    I suspect that it’s more for “engagement” and clickbait than malice from the headline writer.

    that is if you don’t think that this kind of communication isn’t harmful to the human race at least. Which it is. Obviously.

      I agree it’s not to intentionally target her maliciously, but it is malicious: how does the story change if you just say ‘daughter’? If she was a Catholic convert would it be ‘Elon Musks Transgender Catholic Daughter’? I understand part of his hatred towards her is that she’s transgendered, but we don’t have to allow that. And as I said, other news agencies aren’t (all) doing that.
