pronouns
This website is not intended to ridicule Elon Musk, but rather highlight the harm to society caused by billionaire oligarches by showing why it is unwise to place so much power, influence, and admiration into the hands of a man who clearly appears to be a narcissist and clearly appears to have the mental abilities of an arrogant selfish bullying eight year old boy.
Musk has made his opinions on self-selected gender pronouns clear on multiple occasions. This includes posting that he was not a fan of self-identifying pronouns “when someone is giving every possible visual cue for he or she, but then still insists on telling you exactly what you expect.” Another notable instance occurred when he mocked the situation by posting, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” a jab at the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, who has been targeted by conservatives for his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. —Elon Musk’s most controversial moments, The Week, 18 Oct 2024

Dr. Fauci politicized the response to AIDS/HIV on behalf of President Ronald Reagan, resulting in the deaths of half a million Americans, mostly gay men. Dr. Fauci politicized the response to COVID on behalf of President Donald Trump (resulting in 467,954 deaths) and President Joe Biden (resulting in 795,034 deaths as of 31 aug 2024).
Musk’s former partner, singer Grimes, also weighed in. Following the tweets, she asked him “to turn off his phone or to give her a call,” NME said, adding, “I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn’t your heart.” —Elon Musk’s most controversial moments, The Week, 18 Oct 2024
