"The Harem of Elon Musk" or Musk's Family Values

Let’s toss in a Lobotomy, too!

I think it’s safe to say this is not an effective method, your sample size of 1 notwithstanding. Maybe it can influence the odds a little, but a) you generally can’t predict ovulation down to the day and b) the ‘wrong’ sperm can still easily win the race.

Most if not all of his kids were conceived via IVF, which would allow selecting the sex. Don’t know why he’s not doing it the natural (and far more fun) way.

I don’t support involuntary sterilisation. But it’s a scummy way to behave. It’s not like having a family and then getting divorced; he never intended to be a father to most of his kids, and by all accounts he’s treated their mothers’ shittily too

“Special Government Employee” is as close to an actual title he holds, something akin to the “Dollar-a-Year Men” like Bernard Baruch who descended upon Washington in 1917 to assure that tens of thousands of American war deaths would achieve maximum value to the bankers and industrialists.

Trump’s take on his actual title was more vague: “Elon is, to me, a patriot. So, you know, you could call him an employee, you could call him a consultant, you could call him whatever you want. But he’s a patriot”

But his personal life reveals his preferred title: Commander

OK, a patriot, I get it*. But for which nation?

*Sarcasm, of course. And the other big patriot judging patriotism just makes it more absurd.

Do you have any defense for either the “man” or ANY of the policies?

or can you explain your use of the word propaganda, which didn’t apply to the OP so WTF?

That there (@Dallas_Jones comment) was a textbook example of rank and visceral tribalism:

  • My guy picked this guy
  • You’re all being mean to the guy my guy picked – a guy who is weak, vulnerable, and powerless to defend himself, it need be said
  • Wash
  • Rinse
  • Repeat

IMHO, it was stunning how nakedly tribal the comment was, though it really shouldn’t be. “Shocked, but never surprised.”

Nothing either more or less than that.

Now that we’re in the Pit, eat shit and go fuck yourself.

IVF is usually done because it’s the WOMAN who has a problem, usually blocked tubes.

The really creepy thing about this is his “compound”, upon which at least one of these women lives. One wonders if the women chose any of this.

I hope Musk doesn’t have a will and when he dies each of those kids inherits a billion dollars.

It is a philosophy (maybe too strong of a word) called pronatalism or natalism. It is the belief that people should have more kids. Which is often considered a pro-social drive in many religions and cultures.

Except it also has the implied (or recently outright stated) view that the right kind of people need to have more kids, otherwise we’ll be overrun by the wrong kind of people. It is a principle of the quiverfull, trad-wife, and such movements.

I haven’t kept up with the “Practical ways to increase birth rate” (or whatever it was called thread), maybe this is talked about in there.

Anyway, Musk is definitely a follower of this philosophy.

Oh sure, if you cannot attack the man, attack his wiener.

In one of the Reddit threads about Elon’s broken dick, it was pointed out that the most common reason for a penis implant to fail is that the patient doesn’t follow doctor’s orders and attempts to “use” it too soon after the operation.

It strikes me as entirely plausible that Elon ruined his own dick because he thought he knew better than doctors and tried to jerk off before hs should’ve. Also, if true, this would mean he (in a way) has the same villian origin story as Doctor Doom, which is both hilarious and fitting.

:roll_eyes: Yeah, the Pit is definitely a more fun place to hang out.

There have been cases where a woman paid for an egg from a woman, a sperm from a man, and a surrogate to carry the fetus/baby after the egg and sperm had been joined.

No kidding. He’s just gross.

Much as I love dunking on Elmo, my unfortunate involuntary introduction to hearing about his sex life came from finding out he was having scheduled threesomes with Amber Heard while she was still married to Johnny Depp during the Depp vs. Heard trial. There isn’t enough brain bleach in the world.

There are now reports that Amber may be one of Elon’s babymamas.

It’s a girl, which would explain why he hasn’t claimed that one.

So if elmo is 1 & Heard is 2, who is 3?

I find nothing odd about a rich guy paying for sex from a woman who trades on her looks and ability to behave credibly in ways she doesn’t really feel.

It’s sordid, but it’s ordinary everyday sordid. Happens every night in expensive bars and ginourmius houses all across the land.

Setting aside the paying part, lotta people who are separated pending divorce are out there dating. Nothing unusual or even wrong about it. A marriage functionally ends when somebody walks out intending not to return.

What’s bleach-worthy about such common stuff?
