Elon doesn't live with most of his kids - why would he even care? His reason for moving is the taxes are less in Texas for now and the laws will turn a blind eye to environmental damage his companies do. As the population continues to grow in Tx that will change. Elon should be required to get a trolling license. Yes - I agree (I am a parent) that the law is stupid. If a kid doesn't want their parents to know somethi…

> Yes - I agree (I am a parent) that the law is stupid. If a kid doesn't want their parents to know something they should do it the old fashion way and lie as I did and my parents did before me etc:) The law seems to be about making it possible for kids to lie without the school snitching on them. You should be in favor of this law, no?

Exactly. The law is about preventing abuse from fundamentalists towards their children. If the school must snitch and the school must report then a person who believes their kid being gay will go to hell will abuse their child until they pretend to no be gay.

I agree with Musk about the California law, but a CEO is supposed to make decisions for a company to increase shareholder value (and arguably benefit other stakeholders), not to make political points. 'His disclosures followed the move by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, to sign a new law Monday that aims to prevent schools from informing families if their children identify as gay or transgender. “This is th…

>“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X, the social-media platform he owns. He cited the law as well as “many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies.”' Man who hates that his trans child hates him angry that the government isn't forcing trans children to tell their hateful parents they're trans. If your children aren't comfortable telling you things like this, that's a failure of you as a…

> Man who hates that his trans child hates him angry

These are very strong accusations. Do you have a reference or is this just an emotional response?

To be clear, the main animating force in Elon's life over the last few years is his oldest coming out as trans. That's why he bought Twitter and turned it into a nonstop Klan rally, that's why he supports Trump, that's why he opposes this law. His first-born is trans.

Doesn't X have a pretty strict RTO policy? Are they making all of the employees move?

I wonder if there is a chance employees would actually be in favor of that.

Considering that the high taxes also affects them and there is also the increasing criminality problem

I know that his trans child won't speak to him - I surmise it indicates hate, but perhaps not.

Usually when people say things like "this is the final straw" it indicates anger.

You can read more on the former by searching "Xavier Musk" and/or "Vivian Musk".

That's an odd way of saying they work in an office. Most jobs have been back in the office for ~3 years now, it's really just remote or office work now.

I think this is a very important post; thank you for writing it. In general, if your kids don't trust you then fixing that should be your first priority before you start pointing fingers everywhere but inward.

Parenting looks very very hard and I'm not implying this is easy - being worthy of trust is one of the hardest things in all our relationships. I do, however, think people need to reckon with the fact that a lot of the time the bad thing teachers are protecting kids from (or at least trying to) is their home life.

This is a bad solution to a bad problem. I dont think teachers are qualified to do this nor do I think they are in a position to do it safely but I do think it is important to help kids get out from under abuse.

I think more community would be a better general solution so it isn't just an underpaid, overworked, and opinionated government employee vs an underpaid, overworked, and opinionated parent with the kid crushed in the middle with no outside help they can turn to.

> What I am saying is that if your kids are not comfortable talking to you about serious topics like this, you've failed as a parent. Your kids should know you'll love them no matter what and will support them in trying to build a happy life for themselves.
