    I don’t know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

      Funny thing is I think a lot of these babies were by surrogacy and in vitro fertilization, I don’t think there was actually a lot of sex going on with any of these women.

      That’s what I read, I could be wrong

        It’s probably why he has lots of kids to compensate for something. Probably to signal that he has sex when he really hasn’t. Ketamine abuse can cause erectile dysfunction and I bet his sperm is immotile

          I would bet my eyes that he firmly believes in the superiority of his sperm. Eugenics is on par for nazis

            That reminds me of Telegram founder Pavel Durov who donated his sperm to hundreds of women, and now he wants all of his children to have a big meeting. Rich people are fucked up (and this wants me to leave Telegram).

            Not just him but undoubtedly millions of fellow Americans.

            When one is dead and broken inside, they look to external quantitative factors for validation. They convince themselves that the more measurable & “objective” those factors are, the more they must be representing some underlying truth. They represent the meaning of life.

            And the shitty thing is that those who only care about money and power see the worst of humanity getting rewarded with more money and more power.

            Their fucked up personal lives aren’t evidence of something wrong with them. They are evidence that such silly feel-good nonsense is unnecessary at best, and a terrible weakness at worst. You know, the kind of shit you’d expect from a cartoon villain in a children’s movie.

            Edit to add an anecdote: I’m sure people from conservative families will feel this one. Say in front of one of the broken people that Musk is an idiot and a bad father, and the reply will be something like “well he’s made a million times as much money as you, so that shows how smart you are!” Or maybe “his kids are set for life - have you done something like that for your kids?”
