Elon Musk is actively calling for imprisoning healthcare professionals and therapists for providing care to trans youth that has been proven to lower their suicide rates by 73%.
He also has declared he will lobby against their care politically.
Every dime you give him hurts us.

Teslas, SpaceX, deals for underground tunnels, advertising dollars on this platform - it’s going to be funneled into harming trans kids.
If you are an advertiser on this platform, you better not ever claim you support the lgbtq community when your dollars go directly to harm.

The Swedish Study that Elon, and this person here, is citing, compared transgender people to the general population, not transgender people who couldn't get care to those who could.
It also used decades old data from the AIDS crisis and 80s, when med discrimination was VERY high

Cecilia Dhejne, lead researcher on this study, has herself refuted this misinterpretation:
