Now Bret Taylor is chair of @OpenAI

Oh look a graph without a source that seems to show an instant effect. How believable.
Also love how they want us to believe every fourth teenager and young adult was trans at some point. They should listen to their Führer and make it 110%, or 500%, or 9000%...

Btw, I did a Google search to double-check, surprisingly the actual statistics beg to differ.

Elon fell for a spiffy graph with no citation? I'm shocked...
 
The context added underneath Musk's post says the stats are for all LGBTQ, not just transgender.

I also don't know if that graph is meant to be the people identifying as LGBTQ in real life, or just LBGTQ people leaving Twitter.
 
Going from the article, it's overall, at least in the USA (it's based on an analysis of a CDC survey so I assume it doesn't extend to other countries). The scientist doing the analysis is not without criticism, either.

But anyway, is it really all that surprising that people are less likely to openly identify as LGBTQIA+ in modern America? Can we think of anything that might have changed culturally since... oooh, say, about 2016 or so?

What's his problem with it apart from the colour of the text?

Why is that number significant?

420 is some sort of cannabis reference. Elon Musk likes to use it quite a lot as a joke. For example, he once claimed he was taking Tesla private at $420 per share. He also likes 69. Basically, he's a child.

"Only I am allowed to be childish and irreverent." —Elon Musk, probably.

Fun fact: you can complain about a juror being biased in favor of your client's guilt before the trial, but since the point of the trial is to convince a jury of your client's guilt, there's little point to complaining about how a jury feels after having heard the evidence. If they conclude that your client—in addition to being guilty—is also an insufferable prat, then it only makes it worse for your lawyer to try tattling to the judge.
