Elon Musk's latest tweet tonight! Delighted he's advocating for children. They need a powerful voice speaking out on their behalf. Pendulum is swinging!

I haven’t seen much of what his first wife has said but his second wife (the British actress who was in St Trinians) gave quite a detailed interview in the documentary about him and what she said sounds very similar. It was also clear that she was still very fond of him. She gave the impression that she didn’t consider him a jerk but just found him very hard to live with.

Just on that first sentence. They both lost their first child. Elon has quite recently described how his eldest son died in his arms. I don't think it's unusual at all that following that, they pursued two pregnancies quite quickly. It's also not unusual that he has gone on to have more children following his marriage. My only criticism of Elon in terms of the amount of children he has, would be the use of a surrogate for his daughter with Grimes. Odds are, this was a particularly well paid surrogate, but even still, it is a murky business.

I also have more empathy with Justine than I do for most mothers who whole-heartedly endorse their child pursuing gender transition. Experiencing the loss of a child would make you much more susceptible to emotional manipulation inherent in; 'Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?'

I've read her statements on their marriage before and I believe he was what most women would consider a terrible husband due mainly to his extreme workaholism. And also what I expect is a lack of willingness to compromise in a marriage. But I don't think he's an inherently bad guy because he makes a shitty life partner.

His first wife lost a child to SIDS. She wanted 4 children but IVF doesnt always work that way.

Despite their messy divorce she has said "But I will always respect the brilliant and visionary person that he is."

Unlike the (autistic?) people rubbishing him she understands people are complex. He can certainly be a dick at times but nothing unusual in that.

So has he got ivf to work first time every time?
That would be unusual as lots of women have to go through several unsuccesful rounds.

Plus is it all on him or did his first wife have any say? Anyone asked her?

Most of us here are concerned about children being sterilized. In fact some of us more concerned with that than womens rights, its not a bad thing to prioritise.

He may well be a ‘colossal knob’, but that not the ‘end of’ anything!

You sound like a sulky teenager 😁

Any further info on this list of things Elon musk is accused of?

"Elon Musk is a colossal knob. End of."

How could one fail to be convinced by such persuasive and rational argument as this 👏🏻

It convinced me. Deal with it. 😀

Well at least you can convince yourself I suppose 🤷‍♀️*

Intelligence is more influenced by genetics than any other factor. That's a known fact. Knowing facts does not make one Hitler. But comparing everything you don't like as Hitler (thanks for today's earworm Countess) does display a startling lack of ability to think critically. An aspect of intelligence that absolutely can be taught.

Elon Musk is a smart man. He made electric cars affordable and available to the masses much more quickly than any of the big OEMs.

I wouldn't say the masses, they are pretty expensive and I certainly can't afford one. I'm not a squillionaire, but I'm not poorly paid.

I agree that he's right on this issue, but he's a dishonest bully, who believes that free speech extends to allowing slander. He called Vernon Unsworth "pedo guy" on a number of occasions, said that he was having sex with his wife when she was 13 and that he was only in Thailand for underage sex.

He paid a private investigator to get evidence to that effect, but bizarrely, won his case.

We’re having our reality taken out from under us

I can see what is being taught through the eyes of my dc

It’s very concerning

And again I've been deleted for pointing out the actual parallels between various leftist movements in history and the way they work, and the current movement which uses very similar tactics. They really don't want you to know the Denton playback, no debate, shut people down. It is so painfully obvious to me but apparently not allowed to be thought.
Literally.

Time for a song.
Everyone I Don’t Like Is Literally Hitler

Gosh catching up and doesn’t this hit the nail slap bam on the head

He sounds quite a lot like Hitler, based on that. Awfully misguided if he believes in 'clever genes'.

It convinced me. Deal with it. 😀

Your child is always your child, even if legally an adult. His transgender child is 18 - still doesnt have an adult brain as that is not fully adult until 25.

You keep repeating he's the father of a trans child, but the "child" is an adult and wants nothing to do with him.

Musk was also very abusive to his ex wife.

I don't think it's fair to call Elon a knob. Yes he is autistic and has communication difficulties so comes across blunt, but he does what he does to try to save humanity.
He believes the clever upper class need to breed fast so they don't get overrun by the lower class low iq genes. Yes eugenics but he believes it'll be good for the world to spread his clever genes.
He's trying to make electric cars, to stop climate change.
He's trying to go to Mars, to save humanity from itself.
He's trying to remove disabilities, ok bit eugenics again but he does want to help people walk.

"Elon Musk is a colossal knob. End of."

That's the problem right there, he's not on "our side". He's on his own side, which is exactly where he always is. We might be relieved that (some of) our concerns are being amplified through the world's biggest loudspeaker, but that doesn't remove the travesty of one person having so much uncontrolled influence, especially when that person is so exclusively focused on their own interests,
