Back in April, Elon Musk's teenage daughter, who identifies as trans, officially changed her name.
She said she did so to avoid being "related to my biological father in any way, shape or form," according to court filings.
Now, in an interview with Financial Times, the billionaire Tesla founder has explained why he thinks his daughter and he are estranged.
Elon blamed the way students are being taught in colleges today. "It's full-on communism — and a general sentiment that if you're rich, you're evil," Elon said.
Elon then brought up his other nine children. "[The relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others."
"Can't win them all," he added.
People were rather perplexed with the whole situation:
Omg Elon Musk blames his trans daughter cutting ties with him on 'the neo-marxist takeover of schools' holy shit lol
elon musk’s shtick as a whiny conservative makes a lot more sense when you realize it’s just because he’s mad his daughter won’t talk to him anymore. “can’t win them all” oof
Others brought up his spotty track record with trans issues, like when Elon tweeted, "Pronouns suck," and "Pronouns are an esthetic nightmare."
Elon Musk’s trans daughter disowned him after his years of transphobic tweets and he thinks it’s because of Marxist schoolteachers in the school he financed and constructed for her education
remember when billionaire celebrity Elon Musk was posting transphobic jokes on twitter to his million followers while his girlfriend publicly begged him to stop? The reason he was posting transphobic jokes to his legion of fans is that his teenage daughter is trans.
