Doesn't Elon hate trans people or whatever?
He's a right-wing billionaire, hating everybody but himself comes with the territory.
He has a trans daughter who disowned him. I don't know why, but you can probably guess.
"He" being Elon, I believe, not Mr Beast.
I could be wrong about Mr Beast, however. But Elon def has a trans kid and this is the source of his bigotry.
He likely hates them because his daughter is trans and completely wrote him off. She changed her name wanting to have no association to her father.
Soon after this he started increasing his anti trans shit.
Also, his ex Grimes is/was dating a trans person, Chelsea Manning.
Not sure if he hates anything but it does look like he looks at most people as lesser beings.

For those wanting to save a click:
“Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare,’” he (Mr Beast) went on. He wrote that Tyson is “my f**ken friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to piss me off.”
Man it'd be great if he told Elon something like "sure, once transphobia is banned on here and you personally apologize for your transphobic language and promote trans rights".
I don't think he'd get a response lmao
I didn't realise Mr. Beast was trans
Chris from Mr. Beast is non-binary.

Funny how the one bigotry designed and advertised for women ends up being coopted by shouty men.
