I didnt think it possible to respect @marcelias.bsky.social more than I already did. This is truth to utterly corrupt and corrosive power.

Reposted from Marc Elias

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Proud to have Marc Elias on our side. We definitely need more like him and fewer like Musk.

So, projection from the right, yet again.

This. Also interesting how Musk is weaponizing terms like “trauma” and “generational trauma”. Makes you wonder…

obregonia.bsky.social•82 days ago

When Musk said that, I immediately thought that he had no clue what generational trauma meant to the Jewish people. Then I thought to myself, maybe he DOES know and he's deliberately being cruel. Either one has very harmful outcomes.

By now, it’s undeniable that Elon is a Nazi so…

Well said Marc, well said!

This gives me hope.

Great response to a man of complete filth. Elias's family left because of persecution and for freedom. Musk's grandfather left a free country and moved to one of the most racist places possible because he preferred racism and admired Hitler. Musk's Nazi salute said it all.

Marc is a true Profile in Courage, particularly in this age of cowering and cowardice.

He is one of my heroes, and is held in even more esteem now. The more they denigrate others, the smaller they become.

Your grandfather was a gift to us all.

This has got to be one of the greatest examples of projection in the history of the world. Musk was famously raised by an abusive dad - who was also raised by an abusive dad - and is currently an abusive dad himself.

lmhinh.bsky.social•81 days ago

That’s a really good point. Some of us work hard to break the cycle. Not him

What a powerful letter communicating points that will resound with rational thinking people. Everyone has a backstory, no one just got delivered up to a high station in life without someone doing the heavy lifting. Your DNA is your destiny and Marc Elias is a warrior leader for our Democracy!

This is AMAZING!! What a letter. Thank you, Marc.

Also, Illinois Gov. Pritzker has some words...

I didn’t think it was possible to distain Musk more than I already did until I read this letter. It’s the perfect, reasoned take down of small-minded arrogance. Musk should be brought to trial, but I’m not holding my breath, even if we get out of this scrape.

Marc Elias should be on the Supreme Court
