This is giving The Office “I want to have 100 kids so I can have 100 friends and no one can say no to being my friend.” energy
It’s really not funny TBH, it’s all tied to his views on eugenics (or whatever euphemism is used) and frankly horrific visions of the future he shares with a few lower profile billionaires.
It’s not, but I’ll make fun of him every chance I get bc he takes it really personally apparently.
Meanwhile, there’s his daughter that absolutely hates his guts
She’s an icon imo
As if his sorry assed genetic material should be passed on. Why do all nazis assume they’re the “superior race”?
Because being white is the biggest accomplishment of their life
That’s not a compliment
If you have to beg and bully people into fucking you, you’re not part of anything superior.
And he’s lying to these women. He keeps the ones he wants and doesn’t give a shit about the rest.
Not to be a spoil sport but rating how good it bad ANY genetic material is always feels icky to me. If we want to fully move away from eugenics, we need to stop its narrative even in case of garbage humans like musk, too.
I respect your position but have to disagree.
Trump, Musk ,and probably most of their circle come from families that have a strong inclination towards psychopathy. While there surely are ecological causes for this the probability of genetic causes supporting this are high.
Capitalism and before that feudalism has positively selected psychopaths for centuries. It’s time we stopped breeding people incapable of empathy.
Inbreeding usually returns pretty ‘icky’ results as far as genetic damage is concerned.
Valid. Musk is garbage, his DNA has nothing to do with it & pivots from the main point; garbage people like him deserve no pity.
Because they have nothing going for them. So they look at an old portrait of some long dead white dude who actually did something nice (like make music they never listen to, or wrote poetry they never read or understand) and say that this is all belongs to them.
Declining population, my ass. There were less than 4.5 billion people on the planet when I was born. That fash-hole is only worried that white people will represent a minority of the future population. Nothing more.
If they Thanos snapped all non-white people on the planet, I guarantee you, the French, European Spanish, Irish, and others will suddenly be non-white and be enslaved to do former jobs. They will insist they dress differently and even tattoo them from infancy to insist they are very genetically different from ‘proper’ whites and thus are only fit for slavery.
No points for guessing. The Irish and the Spanish have already been considered “not white” at points in recent history. So have the Italians.
There is a long and storied history of western and northern Europeans hating Italians.
Decline population is an actual thing…? Not defending this asshole or anything but your statement is seemingly based off of a lack of information.
Birth rates in many developed countries are incredibly low well below maintenance levels. Meaning that aside from immigration the population in most developed countries is actually going down quite rapidly.
Which given the way our societies and financial systems are structured generally means some form of disaster for those countries if such decline occurs.
There’s even a pretty good recent video talking about what this looks like in South Korea
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-replacement_fertility
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate
Blue indicates below replacement levels:
Well, we’re going to have to figure out how to level off or shrink our population eventually. Might as well do it now while there are still some wild animal species that haven’t gone extinct.
A lower population isn’t that bad. It’s just that the transition when you have a very large old population and a small young one is very difficult.
Watch this video, ignore the clickbait sounding title:
It completely changed my view on that.
Basically, without high birth rates, countries are totally screwed. Immigration (which skews young, from high birth rate countries), has softened that issue for the US, hence you don’t hear about it as much here. One can wave their hands and say “elder care and the economy will be automated in the future,” but that’s wishful thinking if you ask me.
Figuring out how to more efficiently house/care for a glut of humans farther in the future is way more practical. Honestly we’re ridiculously inefficient now; there’s a lot of low hanging fruit to pick. And we can use much higher technology to address that.
Damn, Africa FUCKS.
Decades of the Catholic church demonizing birth control methods and claiming condoms cause AIDS will do that do a continent.
No… Not really. This happens to literally every country as it develops.
Africa is experiencing Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition
Still one billion in 1804
two billion in 1927
three billion in 1960
four billion in 1974
five billion in 1987
six billion in 1999
seven billion in 2011
eight billion in 2022Already too many for my taste.
And no to all, don’t react with irrelevant “there’s enough food for…” or Malthusian bla bla
It must be said again.
There are no good billionaires. Every one of them is doing stupid shit like this while people starve to death, in public or in secret.
Even minding one’s own business while the world is as it is could be considered evil, with those kind of resources at their disposal
Even the likes of gates and warren aren’t good. Gates has been criticized by making it took expensive for those countries
Would be awesome to see all of his businesses fail to the point he can’t cover his child support.
Who says he pays it?
This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election
Someone should totally try to catfish him, though. Sounds like it wouldn’t be all that challenging
This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election
We so far have:
- Trump turning the White House in a Tesla dealership
- Trump putting tarrifs on penguins, but not on Russia
- US warplans leaked because someone doesn’t know how to use his phone
- The US becoming a crypto bro.
- The US looking to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland while also looking to extort the rest of the fucking planet.
- The US stealing the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico.
Just to name a few. We are only 4 months into his term people. I’d say Elon humping everything that moves is just a regular tuesday.
I’m not disagreeing, it is in a lot of ways just a regular Tuesday, but just read this. It is much much crazier than Musk humping everything that moves. https://gizmodo.com/it-certainly-looks-like-elon-musks-legion-of-kids-is-bigger-than-anyone-imagined-2000590199
A lot of that stuff is tragic and hard to believe, and I agree with you that all of it happening at once is completely crazy. But to me this article illustrates a more granular and fundamental level of Elon’s psychology that’s deeply messed up. Though of course I can’t say I’m surprised that he behaves this way behind closed doors
he would probably have his army of handlers and lawyers crush you to death with court documents
What. THE.
FUCK.
I put it on archive.md for anybody that couldn’t see past the paywall like myself. (Sorry for the hijack but I wanted to see it quickly.) I’m not sure how everyone else is managing to read it for free tho.
Ah yes make money exploiting people, use it to exploit people, so glad we’re too enlightened to tax these people or bind them to our laws.
They way he treats his kids, he is building a legion to hunt him down
1 serves as. A human shield at all times, only until he gets too old the rest are his organ bank replacements. And he only wants male offspring
I’d watch that show.
I find it weird that he can be like that and still be alive. Does he bring security to absolutely everywhere he is?
It’s easy to forget just how much money a billion dollars is, let alone hundreds of billions.
You could hire three hundred people at a very generous salary of $250k/year. 8 hour shifts, that gives you 100 people guarding you 24/7. That would $75 million/year. You could do that off the investment income from a single billion dollars. Pay them the salary more typical of a security guard, like $50k/year, and Musk could be surrounding 24/7 by one hundred thousand security guards, and it would cost him $15 billion/year. He has enough wealth to afford that if he really wanted to. The man could take a cue from ancient Rome and commission his own army if he wanted to.
We need to eliminate billionaires. No one should have this type of power.
He also wouldn’t even pay that and syphon money from his companies as business expense either way.
We’re in dire need of some italian plumbing.
this has to be satire, there’s no way
Musk is another one of these rich, eugenics idiots with a breeding fetish. It’s even creepier because his dick doesn’t work anymore thanks to botched penis surgery. All his kids were conceived through artificial insemination.
We’ve already had reports of him propositioning employees for sex for money. You don’t think he considers everyone on Twitter his property?
He try to buy off one of the girls he sexually harassed by offering her a horse once
It is absolutely not satire. It’s a drooling nethandreal with no higher order thought than “sex sex mine mine!”
This is a known mindset among Silicon Valley uber wealthy.
If ever a man needed to be stripped of his power and influence
God and I thought the plot of the Fallout TV show was absurd with the “Bud’s Buds” shit but it’s literally real
They had to find inspiration somewhere…
I am not surprised. Elon is an accelerationist who believes that the next social turmoil will definitely be coming. But since it is going to happen, he thinks it is better if it comes sooner rather than later.
That’s thiels shtick too,.but they know the end is coming so they built compounds in other countries once the masses turn on them
If you have watched The Fallout TV series, the billionaires might be on to something. Or rather, the writers know something that we don’t!
4400 was another show like that. the premise was the scientists from the futures was trying to change the course of history by "abducting people form random timelines, and bestow them with superhuman abilities and send them back all at the same time through a “meteor ship”, it was to stop the oligarchs, i assume who have squandered and build a enclave a perfect cities for themselves and kept everyone out in a slum-mad max future.
