Sure but I think this joke is also leaning into the Trumps being transphobic and including Musk’s trans daughter (sorry I forget their name). So the joke also comes off as transphobic in a way.
Her name is Vivian, and up until the last two or three years she is the only daughter he had. According to her, Musk selected male embryos for IVF (which is how all of his children have been conceived). I’m not sure how Grimes and Shivon got around that to have their girls with him
The joke works regardless of whether she is trans or not. What you’re saying effectively means that I shouldn’t share the meme simply because a trans-woman is shown.
The joke works. It just ain’t funny. Context matters. It’s not just because Vivian is trans. It’s because Vivian is not one of them. She’s disowned and disenfranchised. If Vivian was a hypocrite and in line to inherit any money whatsoever the joke might have landed. But it doesn’t. No big deal. That’s the nature of comedy. A lot of it misses the mark.

Gotcha - I don’t know any of Musk’s offspring by sight (or even name; just that some of them maybe look like a cat walked across a keyboard?)
I knew he had a trans daughter that hates him but didn’t know this was her.
