大家好!欢迎收看这期《马家的儿女》。
还记得6月19日父亲节的当天,世界首富马斯克(Elon Musk)推特发文:Happy Father’s Day。
父亲节快乐
随后又深情表白自己的7个孩子:
我爱我的每一个孩子
然而,这种父慈子孝的温馨画面没有持续太久。
就在刚刚,外媒爆料,马斯克18岁的儿子泽维尔( Xavier Alexander Musk)决定改名不再和马斯克姓,并表示“不希望与生父有任何形式的关系”。
拒绝做世界首富的儿子? ! 小马同志的举动瞬间在网络上引发了热议。
先来看看外媒是如此报道该事件的:
The child ofbillionaireElon Musk is completely changing her identity to distance herself from her father.
亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克的孩子正在彻底改变自己的身份,想要与父亲保持距离。
Xavier Alexander Musk is requesting to change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is also asking for the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County to recognize her gender as female. Thepetitionwas filed on Monday, April 18.
泽维尔·亚历山大·马斯克要求将她的名字改为薇薇安·詹娜·威尔逊。她还要求洛杉矶县的加州高等法院承认她的性别为女性。请愿书于4月18日星期一提交。
Vivian listed the reason for the name change as not wanting to be associated with her biological father. The document states: "Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."
薇薇安之所以改名,是不想和生父有关联。申请文件中指出:“性别认同、不想与生父有任何形式的联系。”
因为老马家孩子实在太多了,先给大家捋捋。这个闹着要改名的小马是马斯克在第一段婚姻里生育的孩子,今年4月刚到18岁。
Elon Musk married Canadian author Justine Wilson in January 2000. In 2002, they welcomed their son Nevada Alexander Musk. Sadly, Nevada died of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, at only ten weeks old.
2000年1月,埃隆·马斯克与加拿大作家贾斯汀·威尔逊结婚。2002年,他们迎来了儿子内华达·亚历山大·马斯克。不幸的是,内华达出生仅十周就死于婴儿猝死综合征。
第一任妻子:贾斯汀·威尔逊(Justine Wilson)
Musk and Wilson turned toIVF, and, in April 2004, Wilson gave birth to two twin sons: Griffin and Xavier. They both just turned 18 back in April.
马斯克和威尔逊转向试管受精,2004年4月,威尔逊生下了两个双胞胎儿子:格里芬和泽维尔。他们在今年4月份都刚满18岁。
第二任妻子:妲露拉·莱莉(Talulah Riley)
The former couple also used IVF to welcome triplet sons two years later. Their names were Kai, Saxon, and Damian. All three boys are now 16. Two years later, in 2008, the pair filed for divorce. They still sharecustodyof their five children.
两年后,这对夫妇还通过试管受精迎来了三胞胎。他们的名字分别是凯,撒克逊和达米安。三个男孩现在都16岁了。两年后,也就是2008年,两人提出离婚。他们仍然共同拥有五个孩子的监护权。
虽然马斯克本人仿佛一直住在推特上面,但是我们对于他的孩子们了解的并不多。而据外媒报道,父子俩的矛盾点,主要还是马斯克本人的跨性别恐惧症。
However, Vivian claims that part of the reason that she wants to change her name is to distance herself from her biological father, who has been accused of having transphobic views over the past several years.
然而,薇薇安声称,她想改名的部分原因是为了与她的生父保持距离,在过去几年里,她的生父一直被指责有跨性别恐惧症。
In one July 2020 tweet, Musk tweeted “pronouns suck,” but deleted the tweet after his then-partner, Canadian musician Grimes, confronted him about the tweet.
在2020年7月的一条推文中,马斯克发了一条推文“代词很烂”,但在他当时的伴侣——加拿大歌手格莱姆斯就这条推文与他对质后,他删除了这条推文。
前女友:格莱姆斯(Grimes)
A few months later, in a series of tweets dated December 2020, the Tesla founder reportedly mocked people who listed their pronouns in their online bios.
几个月后,在2020年12月的一系列推文中,这位特斯拉创始人嘲笑了那些在他简介中使用中性人称代词的人。
Musk’s tweet read “when you put he/him in ur bio” alongside a cartoonish picture of a soldier rubbing his bloody hands on his face. The soldier is wearing a hat that says “I love to oppress.”
马斯克的推特上配文“当你把他/他(宾格)放进你的简介时”,旁边是一张漫画,一名士兵在自己脸上搓着他的血手。这名士兵戴着一顶写着“我爱压迫”的帽子。
After Musk was criticized for the tweet, he defended himself by tweeting , “I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.” He then tweeted out that Tesla had the number one ranking on the Corporate Equality Index, which is an annual list of the best places for LGBTQ people to work.
在马斯克因该推文受到批评后,他在推特上为自己辩护说:“我绝对支持跨性别,但所有这些中性代词都是一场审美噩梦。”
The HRC shared a statement with CNBC, calling on the SpaceX founder to apologize for mocking the use of pronouns.
人权委员会与美国消费者新闻与商业频道分享了一份声明,呼吁SpaceX创始人为嘲笑中性代词的使用道歉。
They concluded their statement, saying, “Musk’s insensitive comments stand completely contrary to what HRC’s Workplace Equality Program works with companies each day to create—providing employees a safe, inclusive, and fair work environment.”
他们总结了自己的声明,并表示:“马斯克麻木不仁的评论完全违背了人权委员会和公司携手建立的《工作场所平等计划》,——为员工提供一个安全、包容和公平的工作环境。”
媒体称,不论泽维尔是否是因为性别认同这一点决定和马斯克断绝关系,他此次的表态已经充分表明了这对父子之间存在裂痕。
近年来,马斯克一直在身体力行地呼吁人类生育更多孩子以拯救人类文明。他曾说:“依然没有足够多的人口。如果人们不多生孩子,文明就会崩溃。”
然而,他本人在孩子成长过程中尽到的父亲责任却很少。
马斯克和第一任妻子、作家贾斯汀·威尔逊(Justine Wilson)育有五个孩子。 贾斯汀就曾在采访中这样说道:
Elon was obsessed with his work: When he was home, his mind was elsewhere. I longed for deep and heartfelt conversations, for intimacy and empathy.
马斯克全神贯注于他的工作,即使在家的时候,他的心思也在别处。”我渴望深层次的、发自内心的对话,渴望亲密无间的交流和共鸣。
后来马斯克和前女友、歌手格莱姆斯(Grimes)也有一儿一女,儿子叫X Æ A-Xii Musk,女儿叫Exa Dark Siderl Musk。当时记者问他当爹心得,他是这样回答的:
He said: “Well, babies are just eating and pooping machines, you know? Right now there’s not much I can do. Grimes has a much bigger role than me right now. When the kid gets older, there will be more of a role for me."
他说:“你知道吗,婴儿就是进食和便便的机器。现在我帮不上什么忙。格莱姆斯现在的角色比我重要得多。当孩子长大后,我将扮演更多的角色。”
但是你也不能说他就是渣爹。他也在很多公众场合表达对孩子们的爱。
He added: "I think just doing what I’ve done with my other kids. If I have a trip for Tesla to China, for example, I’ll bring the kids with me and we’ll go see the Great Wall or we took the bullet train from Beijing to Xian and saw theTerracotta Warriors.”
他补充说:“我觉得就像对待其他孩子一样。例如,如果我要为特斯拉去中国考察,我会带着孩子们一起去看长城,或者从北京坐高铁去西安看兵马俑。”
他也会带孩子们去游乐园玩:
而对于这次孩子要断绝关系的举动,马斯克会有什么反应呢?
最新消息来了!马斯克在一封邮件中回应说:“她不想成为公众人物。我认为捍卫她的隐私权很重要。请不要违背某人的意愿——这是不对的。”
随后,泽维尔的母亲贾斯汀·威尔逊则在推特上发文支持泽维尔,“我为你感到骄傲。”
推特上的网友发言,也是很有意思了,谁说出了你的心里话:
这真是悲伤。他可以收养我啊,我想让他做我爸爸。
然后呢?所以一个孩子不想和他有任何关系,对自己的性别感到困惑?那又怎样。这在最近是很常见的。我怀疑这是对新兴市场的反映。很少会是对父母的反映。这是孩子的顽劣。
她会选择不出现在遗嘱中吗?我很怀疑
她不想背负父亲的罪孽。我能理解
