THE MUSK EFFECT FOR HUMANITY

Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of Elon Musk, has publicly accused her father of using sex-selective in vitro fertilization (IVF) to ensure the birth of male children. In a recent post on the social media platform Threads, Wilson expressed that her assigned sex at birth was treated as a commodity, stating, "My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for." She elaborated on the challenges she faced due to expectations of masculinity, adding, "So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold." Wilson further questioned the legality of such practices, writing, "How the f**k is this legal." Elon Musk has fathered 14 children with four different women over the past two decades. Notably, at least five of these children were conceived through IVF and were assigned male at birth. This approach has led to discussions about Musk's "engineering appro...

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has found himself at the center of yet another controversy—this time involving an alleged salute gesture that has sparked widespread debate online. In response to the backlash, Musk appeared to take a lighthearted approach, attempting to defuse the situation by turning it into a joke. The controversy began earlier this week when a video clip circulated on social media, showing Musk making what some interpreted as a controversial salute during a public appearance. While opinions were divided, critics accused Musk of using a gesture with troubling historical associations. Supporters, however, argued it was being blown out of proportion. Rather than issuing a formal statement or apology, Musk took to his platform X (formerly Twitter), sharing a tongue-in-cheek remark aimed at his critics. "If this keeps up, I’ll need to invent a new salute. Suggestions welcome!" Musk posted, followed by a string of laughing emojis. The tweet, typical of Musk'...

  A recent video featuring Elon Musk's 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, during a White House press conference with President Donald Trump, has gone viral, sparking widespread speculation about the child's remarks. In the footage, X Æ A-Xii appears to say something to President Trump, leading many social media users to interpret his words as, "You're not the president... you need to go away," or "I want you to shush your mouth." However, these interpretations remain unverified. Fact-checking sources, including Snopes, have analyzed the video and concluded that the child's comments are largely indecipherable due to overlapping conversations and unclear audio. Therefore, any specific claims about what X Æ A-Xii said to President Trump are speculative. In response to the video's circulation, Grimes, the mother of X Æ A-Xii and former partner of Elon Musk, expressed her concerns on social media. She stated, "He should not be in public like this. I di...

Elon Musk's net worth has experienced a significant decline since the beginning of 2025, primarily due to substantial drops in the stock values of his major companies, including Tesla and X (formerly Twitter). In 2025, eight tech billionaires, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, collectively lost approximately $266 billion, with Tesla's stock dropping by 45%. Tesla's sales have declined in the US and globally, influenced by several factors including Musk's political activism causing consumer backlash, a transition towards robotics and AI, inventory issues, anticipation for new models, and increased competition. In February, US sales dropped by nearly 6%, with Cybertruck and Model 3 sales falling the most. Additionally, X's valuation has decreased significantly. One year after Musk's acquisition, company documents related to employee restricted stock grants showed the company had estimated its own valuation at about $19 billion, down about 55% from Musk's p...

When it comes to buying a Tesla, not even being the mother of the world’s richest man will get you a discount. Maye Musk, the 76-year-old model, dietitian, and mother of Elon Musk, recently confirmed that she paid full price for her Tesla vehicle—just like everyone else. In an interview that’s making waves, Maye revealed that despite her close relationship with Elon, she wasn’t offered any special deals on her Tesla. She emphasized that Elon’s strict “no discounts” policy doesn’t bend, not even for family. His philosophy? “Everyone’s family.” Translation: No one gets preferential treatment, and everyone pays the same price, whether you’re a stranger or his own mom. But Maye isn’t bitter about it. In fact, she seems to find the policy charming. She reportedly smiled and said, “That’s cute,” when asked about paying full price. It’s a testament to the Musk family’s unique dynamic—where fairness and principle trump favoritism, even at the family level. Elon Musk’s approach to pricing at...

March 12, 2025 — Electric vehicle giant Tesla is facing a sharp downturn in the Australian market, with sales plummeting by more than 70% in February 2025 compared to the same month last year, according to newly released automotive industry data. This significant drop follows a 33% year-on-year decline in January, marking Tesla’s lowest monthly sales in Australia in two years. Industry analysts point to intensifying competition from rival EV brands such as BYD and MG as a major factor behind the slump. Experts also suggest the decline may reflect a broader normalization in electric vehicle demand after years of rapid growth. The trend isn’t isolated to Australia. Reports indicate Tesla is seeing similar slowdowns in other key markets, including Germany, where sales have tumbled by as much as 75% in recent months. As the global EV market evolves, all eyes are on how Tesla plans to respond to these mounting challenges.
