The assumption was that he was attacking individuals’ ability to choose their pronoun and identify as whatever they want, which is of course ludicrous and unscientific to its core.
Still, people slammed the billionaire for having his own thoughts, to include his girlfriend, Canadian musician Grimes. Her tweet, which has since been deleted said, “I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic]. I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isnβt your heart.”

It seems throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and its associated lockdowns, that the country has gotten to see Musk let his guard down and share more of his thoughts.Β He has attacked COVID lockdowns, slammed the mainstream media, ripped on virus testing and even said he was going to leave California over their draconian rule during the pandemic.
Here are some of the responses to his tweet.

And the hateful responses attacking Musk go on and on forever.Β However, it should be noted that there were a great deal of tweets expressing support for the CEO, and slamming the LGBTQ, and specifically the transgender community, for thinking the universe is centered around them, as well as praise for Musk “taking the red pill,” which remains yet to be determined.Β Though onlookers certainly have reason to think he is a closet conservative.
