Just stop giving this idiot attention, it’s what he gets off on. You’re all getting him off. If that’s what you’re into, fine but, if it’s not, you’re being taken advantage of.
Elon to Twitter execs - “Don’t you guys wanna get off with me? Just follow my lead guys, we’re gonna get off together.”
I disagree with his fundamental premise that people with children can see the interests of society better.
I don’t have children, but I have heard from every possible source that once you have children they become your world.
How is a person expected to reason clearly about the interest of millions of people when they are running an ancient biological program focused on the interests of a tiny family unit?
edit: I once saw the argument that having family doens’t make you a better person. Having family makes you a ruthless user and taker on behalf of your family. Most of the stories you hear of people giving in to corruption, happen because those people can’t afford to lose their jobs, because they have mouths to feed. Once you have kids, you must choose whether you value your kids over your civic responsibility, or vice-versa.
People with children won’t have the time to research issues too deeply, and they will be sleep deprived for several years.
They make better sheep.
There are plenty of people with children who vote against their children’s best interests.
Edit: misread your disagree as agree
Not surprising anymore. The guy (like his father) has a insane breeding fetish. And never forget that his father groomed his own adopted daughter (that he know since she was a child) and has two kids with her 🤮.
Don’t non-parents have more stake in the future than parents? Parents always need immediate help, they don’t care about the long term consequences, that will be faced in 10, 25, 50 years.
No way, it wasn’t until after I had my kid that I really started ***seriously ***thinking about how shit would be 80+ years in the future after I was dead. Like maybe I had some passing thoughts about the future before that but it was always very theoretical and not a concrete thing to consider.
What about 15-20 years from now? Most parents I know are just struggling to get through the week and want any help they possibly can.
As a parent, I sure as hell care about what my daughter will face in the future. So I absolutely have a stake in the future. Do I have more of a stake than non-parents? I don’t care to speculate. But that has nothing to do with who should have the right to vote.
People forget a huge side of this as well. It’s not just being financial able to have kids but physically able. More and more people now days are seeking fertility treatment and having fertility issues. According to elon, those people would not have the right to vote.
People who go to college and then university and then intern somewhere to get a junior position and then a senior position are in their mid 30s when they’re in a stable enough position to plan for kids.
By contrast, a lot of people who are happy with a high school degree have kids before they’re 20.
This is not a value judgment, but separating people by when they’re having kids segments the population of into very distinct strata.
It’s not hard to guess why a billionaire who’s running a right-wing social media platform would prefer a certain demographic.
We waited until our 30s to have a child for a lot of reasons, and I’m glad we did it. We were more financially secure and had sowed our wild oats, so we were also not likely to go out and party. Elon was already financially secure when he had is first child. He has no idea how much a child costs in terms of money and in terms of what sort of life you want to live for most people.
I also doubt he’s done much child-raising, either. People of his social class don’t tend to be very involved with their kids, probably because they don’t have to be. Honestly I don’t blame them for that, but I do with they’d STFU about what all of us peons should be doing.
When will Elon eventually or slowly fade out of popular media and when he’s alienated everyone around him he can go away and live as a recluse. He can be the next Howard Hughes, living in a dark casino hotel room wearing Kleenex boxes on his feet.
Ideally less of a casino hotel room and more a hole in the floor
I have bad news for you.
Has he even met most of his children? Does he even remember X Æ A-12’s birthday?
He has a trans daughter who hates him. She disowned him and legally changed her last name when she became an adult.
I can’t imagine how terrible a father he has to be in order to turn down inheriting part of the richest man in the world’s fortune.
Given that this is what her mom has to say about Elon it’s not surprising at all

Thank you for sharing that link. That was a very interesting read!
Glad to share it. I first read it years ago and it’s what made me dislike him in the first place. I know too many men in tech who act exactly that way and treat their wives like consolation prizes.
Crazy, out of touch billionaire has a crazy, unrealistic idea. Fucking stop the presses.
I would have a kid just to vote then ditch the poor bastard at twitter HQ.
Remind me why this man hasn’t been arrested and investigated by multiple alphabet agencies by now?
Because the justice system has been entirely corrupted to serve the interests of wealth.
How about instead we eliminate the voting rights (and eligibility to hold office or judgeships) of those who are within 10 years of their life expectancy? Childless middle-aged adults have a lot more stake in the state of the world they are going to be living in for the next 40-50 years than the old farts who are about to die.
Stop. Feeding. The. Troll!
Welcome to the rise of aggressively pro-natalism billionaires, because it’s 2023 and we’re not imploding fast enough.
Remember, you won’t have a seat on the transport to Mars. And if you ever get there, it will be to work the mines.
I played that video game. I’m signing up with the mercs in that case.
I was thinking more Bioshock embodies Musk exactly. Both of the settings, in fact.
Are you thinking of the Red Faction series?
I feel like these people are using the Handmaids Tale as a guide at this point…
He’s so damn creepy. First the pedo thing, then the breeding thing, now this. I’m beginning to think Musk is the pedophile.
There’s a reason Elon Musk thinks like that. Apparently his father’s current wife is elon’s step sister. Apparently he groomed her from a young age to be a future wife. And this is not something unique with elon’s father. His whole breeding kink also comes from his sicko father. The reason he thinks everyone else is fucked up is because he is.
Look up who his dad is fucking.
Not saying he isn’t, because we know he’s a sex offender, but I think the breeding thing is more about Great Replacement, which really boils down to racist megalomania.
You’re telling me the billionaire whose family fortune came from apartheid emerald mines is a total cunt?
I’m shocked! Shocked! … Well, not that shocked.
