To be very weirded out by Elon Musks reproductive choices

I think he's up to twelve or thirteen children now with no sign of stopping and seems to have a very transactional approach to impregnating a series of women (presumably through IVF). It really speaks to looking at women as baby machines.
The colossal ego he has about maintaining his bloodline is so noxious.
I'm worried someone like him is so influential.
We'll be in the handmaid's tale before long.

Why are you bothered? Is your own life so dull?

His immense influence over an entire country as an unelected person is something we should all be bothered about. If you’re disinterested in democracy then there’s plenty of other threads to post on.

Well he is weird, so his life is weird.

His children unfortunately will probably be just like him

Where has the info about IVF and surrogates come from? Surely women wanting to sleep with the richest man in the world and hoping to get pregnant (and thus be set for life ) isn’t that surprising.

Yet you were bothered enough to comment, is your life that dull you ask inane questions?

I agree. A couple of years ago I read a feminist book by Talulah Riley called “the quickening”. Shocked me she was married to him being a “feminist”.

He’s an even more dangerous individual than Trump. Something deeply disturbing about him and the fact that he’s been given so much power in the US

Why are you posting if this is your position? Have you nothing more interesting to do?

Because one country going crazy will rebound around the globe

Elon Musk is a very strange man and that’s worrying because he effectively owns Trump and appears to enjoy throwing his weight around with other governments as well. There’s more than a touch of Dr Evil/Blofeld/Lex Luthor about him.

I believe they use surrogates as well

does make the whole thing very transactional
