Elon Musk blames elite LA school for brainwashing ‘communist' trans daughter into hating him for being rich
2023-09-01
[NYP] Elon Musk said that "neo-Marxists" who have taken over elite schools and liberal universities are to blame for the fact that his 18-year-old daughter wants nothing to do with her uber-wealthy dad.

"It’s full-on communism . . . and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil," Musk told the Financial Times on Friday when discussing his estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who recently changed her legal name to avoid being associated with the Tesla CEO.

The mogul did not single out any particular college or reveal which one his daughter is attending.

"It [the relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others [children]," the father-of-nine said. "Can’t win them all."

#8  That plus other things is why I don"t hire college grads.

I hire those with real world experience, college degree or not.

#7  Most teachers are dolts who are easily manipulated and prone to socialist ideals.

That's because they've enjoyed what is basically a state monopoly on their 'business'. Give parents viable options and those what actually care will take them. Those who don't - well, why should I care.

#6  From my perspective the whole education system is a hive mind. Very few buck the prescribed path. Elon is correct that they’re neo-Marxists intent on teaching empowerment through victimhood, hatred of the traditional family and hatred of this country. Most teachers are dolts who are easily manipulated and prone to socialist ideals. They are generally spineless and weak. I’ve stopped giving money to my alma mater as I refuse to help fund the madness.

#5  When a kid commits suicide after being repeatedly bullied at school, the school board and faculty, who knew of the bullying and had often ignored repeated complaints about it, circle the wagons and say "Wadn't us." But bring the trans angle in and they start screeching about how anyone who doesn't go along with the "gender affirming" dogma will "have blood on their hands."

I know leftists are inconsistent hypocritical, but it still bears contemplation.

#4  Box of diplomas says it was an op.

Theory is they target the child of a mover and shaker, peer pressure them into a series of altered behaviors eventually leading to the trans, where they can muscle the parents into the program, "Live trans or dead child" pitch. Parent is now recruited.

#3  Not even the richest man in the world can avoid the curse of ungrateful children.

A story for the ages.
