To be very weirded out by Elon Musks reproductive choices

260 replies

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.

None of that is about Mr Musks reproductive choices, which is what the thread is about.

There are plenty of threads about what you are droning on about, just like there are far more dangerous unelected people in foreign governments such as Putin and Xi Jingping.

“droning”, “whinging” - misogynistic verbs.

Stop trying to silence voices against “Mr Musk”.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere before that he chooses to breed with 'beautiful and intelligent' women to populate the world with a 'supreme DNA'. Which just adds to his recent Nazi and other far right behaviours. Just a really nasty guy.

maybe just think for a nano-second about the implications of a very dangerous unelected weird individual like Musk having an office in the White House and having unfettered access to another madman in Trump, with all the power and influence that his billions brings, in an economy the size of US $30.3Bn.

it reminds me of the similarly strange situation when that unelected weirdo Dominic Cummings became Johnson's strategic adviser, he was equally as dangerous. Thank goodness his eyesight failed in Barnard Castle, hopefully Musk will meet a similar fate.

Dominic Cummings seems like Mother Theresa in comparison

I think the US economy is actually 30 trillion

He appalls and terrifies me in equal measures. That scene in the Oval Office with his four year old son X (FFS!) in tow was off the scale in weird and troubling behaviour. I think that the women who have children with him are very odd too and I feel very sorry for the kids being brought up in his world

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

I am sure you are familiar with the expression "when America sneezes the world catches a cold". America is now in a very volatile state and is effectively being run by Musk. I find that very concerning

Charley50 · 15/02/2025 15:39

Plenty of unelected influence over the recent Democratic governments. Billionaire Pritzker family firmly behind and funding the transgender agenda.

Clocloxx · 15/02/2025 15:40

He is very very strange person, I see there planning on banning the morning after pill in America now

lifeonmars100 · 15/02/2025 15:41

MrsMurphyIWish · 15/02/2025 14:23

Exactly - with his insane wealth, money means nothing. He needs a purpose, a pursuit.

perhaps he should learn to knit or crochet! That might take his mind off world domination 😄

Overtheatlantic · 15/02/2025 15:42

NinaNobody · 15/02/2025 14:31

I can't help but like him. I can understand why he wants to pass on his genes and it's not like he can't afford them?!

You certainly can help it.

TooBigForMyBoots · 15/02/2025 15:42

LauraNorda · 15/02/2025 15:10

Of course you can speak out but whingeing about a foreign government you have zero impact on when we have enough problems of our own is totally pointless.

Why are you bothered about what we talk about? Is your own life so dull?Wink

Woooaaahhhh…. fucking hell. That’s insane. My God.

IcedPurple · 15/02/2025 15:45

His children are almost all male, aren't they?

I wonder if that's coincidence or choice.

Not bothered at all. Gripe as much as you like. For all the good it will do you. My life? Just getting on with it as normal.

Do you know what is utterly fascinating with this thread and certain others. Some of you are what you hate. Some of the replies are so disturbing and not based in any fact.

Absolutely.

“Gripe”, added to the list of misogynistic verbs.

He has ASD and was genuinely massively bullied as a child, and lost himself in all these grandiose science fiction fantasies.

Sadly, his trauma did not heal.

As he acts like the public stereotype of a "mad genius" people think he is one (especially as he is a white man from a rich family).

He's the master of PR not science. Even his various baby-mothers are part of the racket to get him in the headlines.

Even adopting the name Tesla - Musk sees himself as some misunderstood genius. But Tesla was quietly doing the science he wanted without much external reward.

He's definitely intelligent and does some interesting work(I enjoy seeing the rockets do their thing).

But a lack of humility and people being too subservient to his wealth means that he didn't take the time to just sit and be thoughtful and focus on doing one thing well.

Part of his success is he knows how to play the mob and the media, but he doesn't actually respect himself or the people who gravitate to him.

Reminds me of Citizen Kane.

If he really believes in all these things he says he could easily follow through.

With his wealth, he could buy an island with perfect conditions (probably a few), populate it with blonde, slim, intelligent people who meet his definition of what PROPER humans should be.

He could give them unlimited laboratories and educational and scientific facilities.

Call it the Alpha X Ray Zen 557883 Tribe.

They don't need to see any of the ugly, stupid, woke plebs.

Then - of course - once he's got rid of all the horrible Muslims and woke people destroying everything, his Alpha Tribe would have amazing scientific results and live in perfect harmony.

Elon Musk himself SHOULD be able to produce amazing results once his Aryan intelligence stops getting bullied by brown people.

(isn't he just randomly latching onto brown men on X now, no connection, and asking them to sue him so he can play the victim?).

Surprise surprise....he won't do this 😂

Stop trying to silence voices against “Mr Musk”.

What about 'complain', 'grouse', 'gripe', 'moan', 'carp', 'mither', 'bellyache'? I suppose all those are 'misogynistic' too, just because someone is saying something you don't like or want to hear?

I don't want to silence anyone. You continue yelling at the clouds if you like. It's amusing.

HotTake · 15/02/2025 15:53

He may or may not be on the spectrum but he has not been diagnosed as having ASD. He self-diagnosed himself (it's written in his biography). As someone who claims to like facts and not self ID, I'll wait till he's diagnosed by a medical professional before I take it as "fact" that he is autistic. It's not like he doesn't have the money to buy do that.

It was on America Newsweek published yesterday, Republicans proposed to ban morning after pill...

His dad has two children with his own stepdaughter. He married her mother when she (stepdaughter) was three and stayed married to her for 19 years. Beyond grim.No wonder Elon is like he is with that example.

That is untterably grim.

soupyspoon · 15/02/2025 16:02

What relevance is it if he is ND?

Serpentstooth · 15/02/2025 16:03

Banning the morning after pill? I think it's time to ban man's favourite stress-reliever and maybe boxes of Kleenex? Just think of all that unfertilised sperm going to waste every day, struggling little potential geniuses flushed away every hour of every day, no chance to reach the destiny the Good Lord intended. It's an outrage, they've been given no chance of life. Shame on you, Republicans of America, bring on the Wankers Ban. You know its the next logical step. Perhaps you could introduce the Dominic Cummings Eye Test to prove it's working?

Exactly. Like it makes it any more palatable that he's a narcissistic arsehole, to say the least. Even if he's ND, that isn't what has made him the evil pos that he is.
