Elon Musk Celebrates Pride by Calling LGBTQ Identity a "Personal Choice"
Elon Musk Celebrates Pride by Calling LGBTQ Identity a "Personal Choice"-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:23

I have never seen a face that looked this uncomfortable

Elon Musk, the electric car #disruptor known for calling trans people’s pronouns an “” that “” and calling the fight for LGBTQ rights and support for Ukraine “,” has innovated in yet another sector: Avoidably awful ways to kick off Pride Month. Most companies and influential people prefer to voicing support for LGBTQ rights, but Musk has a new approach — calling the state of being LGBTQ a “personal choice.”

Initially, Musk tweeted out a link to , a study that rates various corporations on criteria like “Workforce Protections,” “Inclusive Benefits,” and “Responsible Citizenship.” The goal of the study is to commend inclusive workplaces, and establish a ranking of the best places for LGBTQ people to work. Tesla, it seems, earned a perfect score.

Of course, the question of how Tesla earned a 100-point score from HRC remains. That “Responsible Citizenship” criteria entails a 25-point deduction for any company with “a large-scale official or public anti-LGBTQ blemish on their recent records.” With for the , as well as , Tesla’s CEO could himself be considered a blemish on the automaker’s recent record. Though, maybe that’s just the viewpoint of what Elon calls “the .”

Musk has , but . His caught so many users off-guard that many LGBTQ+ people for fear of . Tesla itself has been within the company.

Musk seems to have wanted to join in the chorus of accounts ringing in Pride Month. Maybe what he really needed, after being earlier this week, was to simply log off.

For $14,900, This 1980 Chevy C-10 Might Just Wake You Up
Today’s Chevy pickup is the epitome of a sleeper, looking stealthily innocuous on the outside, while hiding a big block secret underneath. Together, it looks totally awesome, but will its price cause you to hit the snooze button? Seriously? A two-grand car with working A/C and new tires and you...

This 1991 Mercedes 350SD Asks $44,000, Is Originally From Texas.
The seller of today’s Mercedes has based its price partially on his desire to fund another purchase, that of a Ferrari Testarossa. That’s perhaps not the best arbitrator of value, but then, wait ’til you see this Benz. Howard Hughes supposedly collected, among other personal intimates, jar upon jar of...

What Nobody Understands About The Subaru BRZ
In America, car culture seems to always be about the Big Numbers. Zero to 60. The quarter mile. Top speed. Nobody cares how a car actually drives, or the experience it delivers, or how it makes you feel, just how it puts down the Big Numbers. This is why the...
