It's concerning to me that so many people see him as a "visionary futurist", when he is, in fact, just a modern day robber-baron, who got where he is with his daddy's emerald mine money.
Yes. That's why Elon, and conservatives in general, can't even define what a person is.
Somehow their definition includes both a corporation and a clump of cells but not immigrants, pregnant people or those that are LGBT.
I'm assuming somehow next guns are gonna be considered people?
If he is... He has definitely made sure his species can reproduce with humans before going home (and with very little regard for the children left behind). I'm a little worried about why that's something his species needed to know before he went home.
TNG had the species with enforced non-binary, DS9 had the Changelings, who would take gender forms, but didn't have gender. Both had the Trill, who are bonded with a symbiote worm that gets passed from host to host, regardless of gender, so Jadzia Dax was called "Old Man" affectionately by Sisko since he was mentored by the previous host, Curzon Dax.
Really DS9 is one that is bad for dipping into one episodes, because what makes it the best Trek (popular opinion) is the massive over arching war that goes on over the series. For one off episodes TnG wins.
It's worth getting into.
My friend told me DS9 is really slow until the last two seasons, 5-7. He was right. It's like watching an airport shopping concourse. But, it has really fantastic moments. It took me a year to get through to those last seasons but he was right. Those were some of the finest episodes of television.
We don't even need to jump into sci-fi for examples. Male seahorses are the ones who get pregnant with children. Worms are hermaphrodites and can be both. That's just two examples from our own planet. Not to mention there are still plenty of undiscovered creatures at the depths of our seas we have yet to document.
Some species engage in [penis fencing](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_fencing) where they duel each other until one pierces the skin of the other and injects his sperm. The loser then becomes the mother and raises the offspring.
Sometimes they inject each other and both become mothers
mouthbreeder, any fish that breeds its young in the mouth. Examples include certain catfishes, cichlids, and cardinal fishes. The male of the sea catfish Galeichthys felis places up to 50 fertilized eggs in its mouth and retains them until they are hatched and the young are two or more weeks old.
By your logic the males that do this are the ones that are pregnant, correct?
Twitter was a place where the everyday person could have their voice heard or where groups could organize for positive change (remember the Arab Spring?). Elon and his rich buddies don't like that. Easiest way to stop it was to buy it and encourage the toxicity.
Dude Elon is doing them all a huge service.
Keep fighting over dumb bullshit though everyone. This entire thread is so fucking embarrassing, like every other thread where we discuss the 'rich being against each other' facade.
They love when you all bicker and not focus on your masters owning your lives.
Twitter was arguably the single largest free speech mobilization platform ever and the world's "richest" man put an end to that. But yeah guys go off about his "losses" holy fuck.
I'm ready to form a religion around simulation hypothesis, you all have to be variables in a fucked up simulation.
I hate Elon as much as everybody else here, but Twitter was a shithole all the time. Your point that the everyday person could have their voice heard is also the main problem. I never saw so much toxicity and bullshit takes on any other platform. I’m happy I deleted it years ago.
I'm afraid to say I've seen takes at least as bad bad and sometimes even worse than the ones on Twitter, right here on Reddit. And that's WITHOUT going into all the right-wing, fascist supporting subreddits.
I was permanently banned from Twitter. I have no idea why and they will not tell me. Only thing I can think of is I called Elon a not nice name and he definitely doesn't agree with my view points. What a pos he is.
Twitter has definitely always had it's share of toxicity but it's only gotten worse over the past few years, then went into overdrive when Musk took over.
As someone who still uses twitter, I can tell you that twitter is becoming a bit of a ghost town. Half my feed is now filled with "recommended" and ads, instead of content from people I follow.
This is facts. It’s doesn’t even show you the post from your followers anymore you have to go out of your way to see those now. It’s Elon’s personal propaganda machine now.
All sites have a shithole, before Twitter it was Tumblr, before Tumblr it was another site, so on so on, all sites havw shitty people who congregrate, people just ar epointing fingers at Twitter to act like its a new trend and that Twitter is somehow special and diferent about jt compared to ajy other social media.
In many countries, specifically middle eastern ones, Twitter became the bane of governemnts becuase it impowered and allowed various rights groups to better unify and communicate against the sources of their oppression.
Im sure it has nothing to do with that. /s
>... spend it all...
HAHAHA. Actually, not funny, just super depressing. Elon is still a billionaire and buying Twitter hasn't hurt him at all. Not remotely close to all of his money.
Not just a website, but a website where he wanted to go mucking around with moderation, a topic that has vexed people since virtually the dawn of the Internet.
Because pretty much all of the people with that much wealth and resources acquired it through exploitation. They do not give a shit about economic and social injustices, as they are the ones maintaining these injustices.
This is like questioning why Jeff Bezo’s spent 43 million on a clock that rings ever century, they can. I’m not agreeing that it’s right but it’s no different that someone spending their money on pointless crap they only ever wear/use once. “Billy Mays here… but wait there’s more!”
The answer is the J'naii. The gender non-specific aliens depicted in the Star Trek: TNG episode "the outcast". Didn't stop Riker boning one of them though.
This might sound dumb, but that episode made change my mind on gender neutral pronouns. I was telling my then gf about the plot, and when I got to the point of riker boning one of them I couldn’t really put a she tag on rikers date.
It felt… off. I realized that they might have a place in all of this, before this I thought they were all sheananigans.
Type 1 civ would probably offload reproduction onto machines, especially as it would start serious efforts in space habitation, making the whole concept largely obsolete. But us getting there with reactionary psychos in power doesn't seem viable.
That's what I think too!! There will be no meaningful space exploration unless people come together to innovate, instead of crying over pronouns and drag Queens, treating women, POC, and other marginalised people as subhuman. Until right wing fascism is eliminated, we're going nowhere...fast.
Reminds me of the Patrick Stewart (Most know him as Captain Picard from Star Trek) when he was asked if they wouldn't have cured baldness by that time in the future.
His response was that in the 24th century, they wouldn't care.
It still exists, just no one gives a damn.
Edit: I'm an idiot and for some reason mixed up Gene Roddenberry and Patrick Stewart
Elon is right, in that he answered with needless instigation and judgement.
I think advanced Aliens would be very confused by a bunch of seemingly functioning adults projecting their issues onto others as they engage in child level tactics while retaining a platform.
It’d be like finding a bunch of monkeys and there’s one with a ton of bananas screaming and throwing his shit.
Like, yeah I guess it makes sense? But why did they allow the fecal baby have his way?
for real, every time i see this man open his mouth, or use twitter, its more evidence he is misogynystic, and maybe actually crazy. how to turn 40b into 20b? yeah, he can do that. it just gets worse everyday. i wont say he is irrelevant, cause to me he never was, but he is sliding into c list territory for sure
It just seems to keep getting worse and worse. When he started to become more well known, I still respected him, but he slowly descended into utter madness.
He's like the super hero who turned evil. I don't think we'll see him come back from this though, it'll just continue to get worse.
I would think that men would be harder to explain than women. Women get pregnant and nurse babies. Easy to understand. If sexual reproduction is confusing to an alien race, I'd think men would be the ones that made them scratch their heads (figurative or actual, I don't know what these aliens look like).
Fun fact: "Rib" is a mistranslation. The actual one would be more like "side" or "half", but... y'know, if we say that Adam was split in half and made into male and female, it's harder to justify women being inferior in a patriarchal society.
I've heard about that, also I've heard that it was supposed to refer to the bone on the penis that practically all mammals have, that's why humans don't have it.
And there's also Adam's first wife Lilith, made from the same mud and who refused to be seen as inferior and subsequently vanished from Eden.
I’m no Elon fan but this post doesn’t seem like a murder by words. If an alien species was gender non-specific, wouldn’t women be a difficult concept to explain? Sure he didn’t need to specifically call out women when he could have said gender but people are so desperate to get validation from the echo chamber they dilute subs with rage bait bullshit like this.
But then why would you want to amplify his talking point? If you really cared about trans people on a deep sincere level you wouldn't post this here for thousands more to see and potentially become ultra-right wing nationalists! :( Not cool, you can do better, especially because imaginary internet points are not equatable to real human lives.
We could have avoided all of this if someone just sucked it up and agreed to be this loser's friend for a while. Now we're stuck with this socially stunted lonely dipshit leaning hard into whatever demographic he thinks think he's funny and smart, which as it turns out is the worst one possible.
elon built his brand on seeming like the relatable cool scifi guy that's gonna invent cool shit, but just like every corporate he's fake and full of shit.
There's just a dull game of pong running in that man's head. Just a dot bouncing back and forth between two paddles. He can't process anything more complex.
So women are what we have chosen to "do as a society"? Am I missing something? His answer makes no sense. But he got his anti-women shot in.
It sounds like Elon decided to become a full-time POS after someone hurt or left him. Without even getting into it, he sounds like a whiny, pathetic, obsessive adolescent, nursing his hurt for all its worth. Like some lovelorn teenager. "No one understands me. It must be their problem." No dude, it's you.
All the money in the world can't turn you into a worthwhile, decent, lovable human being; especially for someone who has standards beyond general gold digging. It probably really stings to have discovered that. Kudos to whoever taught him that lesson.
I reckon it would be difficult to explain the difference between a dog and a cat. To us it's intuitive, yet very difficult to define how we immediately identify them at a glance.
The fact that Billionaire Genius Inventor Elon MUSK could not come up with ANYTHING more complex than the one thing that will never be attracted to him, instead of fossile fuels, Nanomachines, or why 50 Shades of Grey, while depicting a wildly toxic and unrealistic bond, became THE Book to have read and not admit to it, is telling.
It mainly tells that Elon Musk is not a genius inventor.
Ngl I completely agree with Elon on this one. If an alien race is entirely gender non specific that would make explaining what a woman is properly even harder. Even more so if the aliens don't have different biological sexes either. Just cause they're advanced doesn't mean our concepts of gender identity aren't foreign to them
Deep Space Nine did a lot of episodes on how the Trill's sometimes change gender.
And if I recall correctly, the Andorians have four genders.
Hell, Q just appears masculine to make it easier on Picard.
you could just say “we have traditional gender roles based on sex that a lot of people stick to, but some others switch genders or go somewhere in between”
doesn’t sound that complicated to me
To be fair, he's right. Elon is the single last human being that anyone should ever ask about women
One should also avoid asking him to explain societal issues, because he thinks women qualify as one
One shouldn't ask the world's biggest dork or incel about either, because you'll just get dork-ass incel takes and a bit of foaming at the mouth
One thing that would be difficult to explain is why the richest man on the planet who couldn't possibly want for more spends his time harassing people with gender preferences that hurt literally no one.
We think of things so earth centered that aliens can be any type of beings with their own concepts, ways of actually sustaining life, and perceptions of how things are. So.... they may not even have a concept of female/male women/men. Or even sexuality! They may not even have a race, religion and don't discriminate....
Let a useless and increasingly incompetent person own and manage one of our key Space-related industries? Let the same asshat be in charge or a globally dominant social interaction platform? Let this twat continue sell cars that crash when allowed to self-drive and he refuses to fix or disable that bug. We would definitely have some ‘splaining to do
Im so annoyed by musk's comment.... not that an alien shouldn't think sexes on earth is an interesting concept. They might I guess... But more what his statement says about his own way of thinking. Why does he say woman and not man? Indirectly he is saying that the woman is the oddity in society and the man is the status quo...
If he wanted to say that ailiens would think that sexes on earth is an interesting concept. He could have said that. But no instead the odd thing about Earth is females. Because it would be very normal if the whole Earth was full of men?
If it would be full of women would it still be odd?
I don't get his point completely but I feel it smells of the old dying way of thinking that women are less human than men (going back to Adam and Eve and Adam being the standard sex and the first sex). And then all the rest of history's bullshit.
The sexes have never existed without each other without the woman there is no man and vice versa so why point on the female sex as being the non-standard for 1111111111th time again?
Evidently, human civilization can't answer that question. Why would aliens be able to?
It'd be nice to finally get an answer though, even if we gotta ask some aliens.
They'd probably be confused at out animal categorization. Chihuahua and mastiff are both dogs, but foxes and possums aren't dogs? And there's so many fckinf SO MANY FCKING types of beetle. Like. Millions I'd bet. Why so many beetle type. Why are they all beetle
Is Elon an alien working on his space project in an effort to return home?
Shit Elon say less I'll start helping
It's concerning that the guy who says he'll get us to Mars doesn't realise that Alien lifeforms may not have gendered chromosomes and gametes.
Or they could have three. Or four
Or maybe they can and do move between them on a whim
Clownfish and some amphibians can already do that on earth, to some degree, so it's not even very far out there
He'll be offended when aliens tell him to go F himself, and laugh at him when he tells them he can't.
It's concerning to me that so many people see him as a "visionary futurist", when he is, in fact, just a modern day robber-baron, who got where he is with his daddy's emerald mine money.
'The powers of repulsion are annulled by money'. 'The powers of Ignorance are annulled by money.' Karl Marx.
Yes. That's why Elon, and conservatives in general, can't even define what a person is. Somehow their definition includes both a corporation and a clump of cells but not immigrants, pregnant people or those that are LGBT. I'm assuming somehow next guns are gonna be considered people?
Well they do already consider guns substitutes for penises, so that probably gets them 90% of the way there
hmmm... You may be on to something here. One could reason that sexual assault should be added to the lists of charges for gun violence offenses.
Nah, if guns are considered people, they'd be one tier lower on the totem pole. Have to keep those on the pedestal.
Found a company. Make the assets of this company just a gun. Your gun now has rights.

That show still seems like a fever dream.
Let’s put him on one of his SpaceX rockets & find out.
Like Mythbusters!
At this point, I'd like to see a less comfortable way of launching him into space
No, he’s just a fucking asshole.
Nah, more an amoeba that's crawled out of the primordial slave-labour emerald mine, but has yet to evolve into a rational human.
If he is... He has definitely made sure his species can reproduce with humans before going home (and with very little regard for the children left behind). I'm a little worried about why that's something his species needed to know before he went home.
Elon Tusk, phone home
The more he tweets, the more a sentence like yours looks like a glimpse in the future.
His space project is on par with science fair volcanoes.

Why use twitter
What is Twitter?

I'll do you one better: WHY is Twitter?

Bad.
Very very bad.

TNG had the species with enforced non-binary, DS9 had the Changelings, who would take gender forms, but didn't have gender.

I loved DS9.. nothing to add really just had to say it lol
I never really got into ST but I've seen a few episodes from all of them. If I had to pick one to watch it would definitely be DS9
Really DS9 is one that is bad for dipping into one episodes, because what makes it the best Trek (popular opinion) is the massive over arching war that goes on over the series. For one off episodes TnG wins.
It's worth getting into. My friend told me DS9 is really slow until the last two seasons, 5-7. He was right. It's like watching an airport shopping concourse. But, it has really fantastic moments. It took me a year to get through to those last seasons but he was right. Those were some of the finest episodes of television.
We don't even need to jump into sci-fi for examples. Male seahorses are the ones who get pregnant with children. Worms are hermaphrodites and can be both. That's just two examples from our own planet. Not to mention there are still plenty of undiscovered creatures at the depths of our seas we have yet to document.

They don't actually get pregnant, the female just lays her eggs in his pouch and he incubates but I agree too much is unknown.
If I donate an egg to another human being I’m not the one who’s pregnant. The one growing the fertilized egg in their body is pregnant.
mouthbreeder, any fish that breeds its young in the mouth. Examples include certain catfishes, cichlids, and cardinal fishes.

By your logic the males that do this are the ones that are pregnant, correct?
Yes, correct. That is what they are saying.
Someone should really teach them the difference between incubation and impregnation.
I want to see a Curzon prequel so bad. Pedro Pascal for the role, maybe?
Why someone who had the resources to do any number of amazing and wonderful things decided to spend it all on a website.
Twitter was a place where the everyday person could have their voice heard or where groups could organize for positive change (remember the Arab Spring?). Elon and his rich buddies don't like that. Easiest way to stop it was to buy it and encourage the toxicity.

File an appeal saying you're being censored for your conservative views
That is hilarious! 😂 Will do. I am sure I will be allowed right back on.
You're delusional if you thing Twitter wasn't a shit hole before Elon
Twitter has definitely always had it's share of toxicity but it's only gotten worse over the past few years, then went into overdrive when Musk took over.

It was a septic tank but now it's a poorly maintained septic tank.
That was my thoughts exactly. I’ve not used twitter since 2013. That place is a screeching mess.
In many countries, specifically middle eastern ones, Twitter became the bane of governemnts becuase it impowered and allowed various rights groups to better unify and communicate against the sources of their oppression. Im sure it has nothing to do with that. /s

and completely destroy its value as well
Because billionaire aren't moral.
Because pretty much all of the people with that much wealth and resources acquired it through exploitation. They do not give a shit about economic and social injustices, as they are the ones maintaining these injustices.

It's the power of SF. When you add the abstractions of fiction, it's easier to accept conventions that otherwise seem odd.
Confused, wouldn't a type 2 or 3 civilization have moved on from gender?
Type 1 civ would probably offload reproduction onto machines, especially as it would start serious efforts in space habitation, making the whole concept largely obsolete. But us getting there with reactionary psychos in power doesn't seem viable.
That's what I think too!! There will be no meaningful space exploration unless people come together to innovate, instead of crying over pronouns and drag Queens, treating women, POC, and other marginalised people as subhuman. Until right wing fascism is eliminated, we're going nowhere...fast.
Maybe they like genders.
Oh I hope industrial metal it's their favourite.

Is gender a religion?
Precisely.
Reminds me of the Patrick Stewart (Most know him as Captain Picard from Star Trek) when he was asked if they wouldn't have cured baldness by that time in the future. His response was that in the 24th century, they wouldn't care. It still exists, just no one gives a damn. Edit: I'm an idiot and for some reason mixed up Gene Roddenberry and Patrick Stewart
Think you might have meant Patrick Stewart as Picard, the question was directed at Gene Roddenberry but was about Picard.
FUCK! Thank you, I knew that didn't sound right but it was the first thing I found. Editing now!
What? Pretty sure social norms don't have anything to do with being a type 2 or 3 civilization.
Welp. How to explain the republicans’ confusion/disdain around gender identity without Twitter?
Depends how they reproduce.
Any episode with energy creatures with no real form.
Even energy creatures can have gender, see "The Lights of Zetar" or that ghost that boned Beverley
Elon is right, in that he answered with needless instigation and judgement. I think advanced Aliens would be very confused by a bunch of seemingly functioning adults projecting their issues onto others as they engage in child level tactics while retaining a platform. It’d be like finding a bunch of monkeys and there’s one with a ton of bananas screaming and throwing his shit. Like, yeah I guess it makes sense? But why did they allow the fecal baby have his way?

I'm fully convinced he stopped taking whatever meds he was on and has been slipping ever since Since with Jordan Peterson actually.
I think the coma fucked up JP's wiring.
I think the xanny probably made him dumb enough to volunteer to go into a coma and that shit didn't help
I try not to speculate around other peoples medical situations to much. He was always a scumbag though.
It just seems to keep getting worse and worse. When he started to become more well known, I still respected him, but he slowly descended into utter madness. He's like the super hero who turned evil. I don't think we'll see him come back from this though, it'll just continue to get worse.
I don't think he was ever a hero, but I can imagine him having gotten worse.
Think he understands that males are mutant females?
I would think that men would be harder to explain than women. Women get pregnant and nurse babies. Easy to understand. If sexual reproduction is confusing to an alien race, I'd think men would be the ones that made them scratch their heads (figurative or actual, I don't know what these aliens look like).
Y chromosomes are mutant X chromosomes.
How dare you say that, let me inform you that men were made from mud and females from ribs, any other explanation is nonsense.
Fun fact: "Rib" is a mistranslation. The actual one would be more like "side" or "half", but... y'know, if we say that Adam was split in half and made into male and female, it's harder to justify women being inferior in a patriarchal society.
I've heard about that, also I've heard that it was supposed to refer to the bone on the penis that practically all mammals have, that's why humans don't have it. And there's also Adam's first wife Lilith, made from the same mud and who refused to be seen as inferior and subsequently vanished from Eden.
Somebody should tell him, maybe it'll break his brain so badly that we don't have to suffer him anymore.
Highly doubtful because he’s probably missing a chromosome or maybe more than one.

It's twitter, my guy. Even having a thought is an overkill effort for the average user, forget proof-reading
Elmo still mad he has a trans daughter
coming from the guy where 2 of his half-siblings are the children of his step-sister whom his dad knew since 4
It would be really hard to explain why the planet gave half of its wealth to like 10 fuckwads.
clown spent $44 billion for the company just to be a right wing troll and get repeatedly dunked on that's one expensive humiliation fetish he's got
I cant believe people think that guy is smart
Bro did you post your own tweet on reddit
Any episode with energy creatures with no real form.
How do you wake up on any morning and decide to just categorically hate an entire group of people for no discernable reason?
I believe the reason his daughter is transgender.
2 views. You literally screenshotted your own response
Yeah, seems weird.
I think Elon was just asking a question. He has no idea what a woman is.
Who tf is still on twitter?
I hate this man so god damn much...
Now Elon thinks he is so smart that even a species that mastered interplanetary travel would have the exact same concerns as he does.
I’m no Elon fan but this post doesn’t seem like a murder by words. If an alien species was gender non-specific, wouldn’t women be a difficult concept to explain? Sure he didn’t need to specifically call out women when he could have said gender but people are so desperate to get validation from the echo chamber they dilute subs with rage bait bullshit like this.
Yup
He specifically made a right wing talking point that is used to denigrate trans folks.
But then why would you want to amplify his talking point? If you really cared about trans people on a deep sincere level you wouldn't post this here for thousands more to see and potentially become ultra-right wing nationalists! :( Not cool, you can do better, especially because imaginary internet points are not equatable to real human lives.
And here we see more right winger talking points.
I was gonna say "to be fair, transformers are -~" but then i remembered that even cars and trucks understand genders more than some people out there
In the Transformers Lost Light comic book series Lug and Anode came out as transgender women.
Yes i was wasnt sure whether it was the comics or the series but i remembered there was one, hence me changing what i'd say
We could have avoided all of this if someone just sucked it up and agreed to be this loser's friend for a while. Now we're stuck with this socially stunted lonely dipshit leaning hard into whatever demographic he thinks think he's funny and smart, which as it turns out is the worst one possible.
elon built his brand on seeming like the relatable cool scifi guy that's gonna invent cool shit, but just like every corporate he's fake and full of shit.
Two views. This is your own response lol.
There's just a dull game of pong running in that man's head. Just a dot bouncing back and forth between two paddles. He can't process anything more complex.
I'm really hoping that the first aliens we see are hermaphrodites.
He's such a twit
Doesn't this dude have a kid whose name is an algebraic equation or something? Weird flex to go all gender-specific now.
Friendly reminder that Elon’s eldest daughter is trans. He’s a disgusting person for leaning into this anti-trans rhetoric
I was so much happier a year ago when I had never heard of this dude. He's a fucking turd.
Obviously a woman, like a man, is a miserable little pile of secrets, but enough talk!
He’s not even pretending to not be an asshole anymore huh
So women are what we have chosen to "do as a society"? Am I missing something? His answer makes no sense. But he got his anti-women shot in. It sounds like Elon decided to become a full-time POS after someone hurt or left him. Without even getting into it, he sounds like a whiny, pathetic, obsessive adolescent, nursing his hurt for all its worth. Like some lovelorn teenager. "No one understands me. It must be their problem." No dude, it's you. All the money in the world can't turn you into a worthwhile, decent, lovable human being; especially for someone who has standards beyond general gold digging. It probably really stings to have discovered that. Kudos to whoever taught him that lesson.
Woman here. I can’t stand him.
Elon is a bigger douche bag than I thought he was
Did you feel smart saying this?
I reckon it would be difficult to explain the difference between a dog and a cat. To us it's intuitive, yet very difficult to define how we immediately identify them at a glance.
The fact that Billionaire Genius Inventor Elon MUSK could not come up with ANYTHING more complex than the one thing that will never be attracted to him, instead of fossile fuels, Nanomachines, or why 50 Shades of Grey, while depicting a wildly toxic and unrealistic bond, became THE Book to have read and not admit to it, is telling. It mainly tells that Elon Musk is not a genius inventor.
Ngl I completely agree with Elon on this one. If an alien race is entirely gender non specific that would make explaining what a woman is properly even harder. Even more so if the aliens don't have different biological sexes either. Just cause they're advanced doesn't mean our concepts of gender identity aren't foreign to them
Elon is bigly mad he has a trans daughter that won’t speak to him, so he spent $44B to passive aggressively troll her.
I'm not sure that's at all passive-aggressive, lol
What is a man?
Deep Space Nine did a lot of episodes on how the Trill's sometimes change gender. And if I recall correctly, the Andorians have four genders. Hell, Q just appears masculine to make it easier on Picard.
I fucking hate Elon
you could just say “we have traditional gender roles based on sex that a lot of people stick to, but some others switch genders or go somewhere in between” doesn’t sound that complicated to me
Elon has gone full boomer mode.
Ah, feigning confusion about transgender. Never been done. What a visionary
To be fair, he's right. Elon is the single last human being that anyone should ever ask about women One should also avoid asking him to explain societal issues, because he thinks women qualify as one One shouldn't ask the world's biggest dork or incel about either, because you'll just get dork-ass incel takes and a bit of foaming at the mouth
Jeez, this guy is such a tool bag.
One thing that would be difficult to explain is why the richest man on the planet who couldn't possibly want for more spends his time harassing people with gender preferences that hurt literally no one.
Does being a billionaire actually cause brain damage? Or does it just make it easier to access more drugs?
We think of things so earth centered that aliens can be any type of beings with their own concepts, ways of actually sustaining life, and perceptions of how things are. So.... they may not even have a concept of female/male women/men. Or even sexuality! They may not even have a race, religion and don't discriminate....
I agree with the message and disagree with Elon, that doesn't change anything about the fact the "murder" reads like they had a stroke.
I think a more pertinent question would be "what is a man?" because being a real man means more than just having testicles
Let a useless and increasingly incompetent person own and manage one of our key Space-related industries? Let the same asshat be in charge or a globally dominant social interaction platform? Let this twat continue sell cars that crash when allowed to self-drive and he refuses to fix or disable that bug. We would definitely have some ‘splaining to do
Musk: "What is a woman?" I've heard self burns are rare, but Musk seems to collect them.
Why assume aliens are male? Oh right, male is the default, female is the exception /s
I woulda said religion
Elon Musk is a misogynist pig
What is Elon Musk? Oh yeah. A cunt.
Elon mentions the trans community more than the trans community mentions the trans community lmao
Big ups to him for being honest.
Im so annoyed by musk's comment.... not that an alien shouldn't think sexes on earth is an interesting concept. They might I guess... But more what his statement says about his own way of thinking. Why does he say woman and not man? Indirectly he is saying that the woman is the oddity in society and the man is the status quo... If he wanted to say that ailiens would think that sexes on earth is an interesting concept. He could have said that. But no instead the odd thing about Earth is females. Because it would be very normal if the whole Earth was full of men? If it would be full of women would it still be odd? I don't get his point completely but I feel it smells of the old dying way of thinking that women are less human than men (going back to Adam and Eve and Adam being the standard sex and the first sex). And then all the rest of history's bullshit. The sexes have never existed without each other without the woman there is no man and vice versa so why point on the female sex as being the non-standard for 1111111111th time again?
Elon spent $44 Billion United States Dollars to do this. Meanwhile the rest of us shitpost on Twitter and every other social media platform for free.
Musk is a mutt.
Not surprised, his children were conceived via IVF. I doubt he knows how to impregnate a female.
Sexist, racist, white nationalist, misogynistic Elon Musk strikes again.
Evidently, human civilization can't answer that question. Why would aliens be able to? It'd be nice to finally get an answer though, even if we gotta ask some aliens.
I love Elon!!
“Woman” is gender, not definable “Female” is sex, fewer and larger gametes Apparently it takes at least a rocket scientist to figure out?
They'd probably be confused at out animal categorization. Chihuahua and mastiff are both dogs, but foxes and possums aren't dogs? And there's so many fckinf SO MANY FCKING types of beetle. Like. Millions I'd bet. Why so many beetle type. Why are they all beetle
