I’m not seeing much thought about the rights of the children through this.

Paywall, unfortunately.

I'm not seeing much at all - the article is behind a pay wall.

There was an archive link in the tweet but thanks Ruby

Well, the man wants freedom of speech, so….

That is a disturbing read, although his attitude was well-known a long time ago. Justine Musk said that she was never able to speak directly to him again after the day that they separated, everything was done via his PA from that moment forth…

It also shows that he was quite serious in his comment to Taylor Swift!

I found it disturbing. St Clair will no doubt have all sorts of misogynistic tropes thrown at her but she’s standing up for the rights of her child. Who seems to be seen as an object by Musk.

Serial sperm donors are a thing. Watch the man with 1000 babies, it's horrifying. At least this guy can afford them.

And the way he courted/ stalked / boosted a woman on Twitter (who then saw her Twitter follows and earnings boosted) and propositioned her. Who then felt coerced (?) into doing as he said. And then dropped like as stone, and Twitter follow earnings gone with it.

Sorry about not seeing the archive link on twitter- you can’t see beyond the front article without an account.

I’m torn. It’s an appalling attitude and I don’t like the whole seeding the population with his awesomeness stuff.

However once you move past that, the rest of it makes sense for a man in his position. I would think there are a lot of high profile people who run their affairs the same way- top actors, Rockefeller, Kennedy types. Prince Andrew…

Now by my standards it’s immoral and distasteful, but that’s not my world. There’s a logic to it.

The man is an interesting mix between brilliant and clueless, and has the money to get his own way whether he’s right or wrong. It’s not unusual for men in that position to insist on it, I don’t think.

<my experience with men in that position is zilch, but men generally seem to wield their power happily when they can>

Its amazing how many men want a Genghis Khan legacy.

But everyone knows at this point that he just wants a tally of offspring, not a family life, so i dont know why women are getting involved with him in the first place.

When I read the article this morning I did ponder for a minute what it must be like to live life without many consequences. Ex-partner annoying you? Your fixer can handle it. Want to split up? Just drive away from the house. Calls you don’t want to take? Just pull a brand new phone out of a drawer.

The only thing he can’t do is make a person like or love him.

There are about 70 million new people added to the world's population every year, so I don't share Elon Musk's concern about civilisation crumbling if people don't procreate more.

Unless of course he means that 70 million people who don't look act and think just like him = civilisation crumbling🙄

I wasn't going to comment on this with so many other issues today but ... I think Musk is if not imbalanced not connected to the real world!

And I have no doubt that men with a lot of money round the world have any number of children, and not necessarily attempting to support the mother and chidl(ren)

But what I cant understand is why, when Musk has been known as a public person (ie his odd ideas), would any woman want anything to do with him.

I am not blaming them, and am glad some feel strong enough to challenge him.

But why did they ever get involved.

Why did they want to help him father whatever number of children it now is.

I wonder what the children themselves will think, once they are older and able to think for themselves. Especially when ever one will know about them.

Money and power are incredible aphrodisiacs. Musk also has the money to pay to get his own way. He behaves as he sees fit because he isn't answering to anyone or upholding any particular standards.

As a businessman he must have some charisma otherwise he wouldn't get very far. He can doubtless turn on the charm when he chooses.
