    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.

          The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.

          Coercion is rape.

            Is there something stopping her from having a job like a normal person instead of making money on Twitter? She doesn’t have kids, she can do whatever else she wants. At some point, you have to admit that staying where you are is a choice you’re making.

            From the WSJ article this article is referencing:

            Fong didn’t move forward with Musk because she pictured having children in a more traditional nuclear family, but confided to a few friends about the approach—including St. Clair, whom she knew as another conservative social-media figure—and how she worried that turning him down could hurt her earnings.

            Once Musk learned that Fong disclosed the request to others, he chided her for not using discretion, according to the people, and unfollowed her. That contributed to a fall in her engagement, and her earnings declined.

            Taking money/resources away from people who don’t follow along is what Elon does. She knew that beforehand and made the choice not to have a kid with him with that knowledge in mind. Elon tried to coerce her and she dealt with the consequences of refusing.

    So this guy has time to be CEO of twitter, spacex, xai, starlink, tesla, boring company, head of DOGE and still has time to try to hook up with thousands of girls online? Something tells me CEOs are pretty useless if you can be running that many companies each week.

            Hitler had no known offspring. His relatives did, and those children decided to not have children so Hitler’s line would die out.

              Tbh if they’re not direct descendents, his line is already gone. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Is my 10th cousin 11 times removed part of my line?

        Vivian Wilson deserves to live. Just because she has a shitty excuse of a father, doesn’t mean that his sins are hers to inherit. It is a choice of the children whether their parent’s beliefs live on.

    How many heirs fighting in courts all over the world does it take to redistribute a multi-billioniare’s wealth through court fees, lawyer fees, accountants, penalties, etc until none of them are supreme-wealthy anymore? Just never work again wealthy.

    Even if some of them don’t really want it, they could still find lawyers to fight on contingency and let them drain the wealth. Then donate whatever they might eventually get, if anything.

    For example, Anna Nicole and her late husband’s son effectively fed lawyers for years and years. Michael Jackson’s estate has been tied up in litigation for decades. And Mike had 3 kids, Anna one surviving kid.

    With over a dozen and counting Leon kids, and a ton of potential other types of suits incoming from world-wide plantiffs, it’ll be interesting to see how that estate eventually gets drained and dispersed.

      His money is basically incomprehensible to how we regularly think. If he hired a law firm to work on each case 24/7 for the entire year at $5000/hr, and then even if each inheritance case took 20 years and he had 50 children suing him simultaneously it’d cost him billions–but he’d still have hundreds of billions left. Fuck billionaires

        I think net worth is pretty different of what real assets he may have which is what his descendants would inherit theoretically. But still ot eill be a truckload.

        Wait so 24*7*365*5000*20*50 is less then what this man owns??

        = $306.600.000.000

        Damn.

        edit: the * mssed with the formatting, by the way crazy fact, the lawfirm in this case would bill 1.226.400 hours per case/child.

          Even smaller, 24x365, drop the 7 in your equation since that just tells us to bill all 365 days of the year

            A lol, thank you, IANA mathematician obviously. Well to keep the math correct, we could say the lawfirm had 7 people work the case 24hrs 365 days a year.

              The 7 people is already implied by 5000$/hour to a firm. It’s possible, but no single lawyer charges 5000$/hour.

    Is it weird to anyone else that he just assumes his “legion” of children will follow him unquestioningly?

    My dad keeps giving me stock “tips” (my stepsister works at a gold mine and he keeps telling me their stock’ll go up any day now despite the mine not being in operation yet 🙄) and I haven’t even followed through on that.

    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.
