To be very weirded out by Elon Musks reproductive choices

There’s an interesting podcast from the BBC about him.

He's a drug addled loon with too much money and nobody willing to restrain his behaviour.Plenty of them around, it's the money that makes the difference.

Even if it didnt and even if he does end up being formally diagnosed with autism, it makes no difference to the fact that he is weird and dangerous and unpredictable. I dont care where the origin of his behaviour comes from. The impact of it is what matters

No need for him to invoke autism. According to Wikipedia, "he takes ketamine, LSD, cocaine and other drugs recreationally."
That alone would account for his "wierdness".

He is autistic. Typically people with autism can come across as arkward and transactional as many have mentioned. That doesn't make him necessarily 'bad'.

He is not autistic, if we're going by facts that he claims to like so much. He's not been diagnosed. Until then...
Even if he is, being autistic isn't what has made him to be an evil nazi usurping a government and the constitution. Lots of autistic people both wealthy and poor, aren't like him, wouldn't do the same and hate him too. So let's not bring Autism into this. If so, what Trump's, Putin's, JD Vance's, other arseholes like Steve Bannon who've done the nazi salute at a French far right conference after Elon did his, etc excuse? Are they all autistic too?

He didn't want the presidency or vice presidency. He wants to be able to work on his plans, which he clearly believes are the right thing to do (again, rightly or wrongly, but he believes in them).

No, he cannot be US president because he's from another country and was born there. He's not a natural-born US citizen (He's a 'forriner') so he doesn't qualify. He's using a natural-born citizen (Trumpina) to fulfil his presidency wishes.

If you had his IQ
🤣. That is all

and wealth, I'm sure you would want to push through what you believe in too. Why not? If I could afford it I'd have loads of kids too, they just bring so much joy!

He's a babydaddy creating babymamas all over the place and estranging some of them from their kid (at least one, Grimes, is trying to reach him because their kid is ill she says and he keeps deleting her posts on Twitter). How "ghetto", right? or maybe it's only fine for Elon the wealthy white man to be?!

Nope I wouldn't do the same but it's fine if it's your thing.

He just so7nds like such a douchebag of a father.

the latest mother has leaked screenshots of text messages. He obviously wasn’t there for the birth, she sent him a photo of her in the hospital bed holding the baby and he sent a two word response of “all well?”. She’s going to court now for full custody and says he’s only met the child 4x in 5 months. Other messages from him telling her to be discrete, how he’s not going to be on the birth certificate, etc. one message say how he’s wants to get her “knocked up” again.

Grimes is reaching out to him publicly on social media begging him to get in touch as he’s ignoring private messages from her , she says one of their kids is having a medical crisis and she needs his input and if he doesn’t get in touch this child will suffer lifelong consequences.

Considering how his dad has acted over the years, it's not surprising how Elon turned out! Daddy dearest brought up his step-daughter, Jana Bezuidenhout from when she was only 4yr old and then goes on to have 2 kids with her!! 😬 That is just sick. No wonder Elon is screwed in the head and has weird ideals!

Oh no, don't you dare suggest that this abomination is typical of autistic people and that he's so nice underneath and not at all fascist.

People with anti social personality disorder are 'transactional'. A trait which has fuck all to do with autism.

I am no saying I am for or against, just putting up a different viewpoint for people to consider as this thread seems very judgemental.

My sister is autistic. Insanely clever. Socially arkward. Very transactional. She wanted a child but did not like the idea of being out of control of her body, she struggles with change, she runs a company and didn't feel she could hand over the reins and also didn't want to let people down. She looked into surrogacy. Maybe there are reasons too for Elon that we don't know here. Maybe the women at the time couldn't carry a child? My point is we do not know and are jumping to negative conclusions, which may, or may not be correct.

And to imply he doesn't love his kids is a bit far. Having a lot of kids doesn't mean you don't love them. Naturally or through IVF doesn't mean you don't love them. I think that's too judgemental when we are bit that close to his life.

The whole eugenics thing as a serious movement really got started in California. (actually the idea was coined by an English person so we bear responsibility too, but it was those go-getting Californians doers who started it as a serious movement and who inspired the Nazis. To the extent of being in correspondence with German scientists and funding prewar German labs. And being jealous that the germans were able to go so much further than them. ) Everything comes back round.

I'm aware of that, thanks, but the sentiment is clearly thriving in present day America and has unfortunate antecedents. My apologies to any German people I have unintentionally offended, my contempt is for the present day adherents in the USA.

You’ll be hard pushed to find someone in Germany today that thinks that way and doesn’t consider thumping a person spouting that drivel!

Musk is also clearly an abuser and groomer!

We all should be more concerned about him using his child as a human shield!

Threads can be about anything posters want to make them, by posting, on an open public forum.

Better keep taking our chances to have free speech while we can.

What a stupid post.

People are able to think about things beyond their own lives!

If you can't, that's just sad.

But you're a bot anyway so who cares.

Agree. to sum up, he's a drug addled menace, in cahoots with an ageing deluded president, a vice-president who clearly can't tell the difference between Europe and Russia - given his deranged 'speech' in Munich - and a gang of neo-nazis. What could possibly go wrong?

Old German saying "Kinder, Kuche, Kirche", the only worthy purpose for women. Children, Cooking, Church. Keeping the Old Country ways.

I mean, we're basically talking about someone who bought a social media platform because he wasn't allowed to call people the 'r word' on Twitter, and then funded Trump for president because Biden hurt his widdle feelings by not inviting him to something. So I don't think we're exactly dealing with rational, adult motivation here.

I recently saw two psychologists discussing the fact that he's clearly hypomanic, not to mention the Ketamine use and lack of clarity as to who is overseeing it. I don't think there's enough attention on his obvious mental health issues.

She is. And he’s tried saying he became far-right because of it, rather than owning his own behaviour, and he’s said that his “son” is “dead” because of her transitioning. I think it’s particularly bizarre and hateful for a father, who actually did have their first son die, to then use this rhetoric against an 18yo, right in front of the whole world.

I’ve only read the first page of comments, so excuse me if I’m repeating others, but it’s not Elon Musk’s children alone that is concerning. It’s more than one man trying to make babies as much as possible. The pronatalist movement (also a part of his father’s ideology) has taken the techbros by force. Their response to population decline hasn’t been to consider technological responses to an ageing population, or even to accept that immigration can be a good thing, it’s been to ideologically push the idea that women need to have as many babies as possible. This is Gilead on our doorstep. The same population decline is happening in the UK and the US far-right techbro cabal has a lot of influence over the thinking of young men here too. We should be terrified.

I believe one of his children is trans and has disowned their father.
