Musk is infamous for using his platform to mock transgender people, and for using irrelevant remarks to silence anyone who calls him out.
#TWITTER MEME CREATOR FREE#
While the United States associates itself as the beacon of free speech, it forgets to mention the terms and conditions that apply: from the “Don’t Say Gay” bills to the books banning LGBTQI+ and race-related books, free speech only applies when it conserves the white heteropatriarchal status quo.
Musk follows this up with another meme to criticize the moderation of hate speech on social media: “shadow ban council reviewing tweet” he posted, with an image of figures covered in dark and torn-apart bedsheet-like clocks.Īs a self-described “free speech absolutist”, Musk’s move to seize Twitter while riding on a free-speech echo the arguments used by the powerful right when they get agitated about being called out for their transphobia. While some news outlets covered this tweet in context to Bill Gates, none seem to go into how the tweet endorses the ongoing legacy of infantalizing transgender men and masc folks through a desexualization driven by the patriarchal need to control all bodies.Īnd how Musk repurposes this infantilization and anti-trans hate circulating around what this emoji attempts to represent: men and gender-nonconforming folks can get pregnant too. A few days ago, anti-trans meme-creator Elon Musk posted a photo of Bill Gates collaged with a pregnant man emoji, with the text: “in case u need to lose a b*ner fast”
