Grimes said that the conversation eventually revealed that Musk believes, somewhat erroneously, that "every way that you transition can cause fertility issues" — an unsurprising sticking point for the billionaire, who has fathered at least 10 children and is reportedly obsessed with fertility.

My opinion? He's engaging in the time honored capitalist tradition of lying all the time abut anything and everything.

He's a weirdo sure, but is he soooo different and special that he's just transphobic because of his eccentric obsessions? No shot. He's just got the same anxieties about gender as every other transphobe. Not even exceptional in his bigotry

the weirdo angle here is that he thought this made him sound better. But I guess it did, to Grimes

Exactly. We should not take this at face value.
