yall are thinking low, sometimes Ive had the thought that if I was rich af id just be the next ghenghis khan and make my first name their last name so centuries from now everyone has my name as their last name, thats how you get in history books, anyone with khan in their name reminds ppl of ghengis khan. And its not even that negative, a kid growing up rich without their dad and likely some other dad, beats being a beggar kid wirh your ribs showing in india, like it beats my childhood of getting hit for existing, idk they got a good easy life.

Nothing scary about it unless hes having thousands of kids and raising them with personal tutors and brainwashers then placing them in positions of power across the country. Israel alreasy does that with a nation.

what was that thing about him controlling ppl in a simulation where he forced everyone to upload their brains into, im assuming that was some fake joke based off popular scifi, but I wouldnt be suprised if that was his goal with neuralink

I guess his genes being out there sucks, but yall love his daughter apparently so hating his genes while liking her would be weird

One of the creepier manifestations of his profound mental illness.

St. Clair claims she was offered $15 million and a monthly payment of $100k to stay silent about their relationship and their new son, who has been named “Romulus,” the newspaper notes.

Musk is the scum of the earth (and I’m a man), but I think even I’d carry his baby for cash like that.

We'll your heart what you deserve, which is $0 because he never actually pays these women.

There’s enough for both of us, according to the report. 🤮

You'd be his Rosemary? I'm sure your soul is worth more than that. At least hold out for half a billion.

Some wild stuff in there

[...] bringing the grand (known) total to 14. However, according to a new report, there could be more, as the unhinged oligarch has reportedly been known to send his semen to women he doesn’t even know.

[...] Musk has a habit of reaching out to female X users “through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies, according to people who have viewed the messages.” At least one of those lucky ladies is crypto influencer Tiffany Fong, whom Musk followed on X last year. Sources told the newspaper that the billionaire had sent her a DM last November “asking if she was interested in having his child.” Wong apparently declined the offer.

During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.” He has recruited potential mothers on his social-media platform X, according to some of the people.

The Journal article notes that Musk has attempted to get all the various members of his “harem” to congregate in a compound that he recently had built in Austin, Texas.

To reach legion-level before the apocalypse

That is so psychotic. Me and most of my peers don't want to have kids because of the state of the world. Meanwhile he wants as many as possible... to suffer? And it's not like he's sharing his fortune with them based on what I've read. He literally just wants them so they can die in the apocalypse? Does he know what an apocalypse is??

We should really keep talking about how Elon is the real president and Trump is just the secretary.

Use words that they understand, like pointing out how Musk is still having kids and it's been 19/20 years since Trump was able to sire a kid. In the MAGA world, doesn't that show how much more deserving Musk is and that Trump is used up?

Something to get them infighting and destroy themselves from within.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and Trump is just the secretary.

He's the Assistant to the President.

Still, Musk, like other billionaires, does seem to be obsessed with his own longevity, as can be seen by his ever-expanding family line.

Seriously, does anyone but a few historians know what Rockefeller or Carnegie look like? Most of the US don't even know who our former presidents were, much less what they looked like. In one or two generations, they'll be footnotes at best. That goes for you Bezos, Dorsey, Zuck, Bannon, Stone, etc. No one cares about you.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 week ago (10 children)

We remember Rockefeller and Carnegie because of the public works they funded. If Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg want to be remembered, build some libraries.

Isn't it weird that we let these rich paranoid dynasty freaks control so much of our world? I find it ironic that they have more money than gods, but are just as susceptible to time and bullets as us plebs. That notion helps me sleep at night.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

they are afraid of the purge episode, of rick and morty. where the alien girl gets revenge by massacre the rich people at the end for pitting the poors against each other in a purge. and thats why they all have these BUNKers all over the world so they can hide in it. elysium, 4400,,,etc.

“Without babies there’s no future, every problem becomes secondary to the problem of not having people on the planet,” said Varsavsky. “Elon believes that a country is not the geography, a country is the people.”

Speaking to an audience at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year, Musk laid out the urgency of the matter. “I think for most countries, they should view the birthrate as the single biggest problem they need to solve. If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter,” Musk told the crowd over a live video.

Possible translation: "I'm going to need many, many future slaves and test subjects for my Neuralink brain chip that will be able to read your minds and maybe even allow me to take control of your minds and bodies whenever I want. Also, I need to blast lots of controllable people to Mars. Many of them will probably die. Pilgriming is hard business, after all."

Can't believe how out of touch this sick fuck is. "Have more kids!!" Ya, ok buddy. Maybe when you make housing available and affordable. Maybe when you make it easy to have a life at home and not completely beholden to tenuous corporate interests optimized to squeeze all of someone's life and soul out of them. Maybe when you start to actually give a fuck about the future health of this planet, so if someone decides to bring new life into existence, they're not debilitated by guilt at having forced someone to live in the hellish future you're fabricating.

“Without babies there’s no future, every problem becomes secondary to the problem of not having people on the planet”

Instead, how about "With the perception of there being a really shitty future, or possibly no future, people will conscientiously refuse to bring more people into existence because they don't want to be responsible for their childrens' horrible and untimely deaths."

I, for one, would feel like a complete piece of shit if I were to reproduce today because, sorry kid, the shittiest, most hostile sociopathic people happen to be in charge now and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon...barring, of course, an extinction event you would have no chance of surviving.

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

Even if the global birth rate dropped to ~1.75 kids per woman (currently it's around 2.3), it would still take over 150 years for the world population to fall to half its current level. We are in no danger of humans becoming endangered, except by our own hands. I believe this is 100% related to him being an asshole.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

All violence aside I'm really curious how inheratance works out for all those kids

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

he will probably give to his "favorite" one, and ignore the others. like how MURDOCH is trying to exclude his non-right wing children, and tries to give it to only Lachlan murdoch.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Probably a lottery where the winner was predetermined.

asked to be a sperm donor for a high-profile Japanese influencer. “They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm,”

Interestingly, one of my favorite AV films has a title that translates more or less into, "No romance or anything, just sperm"

I thought the headline was talking about all of the DOGE preteens he brought in to destroy the government. Although maybe they are his children too?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I wonder how many times he’s sold his sperm at the sperm bank? Seems like it would be simpler and he wouldn’t owe child support.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

its all IVF , no sperm bank involve, he convinces/targets these influencers to bear his children in exchange for money.

He apparently selects only male embryos for implantation, that's why. No girls allowed >:(
