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.

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.

More DRC Info:
This is an older article, but I'm pretty sure it's the one Simone alludes to in the video.
The lawsuit argues that Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla all aided and abetted the mining companies that profited from the labour of children who were forced to work in dangerous conditions – conditions that ultimately led to death and serious injury.
The families argue in the claim that their children were working illegally at mines owned by UK mining company Glencore. The court papers allege that cobalt from the Glencore-owned mines is sold to Umicore, a Brussels-based metal and mining trader, which then sells battery-grade cobalt to Apple, Google, Tesla, Microsoft and Dell.
Other plaintiffs in the court documents say they worked at mines owned by Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, a major Chinese cobalt firm, which the lawsuit claims supplies Apple, Dell, and Microsoft and is likely to supply the other defendants.
In the court documents, the Congolese families describe how their children were driven by extreme poverty to seek work in large mining sites, where they claim they were paid as little as $2 (£1.50) a day for backbreaking and dangerous work digging for cobalt rocks with primitive tools in dark, underground tunnels.

The Scry
Prologue
(Originally posted in January 2023. This is a repost to rebuild the master list due to broken links I cannot fix! thanks for understanding.)
Summary: A sales team working for a large B2B insurance company receives a n unexpected Christmas bonus - an individual with powers of precognition, or foresight. They are tasked with making their company's purchase a lucrative one. But what are the precognitives? Is there a human cost?
Precognition: 1.foreknowledge of an event, especially foreknowledge of a paranormal kind.
-
“A precognitive,” Max Kelly said into his phone. “You’ve seen them in the news. Precogs?”
“Hang on,” Simon muttered. Background noise he’d been yelling over faded until it was a muffled thudding of bass from behind a closed door. 
“Did you just tell me you were given a precognitive by work?”
“For work, by work,” Max answered, pacing his snowy back patio. The December cold felt good on his skin. “They’re just going to drop it off in my office tomorrow morning. Like it's a new headset.”
“Here’s a fucking precog,” Simon mocked in his best bureaucrat voice. “NBD. Jesus H., dude. Those things just hit the market. Like, just.”
“I know,” Max sighed. “I hadn't really been following all that, but I just speed-read a few articles.”
“There was that whole thing about them being used for like, gambling and day trading, right?”
“Yeah, yeah.” Max put his friend on speaker and scrolled the article he’d been looking at again on his phone. “Says here that ‘the precognitives, or precogs for short, are an exceedingly rare sample of the population, consisting only of an estimated three hundred and fifty documented cases worldwide. After a 2019 slew of US and Canadian arrests citing unlawful use of precognitive powers, the US government has released up to one hundred fifty precogs for private sale in all fifty states. Among the first to hit the market will be the repossessed precognitives of the former stock and casino fraudsters.”
“And Spartan scooped four of them? A hundred fifty for private sale anywhere, and we’ve got four?”
“That’s what the email said, yeah. ‘You and four colleagues have been selected to be part of an experimental trial’ blah blah blah, each of you will receive a precognitive for personal and professional use. They framed it like our Christmas bonus.”
“I got a fucking watch.”
“The whole email is so nonchalant, like it’s a goddamn software update. I’m supposed to figure out how this thing works and utilize it to make more money, is the idea.”
“Oh, without a doubt. You must’ve made top four performers last year, then.”
“Last quarter notwithstanding, yeah. Could be.”
“What happened last quarter?”
Max rubbed his eyes with his free hand. “Oh, I just… bombed. Lost a few of my accounts, whatever. The email said we can either leave the precogs in this weird little room they made up for them, or take it home with me at night. To my house. What, do they charge? Do I need to hook it up at night like a Tesla?”
Simon was quiet for a moment. “You’d think they would’ve donated these things to medical research, you know? Cancer, Alzheimers. They ban using them on wall street or in casinos and then turn right around and sell them to private corporations- to the highest bidder. They don’t give a shit about anything, man. This is a prime example of why we have failed as a society.”
Max looked out over the bleak outline of winter trees at the edge of the lawn. The light was failing, like turning a dimmer switch so everything turned hushed and blue as the inside of an igloo. “Sure. Regardless. It’s my problem now.”
“Maybe not problem. It might just work. I don’t know how you drive one of those things, but you might be able to make a killing. They can see the fucking future. I don’t even know what they are.”
“Me either.”
“They’re born, right? They can’t make them in a lab or anything like that?”
Max raised his hand and let it drop as if Simon could see it over the phone. “No idea. Email said handling, care, and maintenance is your responsibility but any costs incurred will likely be reimbursed by the company. I just have to fill out a form and send it to HR. There’s nothing online that I can find about how to use one. Or how to keep it.”
“Well it was government only, before. Who knows what they were using them for. Who else got one? Do you know?”
“Elle Davenport. Blake Olson. Uhh, that Alex kid. The blond one?”
“What the fuck,” Simon breathed. “He’s fresh out of school, I thought. South Carolina guy. Clair, is it?"
“Been with us a year,” Max mused. “Must be killing it.”
“Can I come by your office tomorrow? Can I see it?”
“Yeah, yeah. Please do, I’m… I have no idea what to expect. Do me a favor and don’t tell anyone else though. It’ll be a whole thing.”
“No way, I got you. How much did we spend on these things?”
“I don’t even want to know. Listen, I gotta go.”
“Yeah man, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Max hung up. The cold still felt good, but now it was making his fingers stiff and his nose red. 
He had no idea what he was walking into in the morning. He went back inside the warmth of the house. Ingrid was on her phone, the tv flickering white and blue across her features. 
“Simon,” Max said, nodding to his cellphone. 
“I think they’re just… human,” Ingrid murmured, scrolling with her thumb. “It’s all been very weird and hush-hush when they were government projects, probably because they didn’t want anyone interfering.”
“Sounds about right. Pesky little thing called human rights.”
She looked up at him, making a face. “So they’re just gonna give you a person? Are they paying them?”
“You don’t typically buy things to turn around and pay them.”
“Max…”
He huffed, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I get it, babe. I’m… baffled. Let’s just withhold our judgment until I see what they bring into my office tomorrow morning. It’s all I can do.”
“You could refuse it.”
“And then performer of the year number five gets it in my place. It won’t make a bit of difference.”
“Have you talked to your mom about it?”
“She’s a personal injury attorney.”
“Operative word being attorney.”
Max rolled his eyes. That’s all he needed, was to invite his mother to be involved in this. “Let’s hold off on that, too. Tomorrow this time I’ll have a better read on this whole thing.”
Ingrid set her phone on her thigh. “Bring it home. I want to see it.”
Max grinned at her. “You’re curious.”
“Of course I’m curious.”
“Mmmm. You talk a big game, but deep down you’re just nosy.”
She aimed a kick at his leg, missing on purpose. “Shut up.”
