#Musk links #trans people to #Tesla attacks the same day his estranged daughter critiques him in #TeenVogue interview

Story by Liam Reilly, March 21, 2025

"The same day #VivianJennaWilson, #ElonMusk’s estranged daughter, published her second-ever interview with a media outlet, the billionaire media mogul used his X platform to insinuate trans people are behind reports of attacks on #Teslas.

"During her interview with Teen Vogue, Wilson said she doesn’t “give a f**k” about Musk, calling him a 'pathetic man-child.'"

In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all #Cybertrucks

"U.S. safety regulators on Thursday recalled virtually all Cybertrucks on the road, the eighth recall of the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago.

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right side of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

"The stainless steel strip, called a cant rail assembly, between the windshield and the roof on both sides, is bound to the truck’s assembly with a structural adhesive, the NHTSA report said. The remedy uses an adhesive that’s not been found to be vulnerable to 'environmental embrittlement,' the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements.

"Tesla will replace the panel free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025.

"The recall of 46,096 Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 model years, manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025. The NHTSA order says that Tesla became aware of the problem early this year."

Quel dommage. Heh... "They basically want to kill me": #GOP efforts to turn #Musk into a #MAGA martyr are backfiring

Even #conservatives can't muster pity for a whining #billionaire coming for Granny's #SocialSecurity

"In recent weeks, there's been a deluge of protests and other actions geared toward making Musk's car company, #Tesla, a toxic brand, in response to the billionaire's often-illegal efforts to gut the federal government from the inside. The movement has been a big success. Tesla's stock price is falling and Tesla owners are trying to sell their cars off, even as the used market value is plummeting. But Trump is infatuated with Musk — even using the White House lawn as space for a de facto Tesla commercial — so the GOP and the MAGA media are, with visible reluctance, doing what they can to turn Musk into their latest martyr offered up for the plebes to weep over."

The dystopian "#FreedomCities" dream fueling #ElonMusk's destruction

Tech's plans for #BillionaireRule expose why Musk wants to end government by the people

"In our cynical times, most people are familiar enough with doublespeak to understand that anything called a 'freedom city' is likely to be the opposite. It's a sign of the delusional self-confidence in their own mendacious powers that the tech oligarchs who are financing this idiotic idea insist on going with that branding anyway. Investigative reporters Vittoria Elliott and Caroline Haskins published an in-depth report on this scheme for Wired earlier this month. What immediately becomes clear is that what the Silicon Valley billionaire class considers 'freedom cities' is simply neo-feudalism, a plan to end the concept of citizenship and make every working person a serf whose entire life is controlled by the whims of their boss."
