Mid Atlantic Tesla Light Show

Next Friday, come one, come all… and bring your Tesla. Because on Friday, 18 October, at the Frederick Airport, we’re going to try and break a record. How many vehicles will we have when we record this record of this spectacular. Still on the fence? Don’t worry, the Airport is opened for us, and we are even excited to have a special guest! None other than the Simon Pollock, the creator of the…

Elon Musk‘s trans daughter Vivian is NOT done putting him on blast!

As you may have seen, the 20-year-old has been calling out her billionaire father over some nasty claims he’s made about her, such as saying she was dead to him after being killed by the “woke mind virus” after she transitioned following her 18th birthday. The whole thing has been super s**tty! And she’s not done clapping back!

On Sunday night, Vivian took to Threads to put author Walter Isaacson on blast for the way he portrayed her in his biography of the Tesla founder. She began:

“To Walter Isaacson, you threw me to the wolves in what was one of the most humiliating experiences of my entire life.”

Jeez.

She continued:

“Elon was your darling Tony Stark apartheid-american hero with a semi-tragic backstory who was saving the world and you were too f**king cowardly to write anything other than a sad excuse for a puff-piece. To further this goal, you portrayed me in a light that is genuinely defamatory and I’m not going to mince my words.”

And she didn’t!!! She dished:

“I was treated as a VILLAIN BACKSTORY-ORIGIN to excuse or explain away [Musk’s] behavior. As if my whole existence was nothing but an inconvenience to HIM. God bless the poor soul who abused his child, that must be so f**king hard for him. I was deadnamed, and misgendered for no conceivable reason and made to seem like I was just too stupid or too ‘communist’ or too brainwashed or too what-f**king-ever to understand the 4d chess behind the reasons I was traumatized.”

Vivian added that her identity was “trivialized,” noting:

“My identity was trivialized, my reasons for separation were misconstrued, and I was treated as naïve; stupid, unfairly unforgiving and unreasonably moralistic. Worst of all, this was the section that was released early as part of the ‘promo’ because you knew it would catch headlines as part of this culture war bulls**t. You knew that conservatives and ‘reactionaries’ would take this and run as far as they could with it to get clicks, or to smear my name for their own self interests.”

The book, Elon Musk, was published in September 2023 by Simon & Schuster, but an excerpt hit The Wall Street Journal weeks before the publication, in which the author said Elon’s “anti-woke sentiments” had been “partly triggered by the decision of his oldest child” to transition, referring to Vivian by the name she’d been assigned at birth.

Vivian now claims that she was never consulted over the book — despite it being fairly easy for Walter to get in touch. She argued:

“I was never asked, interviewed, or contacted to say anything for this poor excuse of pages you call a book. I know that you claim that you ‘reached out to me through family members’ but I found out about this thing’s existence literally a MONTH before it was released. So either you are completely f**king incompetent at the most basic aspects of your ‘job’, or you are weaponizing your own lack of effort to try to lift the blame off of yourself because you knew damn well what you were doing.”

She suggested that Walter “deliberately failed because [he] knew the angle [he] were going for, and that [her] testimony would’ve f**ked up [his] pretty little portrayal of an irredeemable human being.” Call him out!!! She continued:

“I was content to sit in my silence up until now and to be your queer villain. You knew that I was gonna be used as an example of ‘how the children are being brainwashed by the trans agenda’ because you did it yourself and then proceeded to blast it to every news organization to use as an ad to sell more copies. The fact that this book may have been used as justification by parents to not let their trans child obtain potentially life-saving medical treatment f**king HAUNTS me. It always will.”

Oof. That’s AWFUL — especially since she had nothing to do with this narrative! None of this is her fault, and yet it is still a nightmare, she furthered:

“I’ve been waiting on talking about this subject because it genuinely hurts so much to remember. That memory of sobbing my eyes out in a dormitory worrying that I didn’t have a future because of the damage this thing did to my reputation will forever stay with me. You, your editors, and your publisher are a f**king joke for letting this thing be released into the public. I had to see posters of this thing for MONTHS afterwards.”

She concluded by pointing out one major fact check he failed to do, clarifying that she goes by “Vivian” and that only her friends and mother Justine Wilson call her “Jenna.” She finished:

“If you genuinely knew what you were talking about that’s how you would’ve referred to me. It is genuinely impressive that you somehow managed to find a way to even f**k up my NAME. I think that goes to show how much research actually went into this. I am not letting this narrative continue any further.”

Wow. We cannot imagine how difficult this must be — and especially to be dealing with it on such a public scale. So stressful and traumatic! Ugh.

I love how one lady (Simone Giertz) turned a shitty Tesla into a decent truck five years ago that still runs fine and can do Normal Truck Things, but the company itself can't make a truck that can survive outside the factory for more than a week without killing, maiming, or endangering you and everyone else on the road with you if you buy one.

*Sees a thoroughly rusted Cybertruck abandoned by the side of the road*

Me: "Wow, how far in the future did we go?"

My time-traveller friend: "About two weeks."

Simone Giertz revisits (and upgrades) Truckla after five years In 2018, in anticipation of Tesla's Cybertruck announcement (remember how that went?), comedic maker, Simone Giertz, did a project that went global. She took a Tesla Model 3 and converted it into the world's first Tesla truck, dubbed Truckla. You may have wondered over the years what happened to Truckla (I did). — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/03/31/simone-giertz-revisits-and-upgrades-truckla-after-five-years.html

​She will help you find your better self.

​Beauty is only skin deep, but hair is a form of art, and she is Michelangelo, she is DaVinci and O’Keefe and Franzetta.  She sits at the intersection of sculpture and painting and fabric art, spinning her transitory wonders, and as long as you think you look perfect, she knows that you are.  She knows that for all of us, looking into the mirror and seeing what we expect to see can be the most powerful sacrament in a universe filled with benedictions.

​She is in the bleach and the blow-dry, in the shampoo and the set, and she attends most open-casket funerals, to make sure that even on our way out of this world and into the next, we aren’t ashamed to be seen.  All she asks is that we find a way to be ourselves, that we breathe in deep of the setting chemicals and the salon air, sweet with chemical processes and bright with overhead lighting, and consider who we most desire to be.

​Hair is forever transitory.  Hair can change, and no style is inherently forever.  So wear it the way that makes you happiest, and know that you do so with Simon’s blessing.  She has changed before.  She will change again.  To live is to change, in ways both large and small.  Hair keeps growing, no matter how perfectly it may be styled in the moment, and she wants you to grow.  Even if you grow away from her, she wants you to grow.

​She takes coffee with Tesla Jefferson at least twice a week.  She spends her evenings looking over swatches with Polly Chrome.  And she is happy.  Never let anyone tell you otherwise.  Simon is a happy god, and she wants that same joy for you, whatever it costs.

​Whatever it takes.

Just trust your stylist.

Roblox Games I think the brothers would play lol (except I don't know any modern games)

Lucifer

I think he would only play if you absolutely begged him to join you. Maybe he'd enjoy something like Kat, Car Crushers, Arsenal or Apocalypse Rising?

Satan

Cat simulator, cat tycoon, pet shop simula- okay no seriously I think he'd like Murder Mystery, Roblox Total Drama Island, Survivor (I think that game got deleted though sigh) or Bloxburg. I can see him building houses.

Asmodeus

Fashion Frenzy/Famous, Roblox Top Model, scented cons, RoBeats, Club Tesla (I don't think thwt exist anymore) and Bakers Valley. Just imagine him and you making little cakes all day lol. I think he would really like rhythm games like RoBeats ever since Solomon showed him them.

Leviathan

Speed Run 4, Build A Boat for Treasure, any of those anime games, Blox Fruits, Pokemon Brick Bronze (r.i.p) I think he'd like the competition and would def have gamer rage.

Beelzebub

Get Eaten, Get Crushed by a Speeding Wall, Plays Bakers Valley with Asmo, Work at A Pizza Place, Superhero Tycoon and Bee Swarm Simulator. I don't even know how to explain these it just makes so much sense to me lol

Belphie

Another Bee Swarm Sim and Work at a Pizza Place player, Simon Says, Meeo City but he just likes fishing and house decorating, Car Crushers, Would You Rather. Saw Lucifer playing car Crushers and that's how he found out what Roblox was. I think he'd like a variety of games though.
