Taylor’s consideration for some time and he or she has ignored him prefer it’s her full time job. It in all probability feels prefer it, anyway.
So when he tweets that he’ll “give her a baby” he’s not providing something consensual. He’s providing to do one thing she has expressly made clear, so clear that Swifties have instructed him to go away her alone, she doesn’t need.
The girl can have nearly any man she needs. She doesn’t want a person for energy or cash. What would Elon provide? No, don’t reply that. Let’s not.
The responses to his tweet inform us concerning the intention, even when there are individuals sheltered sufficient to not perceive the implied creepiness of it. One of many responses by a blue examine Trump supporter is, “Taylor Swift has 0 sexual power. No surprise why she will be able to’t preserve a person for lengthy.”
How are you aware you’re the chief of bizarre, creepy incel group?
When your followers attempt to console you on your provide to take sexual benefit of a girl who doesn’t need you might be met with the absurd concept {that a} beautiful world pop star has no sexual power. Although to be honest, this account’s different feedback are issues like (my “@” edit), “That might be a good way to kick off an introduction to an AA assembly. “My title is Kroot, and Kamala’s ret@rdation made me hit the boxed wine. I’m now an alcoholic.”
That’s the stage of “humor” that worships Musk. It’s bizarre, right-wing, unhappy, loser power. The precise sort of power that thinks an adjudicated rapist needs to be president.
There are actual world penalties to this type of angle. Musk’s SpaceX paid a flight attendant $250,000 to settle a sexual misconduct accusation after he allegedly provided a her a horse for an intimate therapeutic massage.
After which in June of this 12 months, eight former SpaceX staff sued the corporate and its CEO Elon Musk, “alleging that Musk personally ordered their firing after they accused SpaceX of tolerating sexual harassment within the office”:
The lawsuit alleges that Musk âruns his firm in the dead of night ages â treating girls as sexual objects to be evaluated on their bra dimension, bombarding the office with lewd sexual banter, and providing the reprise to those that problem the âAnimal Houseâ surroundings that in the event that they donât prefer it they will search employment elsewhere.â
One plaintiff stated she complained to HR a couple of male colleague repeatedly mentioning sexual matters to her, together with inviting her to a intercourse get together. HR took no obvious motion and he was promoted.
One other plaintiff, engineer Rebekah Clark, stated within the lawsuit that she heard feedback about breasts at work after Musk made a sexually charged touch upon X. She raised her issues to SpaceX managers at a gathering in 2022 and was instructed âSpaceX is Elon and Elon is SpaceX,â in accordance with the lawsuit.
SpaceX denied all of those claims and a girl vouched for a way fantastic Musk is, which is sort of a inform in relation to any sexual harassment go well with.
There’ll all the time be a girl who speaks up for the accused, and infrequently instances, that lady was happy to obtain the identical remedy from a strong man and/or is resentful they weren’t the goal. Sure, sexual harassment and assault carry out the worst in patriarchy-aligned girls. Stabbing different girls within the again is a worth they’ve embraced as a part of their perception system that solely those that are chosen by the patriarch win.
Ladies are sometimes deployed as cowl for males accused of sexual misconduct, as a result of the pondering is, if one other lady thinks the accused is nice, then he should not have ever performed these unhealthy issues. That is as fallacious as pondering that since you weren’t robbed by a robber, they can not have robbed anybody else.
Irrespective of how that lawsuit seems, and billionaire richest man on the planet Elon is much more Teflon than Trump in relation to the regulation, what the proof being introduced forth suggests is that the issues Elon spews on Twitter replicate his actual world insurance policies and ripple out into the actual world. They aren’t informal jokes; they’re the tradition he invitations.
So his tweet about giving Taylor infants, although she has a boyfriend and has by no means been concerned about Musk, has a menacing implication. The tweet is a response to her free speech; her endorsement of the political candidate she prefers.
Musk makes a variety of noise about free speech, it’s the justification he makes use of for permitting a CSAM sharing account again on the platform, for instance, however when a strong, lovely lady like Taylor Swift makes use of her free speech on one other platform, Musk reduces her to a sexual object for use for birthing — an idea over which he shares his obsession somewhat too steadily for consolation.
Sexual objectification of ladies is inherent within the present darkish coalition of proper wing energy. Identical to Trump tries to scale back Kamala Harris to her magnificence and her previous romantic life, Musk sees Taylor as an object to be conquered when she speaks up. In actuality, Swift is a world energy with a military of actual Swifties who see proper by way of Musk’s weirdness over Taylor.
Males like Trump and Musk take refuge amongst their very own type, as a result of different males gained’t have them. That’s why Trump is surrounded by males accused of assaulting girls. Like attracts like, water seeks its personal stage, and one factor is obvious: Neither of those males ought to have government-sanctioned energy over girls and women.
