    We should really keep talking about how Elon is the real president and Trump is just the secretary.

    Use words that they understand, like pointing out how Musk is still having kids and it’s been 19/20 years since Trump was able to sire a kid. In the MAGA world, doesn’t that show how much more deserving Musk is and that Trump is used up?

    Something to get them infighting and destroy themselves from within.

      It’s not a winning move I think. The deeper, much more intractable problem is that this administration is culturally aligned with its voters, and the other party is not.

      Elon is just another member of the trans national crime syndicate that masquerades as many national governments.

      Im not sure anyone is in charge of it, and its most likely a gentlemans agreement between its leaders to divide the world up into territories amongst its members,

      but if anyone’s in charge of it, its not Elon or Trump, its Vladimir Putin.

    Still, Musk, like other billionaires, does seem to be obsessed with his own longevity, as can be seen by his ever-expanding family line.

    Seriously, does anyone but a few historians know what Rockefeller or Carnegie look like? Most of the US don’t even know who our former presidents were, much less what they looked like. In one or two generations, they’ll be footnotes at best. That goes for you Bezos, Dorsey, Zuck, Bannon, Stone, etc. No one cares about you.

          You know their name. Just about everyone reading your comment knows their names as well. Further, when most people hear their names the first thing that pops into their head is something positive and prestigious, not the awful things they did to make their fortunes. Many of their descendants are still wealthy and powerful to this day. It doesn’t really make much difference if people spend time looking at their portraits.

              In two generations well probably be banging rocks together in a irradiated hellscape and Ill hopefully be long dead.

              Creating an enduring positive legacy takes effort, and neither Jobs or Bezos really made an attempt. Guys like Musk and Gates are making that effort and are likely to be remembered, although I think its pretty unlikely Musk will ever be able to restore a positive connotation to his name.

                Musk’s effort if it can be called as such is and has been entirely commercial in nature. A for-profit company is not a positive legacy. Ford may have made cars relatively cheap and available but he doesn’t have the positive legacy of Rockefeller or Carnegie scale. Similar with Edison who is becoming more known as the ip thief and asshole that he was. Musk bought companies/ got bought by them, he really hasn’t invented anything. He had some lines of code in his original X which got bought by PayPal just in case as it was attempting similar payment processor things. Musk’s only real chance for a positive legacy via his current stuff is to actually do human Mars travel via SpaceX. Tesla isn’t self driving and is well behind competition, known for recalls and shitty quality nowadays. SpaceX is still relatively cool but we know he’s not in charge there, Starlink could be cool but it’s also terrible for actual earth telescopes. Twitter, xAI, and that medical torture company are/will be shitshows

                The bill and melinda Gates foundation and the Zuckerberg and channing foundation are things that have at least some positive impact though gates keeps funding carbon capture tech instead of better greenhouse gas reduction/nature preservation.

          If not for portraits on money, would we all easily remember what Washington, Lincoln, et. al. looked like?

          I’m sure part or maybe most of the reason the titans of industry ‘s portraits don’t live in most of our memories is because there were much fewer photographs of them taken. I’m sure I have an order of magnitude more photographs of my child on my phone, then existed any photographs of Rockefeller.

            Does anyone care though? Have you ever discussed family history with a teenager? That will let you know how it’s going to go. Younger generations don’t care, just like I didn’t care when I was in high school. There are going to be exceptions, but they won’t be household names. Do you think most teenagers know who Steve Jobs or John Belushi is?

                Teenagers are the black hole of information. If you’re not a household name to them, you will not move on to the next generation. That’s how people disappear as household names in 2 generations.

      You’re definitely not wrong and there are many families that fit that description; perplexingly proliferating profusely into a plethora, but this seems more excessive. Musk seems to be wanting a literal battalion of affluent little entitled male brats.

      You are correct though. I’m willing to bet they tear themselves apart with what fortune is left after Elon crashes out eventually.

    St. Clair claims she was offered $15 million and a monthly payment of $100k to stay silent about their relationship and their new son, who has been named “Romulus,” the newspaper notes.

    Musk is the scum of the earth (and I’m a man), but I think even I’d carry his baby for cash like that.

      Easy to say when you’ve got no skin (or uterus) in the game. Just look at how Grimes and St. Clair and their children are being treated. Both women are terrible right wing scum and had it coming, but I wouldn’t wish someone’s family/babies being manipulated and kept from them by a guy with more money than god on anyone.

      Imagine your only recourse for restoring your parental rights being going to court against a guy who can afford to keep the cases going indefinitely. That is the stuff of nightmares.

          Yeah, it makes me physically ill to imagine that for myself.

          I feel a bit more sympathy for Grimes than St. Clair since she seemed to actually want to be with this man, as a ‘real’ family at one point and seems to feel quite desperate about how her son is being manipulated now that that hasn’t worked out. Was she being naive? Probably, but none of us can see the future. Much less imagine that someone we love enough to date and have kids with would do something so deranged as hold them hostage as meat shields.

          Anyone who volunteers after seeing how he treats his baby mamas and children, though? They get no sympathy from me, personally. Sorry for the kids, tho

        Do you know that there’s evidence supporting the idea that when you have a baby, that baby’s DNA hangs out in your body for decades (if not forever, more studies needed on that point)? I wouldn’t want any amount of Elon Musk’s DNA just like…hanging out in me forever. Ew.

        Source: an excellent book called Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Came out in 2024 and does a great job of compiling lots of the latest research on pregnant bodies. It’s amazing how much is still missing and we need to learn still about half the population of the world.

    Some wild stuff in there

    […] bringing the grand (known) total to 14. However, according to a new report, there could be more, as the unhinged oligarch has reportedly been known to send his semen to women he doesn’t even know.

    […] Musk has a habit of reaching out to female X users “through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies, according to people who have viewed the messages.” At least one of those lucky ladies is crypto influencer Tiffany Fong, whom Musk followed on X last year. Sources told the newspaper that the billionaire had sent her a DM last November “asking if she was interested in having his child.” Wong apparently declined the offer.

    During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.” He has recruited potential mothers on his social-media platform X, according to some of the people.

    The Journal article notes that Musk has attempted to get all the various members of his “harem” to congregate in a compound that he recently had built in Austin, Texas.

      To reach legion-level before the apocalypse

      That is so psychotic. Me and most of my peers don’t want to have kids because of the state of the world. Meanwhile he wants as many as possible… to suffer? And it’s not like he’s sharing his fortune with them based on what I’ve read. He literally just wants them so they can die in the apocalypse? Does he know what an apocalypse is??

        [Musk’s fixer] Birchall was involved in acquiring the property for a compound in Austin where Musk imagined the women and his growing number of babies would all live among multiple residences, according to a person familiar with the matter…Zilis lives in the gated community with their children, and Musk comes and goes. Musk also attempted to get Grimes to move to the compound, but she refused. Similarly, he tried to get St. Clair to spend some time in Austin “with our kid legion,” according to a text he sent her.
