The tech mogul, Elon Musk is always in headlines for his controversial statements. The Tesla boss is makeing news again with his views on transgender and gender affirmation surgeries which has definitely angered the LGBTQ + community. This is not Musk’s first time disrespecting the LGBTQ+ community. He did something very similar with his hateful views over Twitter in December 2020.
The angry LGBTQ+ community is not going to forgive Musk and thus they are trolling the tech mogul all over Twitter for his hair transplant which he got in his 30s. According to them if Musk can do something to make himself feel good about himself, why can’t they do the same. Recently many states in America are enforcing anti-trans laws. According to UCLA’s School of Law’s Williams Institute, 15 states have “restricted access to gender-affirming care or are currently considering laws that would do so.”
What Did Elon Musk Say To Anger The LGBTQ+ Community?
It all began when the conservative political commentator Matt Walsh discussed gender and the gender affirmation surgeries as well in ‘What Is A Woman?’ The LGBTQ+ community criticized him a great deal over social media for such transphobic views. One person in Twitter shared a link to his review of the documentary. That person claimed that it is “institutionalising stereotypes about gender”. Elon Musk responded to that Tweet and said what were his views on this controversial matter.
“We are simultaneously being told that gender differences do not exist and that genders are so profoundly different that irreversible surgery is the only option,” Musk wrote. “Perhaps someone wiser than me can explain this dichotomy. It is a better world if we are all less judgy.”

This was not his first time tweeting something like this. In December 2020 Musk tweeted, “I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an aesthetic nightmare.” These instances made the LGBTQ+ community very angry with him and they are bashing him up in Twitter over his hair transplant surgery. According to sources, the Tesla CEO got two hair transplants, the first one being in the year 2002.
LGBTQ+ Community Trolls The Tesla Boss
Following Elon Musk’s judgemental comments, people are trolling him all over Twitter. “Cis people get more gender-affirming surgery than trans people do,” one person wrote in a tweet to Musk. “If I had to guess, it’s similar to this. Still the same guy as before, but needed a change to feel right about yourself.” Another Twitter user responded to Musk, along with photos of the businessman with and without hair.
Good question! Should we ban gender affirming surgeries such as hair plugs? Breast implants?
