Has had gender affirming surgery (yes, cosmetic surgery for any reason that isn't repairing something like severe burn or acid scars is gender affirming and I refuse to pretend it isn't to stroke the egos of bigots) multiple times, pitched fits online claiming that gender affirming surgery was evil and should be banned
Also I'm pretty sure claimed he never had cosmetic surgery
purchased all of his children and their genders via private fertility treatments, threw more tantrums than a toddler being told he can't buy sweets at the supermarket when one of them deviated from what he wanted
Claimed they begged him to go to epstien's island and he refused - files were released revealing that actually he had emailed asking to go and epstien had forwarded it to his personal child-purchaser Ghislaine Maxwell and told her to deal with it.
Said he'd end world hunger if someone sent him a plan for how it could be done for 6 billion dollars, received the plan, backed out immediately, and bought twitter instead.
On the subject of twitter, tried to get out of buying it after he'd already signed all the paperwork - has recently been found to have misled investors and is legally responsible for the site's stock dropping.
Got rid of the most easily recognisable (and protected under copyright) brands in history and changed it from "Twitter" to a letter of the alphabet he is weirdly obsessed with, which can't be copyrighted, and changed the logo to literally just the capital of that letter in a common font so that can't be copyrighted either.
Used his four(ish)-year-old as a human shield.
Is known to make fake accounts on Twitter pretending to be other people who praise him about how cool he is and how he's such a great father and everyone loves him and has been caught on multiple occasions using the wrong accounts.
Had the algorithm changed to aggressively promote his own twitter page more than anyone else
brought in the paid-for blue checks which resulted in people buying them, impersonating companies and saying insane nonsense that tanked their stocks
has perma-banned people from twitter for saying anything bad about him multiple times - despite insisting it's the platform of free speech - and was understandably mocked for it.
Fired all the people responsible for enabling people to get into the twitter building. Got locked out of the twitter building.
Tanked Twitter so badly the advertisers left (which he threw a tantrum about) and several clones of the original came out of the woodwork to take its place
Had a pissing contest with Trump on social media in which he outed him as being in the epstein files, called for his impeachment, took credit for trump's election win, and blamed the tariffs for a future recession. This started because they had an argument over Trump's stupid bill
The Cyber truck - enough said
Under his ownership Teslas got such a reputation for spontaneous combustion that when one caught fire outside a trump building the immediate response was not "this is a targeted attack" so much as "yeah they do that"
The live-on-camera two nazi salutes at trump's inauguration I'm sure everyone has mentioned already
Got Trump to turn the whitehouse lawn into a temporary tesla showroom as a favour to him
Wielded a chainsaw at the CPAC in 2025 to make himself seem more manly and unsurprisingly got the piss taken out of him for it so badly that there were news headlines
The whole DOGE thing which was both horrifying to watch happen and also extremely cringe.
Called for King Charles the third to dissolve parliament, which he can't actually do because the monarch hasn't had that power since the first Charlie was beheaded
Supported far-right and neonazi political groups in europe including the AfD, which Germany's own intelligence agency labelled as an extremist group and has been accused multiple times of Nazi sympathising, to the point that there has been a push for the EU to step in and impose stricter regulations on twitter and on musk directly.
was planning to donate so much money to Reform UK Ltd that it sparked a change in regulation that put an upper limit on political donations and outright bans on cryptocurrency donations in UK politics. Proceeded to call for Farage to be replaced as leader of the limited company masquerading as a political party a couple of weeks later.
Called a cave diver a paedophile for pointing out his plan for rescuing children stuck in a cave wouldn't work - the guy he called a paedophile was the one who actually rescued those kids.
Created his own LLM slop-machine. It said left-leaning things about topics like social justice that it backed with credible sources. He had it reprogrammed. It fact-checked a post he made claiming there was a white genocide, stating that "no credible sources" supported it. He had it reprogrammed. Someone managed to get it to admit it had been instructed to report white genocide theory as truth. He had it reprogrammed. It called itself MechaHitler. He had it reprog-
The same LLM slop-machine when generating images was immediately used to make deepfake pornography and CSAM. Rather than do anything to prevent it happening he blamed users. Didn't take any steps to prevent it until people started criminal investigations. There are still deepfakes being circulated.
