    I don’t know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

      Funny thing is I think a lot of these babies were by surrogacy and in vitro fertilization, I don’t think there was actually a lot of sex going on with any of these women.

      That’s what I read, I could be wrong

        It’s probably why he has lots of kids to compensate for something. Probably to signal that he has sex when he really hasn’t. Ketamine abuse can cause erectile dysfunction and I bet his sperm is immotile

            That reminds me of Telegram founder Pavel Durov who donated his sperm to hundreds of women, and now he wants all of his children to have a big meeting. Rich people are fucked up (and this wants me to leave Telegram).

            Not just him but undoubtedly millions of fellow Americans.

            When one is dead and broken inside, they look to external quantitative factors for validation. They convince themselves that the more measurable & “objective” those factors are, the more they must be representing some underlying truth. They represent the meaning of life.

            And the shitty thing is that those who only care about money and power see the worst of humanity getting rewarded with more money and more power.

            Their fucked up personal lives aren’t evidence of something wrong with them. They are evidence that such silly feel-good nonsense is unnecessary at best, and a terrible weakness at worst. You know, the kind of shit you’d expect from a cartoon villain in a children’s movie.

            Edit to add an anecdote: I’m sure people from conservative families will feel this one. Say in front of one of the broken people that Musk is an idiot and a bad father, and the reply will be something like “well he’s made a million times as much money as you, so that shows how smart you are!” Or maybe “his kids are set for life - have you done something like that for your kids?”

      There’s a theory that they are all fake names and not their legal names, although his trans daughter I think legally changed their name so that may be on record, but most aren’t.

    I chuckle every time I am reminded that he named one of his kids Sideræl. In norwegian that would be a slang for Side-junk or side-slop.

    Side = side
    Ræl = “junk,” “trash,” “rubbish,” or “worthless stuff.” It is an informal, somewhat dismissive term used to describe things that are of low quality, broken, or generally useless.

        Elon can consider himself proper American now that he thinks Æ can be used as substitute for A, E, or a combination of the two. Same as you sometimes see shitheads use Ø instead of O.

        To those of us who use those letters daily, it’s just jarring, as it’s a completely different letter with a different sound. It would be like writing Karspleesh and expect the spelling to carry the same pronunciation.

            True, that’s an internationally recognized translation of those letters. Partially to make it easier for the swedes who use gibberish letters instead of the superior Æ Ø Å, I’m sure you can agree.
            But the opposite isn’t valid in any language. You don’t know anyone who drive across Størebæltsbrøen to get to Ødense, I hope?

    The mistake that everyone keeps making is assuming that when they say “traditional family” they mean the “husband, wife, and 2.5 kids” nuclear family. That’s not what they want. They are looking at an older tradition. They want slaves and concubines back.

      They want slaves and concubines back.

      IE an actual traditional family, as very well defined in the Old Testament / Tanakh.

      When you get to the New Testament, you end up with the uberconservative push for making divorce illegal citing Jesus himself.

      Matthew 19:3-9

      3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one 's wife for any cause?”

      4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

      5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

      6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

      7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?”

      8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

      9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

      Notice how the presumption here is that only a man can divorce his wife, not the other way around.

      The rule of Moses as understood by the Pharisee is that a man can serve a woman divorce papers, and that’s that.

      What they can all agree on is women are second class citizens and should be subordinate to men.

      Paul is quite famous for not permitting women to speak:

      1 Corinthians 14:34

      the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

        After my mom divorced my dad, we moved in with her parents because we had no money. The condition was that we had to start going to their extreme, King James Bible is the literal word of god, church. They preached this lesson a lot and it really messed my mom up. Luckily around the time I was 12, and already an atheist, we stopped going.

          I come from a similar religious background, though my parents very obviously hate each other, never divorced, both constantly trying to get a middle school aged me to take their sides in arguments, traingulating everything, always, all the time, later escalating to trying to force various mental health condition diagnoses on each other and myself via quack doctors and institutions with dubious at best qualifications and track records.

          I stopped talking to my family years ago, but if my ability to search through public records is accurate, it looka like my brother, his schizophrenic former FLDS cult member girlfriend and my mom rent and live in a two bed house in a suburb, and my dad lives in a trailerhome 60 miles away out in the sticks.

            I’m sorry, I hope the PTSD hasn’t screwed you up too bad. It’s definitely one of the reasons for my mental health issues. I went to a Church of Christ. This is the only name allowed for a church in this sect, because Jesus said build the church in my name in the king James version. So anyone who calls a church anything else is obviously going to hell.

            They take the book that’s been translated again and again and again, with books added and removed, and say it is the literal word of god because all the translators received divine inspiration. It would be a silly joke if they hadn’t hurt so many people. Almost all my family is dead now. What sect were you in?
