The Axios article links the SpaceX letter to Elon "slowing down" on Twitter - but the event that correlates to the hard stop is Elon's oldest child publicly transitioning gender and changing their last name.

I have always been fascinated by Elon and how his psyche works. Even being at the top of a pile of wealth, he still deeply craves and seeks validation, always coming off the rails for a while when the next love interest relationship implodes (Talulah, Talulah again, Grimes).

I cannot imagine what one of your children disowning you does to the self, nor if any amount of wealth paves over the pain. It is the ultimate rejection. I hope he takes it as the call it is to re-evaluate his values, priorities, and actions and improve as a human, if only for the sake of the relationship with his kids.

You take it as a given that his child is in the right.

Didn’t they also say they want nothing to do with him?
