So maybe I’m stupid but… Why? Why does he feel he needs an excuse beyond “taxes are cheaper in Texas”? Like, it’s understandable that a business owner wants to reduce costs, and reducing your taxes is one good way to do it. The blowback from saying something relatively mild like “I want to pay less taxes” is going to be way less than the blowback of saying “I want to leave California because trans people have too many rights here” right?
I’m not trying to defend Musk or anything here, I’m just so confused why he’s going this route
How completely insecure must you be that you’re so afraid of trans people that you move entire factories to other states? That’s the noise of a fragile man baby.
most of their feeds are like “government spending 10 trillion dollars on trans awareness” “Illegal immigrants raze all of california and execute every white person”
Article bodies are then focused on how the $10 trillion are taxes stolen out of their wages and that the immigrants are coming for their families next.
No no no, when you’re this conceited, you care more about how your perfect gene pool could ever have spawned such an abomination. Then you use your insecurity to do something you were planning on doing anyway due to taxes to appease your conservative fanboys.
And I don’t really agree with the law either. I don’t like the government telling children it’s ok to lie to their parents. I can imagine an enthusiastic extremist counsellor convincing a kid their feelings mean they were meant to be the opposite gender when they really weren’t. Parents being clueless until the court protected therapy was already planned. It’s a little dangerous.
I look at it differently. It’s a step towards the state raising children instead of parents. It takes those specific guardianship rights away and hands them to an arbitrary school employee.
In the future, when it expands to other social aspects, we’ll have no recourse. Still sounds like an overreach to me. It’s not like parents don’t swing towards conversion therapy in many cases. Just read up on the couple who breast fed their kid on a non-functional nipple and was in the process of transitioning their 5yr old.
I can imagine an enthusiastic extremist counsellor convincing a kid their feelings mean they were meant to be the opposite gender when they really weren’t.
Probably has never happened (although I will conceded that there are probably some counsellors who have made a mistake and maybe pushed it too hard), but what I can say for certain is that extremist parents have done exactly this, many times, over and over. Which is why the law exists and should exist.
