      No joke. IDK who this is but this girl looks like a princess that wouldn’t even know how a kitchen looks like and never even seen a photo of a bus…on the other hand this boy’s hair alone looks like he still brestfeeds.

        Judging people solely based on their appearance?
        Classy.

        That girl willingly walked away from potentially billions of dollars so she could be herself and stand up against those who would dictate otherwise if she let them. She’s got stronger principles than most people out there.

        Sure but I think this joke is also leaning into the Trumps being transphobic and including Musk’s trans daughter (sorry I forget their name). So the joke also comes off as transphobic in a way.

          The joke works regardless of whether she is trans or not. What you’re saying effectively means that I shouldn’t share the meme simply because a trans-woman is shown.

            The joke works. It just ain’t funny. Context matters. It’s not just because Vivian is trans. It’s because Vivian is not one of them. She’s disowned and disenfranchised. If Vivian was a hypocrite and in line to inherit any money whatsoever the joke might have landed. But it doesn’t. No big deal. That’s the nature of comedy. A lot of it misses the mark. Like this meme.

          It didn’t come off to me as transphobic - I just saw the ancient historical precedent of the elite marrying their offspring to one another.

          I don’t know OOPs intent, though, so I can’t make a strong argument either way. I’m just describing how I saw it.

            To be fair I think Vivian’s picture was used because she is the only recognisable child of Musk, and also because I think most of his other children are still literal children. There is probably no ill intent from the original post and I doubt OP shared it for transphobic reasons. The joke should land, but it doesn’t. At least not for anyone who recognises Vivian in the picture and knows what she has been through. That’s the nature of comedy.

              I think she was included to mock the notion of aristocratic bloodlines. Arranged (forced) marriages between royal families were always for the purpose of procreation and, well…

              But yeah, you need so much setup and context and certainty around the bona fides of the OP that the punchline itself (if I’m even right about the intended punchline) just gets suffocated.

              There’s only one guaranteed way this joke would land and that’s if Vivian herself had posted it.

          Gotcha - I don’t know any of Musk’s offspring by sight (or even name; just that some of them maybe look like a cat walked across a keyboard?)

          I knew he had a trans daughter that hates him but didn’t know this was her.

            Her name is Vivian, and up until the last two or three years she is the only daughter he had. According to her, Musk selected male embryos for IVF (which is how all of his children have been conceived). I’m not sure how Grimes and Shivon got around that to have their girls with him

      Musk’s daughter, maybe more estranged than his other kids, and Trump’s son. The idea is that the “feud” between them could be ended by a marriage of 2 of their children.

      Kinda like in Dune where the Bene Gesserit wanted to end the Atreides/Harkonnen feud by marriage and so ordered Jessica to only bear daughters.

      Musk’s daughter, and Trump’s son.

      Notably, Musk’s daughter is sort of the black sheep of his family; Musk used IVF so he could selectively only have male children, and she is openly trans. She has a significant social media following, largely due to the fact that she has repeatedly put her father on blast. She deserves better.

        Holy shit, is that even legal? I would hope no doctor near where I live would ever agree to do that.

            Because making any decision about an unborn child should be based purely on the medical needs of the child and if applicable the mother. Selecting based on traits is eugenics and I hope I don’t need to explain why that is bad. But as I understand the reason Musk is having all these babies is because he totally believes in eugenics, which is terrible.

            Edit: just checked, in most of Europe this is very illegal. Gender selection is only allowed if there are strong medical reasons to do so. For example a hereditary disease in the family which only affects one sex and can’t be screened for in another way.

    I assume that’s one of Melon Husk’s daughters? Don’t most of his brood hate him though?
