    Elon is quite crazy. But objectively if you wanted children and are capable of taking care of them in your own, then elon is the golden goose. In terms of intelligence you could do worse, especially if he offered, which is probably because you are and intelligent and accomplished white woman. Good chances for genetically great offspring. Which is what white supremacists are going for. And then there is a shitload of money your children will be literally taken care of completely. Ghengis Khan didn’t have hundreds of children for no reason.

      I mostly agree finically. However, I am not sold on Elon’s “genus”. Also, you would be stoking his already over-inflated ego.

        Im not saying he is a genius. Im saying he is still probably top ten percent in terms of intelligence just because he is an engineer.

          Objectively, looking at what he says and what he does, Elon is one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the face of the planet.

          Being born into apartheid money and using that influence to be near smart people doesn’t make him smart.

          This is the “you can’t use OSHA safety yellow because I don’t like the color” and the “you have to disable the forklift backup alarm because it’s annoying” guy.

          The “Nazi salute on the most public venue” guy.

          The “completely erode the integrity and monetary value of a trusted social media network instead of just sitting back and letting it print money for me” guy.

          The “call a legitimate child saving hero a pedophile publicly because my feelings are hurt because nobody liked my custom built submarine idea” guy.

          I can’t think of one objectively smart thing that he has done–not something he used the racist heritage money to simply be near–but the number of stupid fucking things just keeps coming.

          He’s not an engineer. Nor is there much evidence of being particularly intelligent. He’s great at social engineering though and is able to create an elite ‘reality distortion field’ that’s second to none, but he’s not smart in the way that he pretends.

          He’s the world’s most successful poser.

        As far as I remember he didn’t cut them off, they chose to distance themselves. The reasons are understandable IMHO.

    This is a very old story, but I didnt know she was also an OpenAI board member. When the story broke it was about her being a Neuralink exec.

    This isnt the only women he’s donated sperm to either.

    “And as a bonus for this past year’s excellent work, you shall receive: a sample of my sperm”

    Is anyone else reminded of Pierce’s will from Community season 5?

    I wonder if at some point he ever read about how 1 in 7 (or whatever) humans are descended from Ghengis Khan.

    I know he says all kinds of wacko stuff about fertility rates and population collapse, but when have his motivations ever been even that bit more complex than wanting to imitate/join the cool/funny thing he found online? I seriously wonder…

      Possibly even more pathetic than that, rumor is his dick is literally broke due to a botched penile extension surgery so it requires medical tech to do.
