Even Elon Musk Wants JK Rowling To Give Her Anti-Trans Screeds A Rest—And Yikes

The X owner commented on one of the 'Harry Potter' author's anti-trans posts to encourage her to try posting 'interesting and positive content on other matters.'

Never in a million years did we think we'd see the day where we'd agree with Elon Musk on something, but here we are.

To be fair, though, it's because he's telling JK Rowling to cool it with the anti-trans rants.


Yes, once again, the Harry Potter author took to Musk's platform to spew her bigoted views (shocker, we know).

The self-proclaimed TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), who's gone so far as to say she'd "happily" go to prison over her anti-trans views, tweeted a lengthy 700-word response to "several questions" she allegedly had been "accused of avoiding answering" regarding her views on what she believes "a woman is."

This, of course, came just a month after the author mocked gender-neutral language in a U.K. Mother's Day Post, tweeting:

"❤️💐Happy Birthing Parent Day to all whose large gametes were fertilised resulting in small humans whose sex was assigned by doctors making mostly lucky guesses ❤️💐"

In her April 6 tweet, Rowling laid out her definition of a woman in about six paragraphs, writing that a woman is “a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes..." along with about 696 other words.

And even Musk is over it.

Unfortunately, he doesn't disagree with Rowling's views—but he did, however, urge the author to post on "other matters," tweeting:

"While I heartily agree with your points regarding sex/gender, may I suggest also posting interesting and positive content on other matters?"

People on Musk's own platform were stunned, to say the least.

A few also wondered how Rowling will take the suggestion.

While Rowling didn't respond directly to Musk's tweet, she did later post to say that she "missed being advised to share more positive content yesterday":

That certainly doesn't sound like she has plans to slow down on her anti-trans content.

But now we have to wonder if Musk will take his own advice...

Treasury Secretary Blasted Over Out-Of-Touch Remark About How Many Homes People Buy For Retirement

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had people raising their eyebrows after he made an out-of-touch remark at the World Economic Forum about the number of homes people purchase for their retirement, claiming at a time when Americans are struggling with a nationwide cost-of-living crisis that some are purchasing as many as "12 homes" for their golden years.

Bessent described the administration’s strategy to limit the role of large institutional buyers in the single-family housing market, while preserving protections for smaller, independent landlords, including those who rely on rental properties for retirement income.
