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.
Well. I certainly didn’t have “Murdoch turns on a right-wing billionaire” on my 2025 hellscape bingo card.
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
this has to be satire, there’s no way
It is absolutely not satire. It’s a drooling nethandreal with no higher order thought than “sex sex mine mine!”
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?
Mate. I honestly shuddered reading your comment. Mainly cos it’s fucking true
He try to buy off one of the girls he sexually harassed by offering her a horse once
This is a known mindset among Silicon Valley uber wealthy.
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
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.
Valid. Musk is garbage, his DNA has nothing to do with it & pivots from the main point; garbage people like him deserve no pity.
If you have to beg and bully people into fucking you, you’re not part of anything superior.
“Please like me, everyone.”

Humans best trick is lying to themselves.
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.
It already passed on 13 times…
Still doesn’t mean it should’ve.
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?
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.
Figuring out how to more efficiently house/care for a glut of humans farther in the future is way more practical.
Our government’s started means testing care services due to the projected costs and loss of tax income as the population ages and costs increase.
It doesn’t help that the only form of economic management they do is offer tax cuts, they’re getting less and less tax out of an already declining share of the population.
Damn, Africa FUCKS.
Decades of the Catholic church demonizing birth control methods and claiming condoms cause AIDS will do that do a continent.
For those that haven’t seen it, this is a great digestible video of the problem
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 blaAnd no to all, don’t react with irrelevant “there’s enough food for…” or Malthusian bla bla
So, don’t bother you with the downside of what’s actually going to happen? What’s in the middle of happening? You’re just going to do a little cherry-picking, then tell us don’t bother you with facts?

You can already see it in real time by looking at the demographics in South Korea and Japan. The only reason the numbers are offset is that a few countries are still net positive enough to offset them.
Our great-grandkids are in for one hell of a ride. If we let it drop enough, they’ll be in forced breeding situations.
A world with a lot less people sounds like a dream TBH.
No overcrowded cities, no chasing animals of their land or destroying it for resources, etc…Are you dense?
A world with less you would be a good start, and I’ll help with that gladly
You just said you would murder me…so, yes?
your great grandkids living in total economic collapse. peachy
Infinite growth was never gonna last forever.
Carefully planned level sustainability wasn’t off the table. No one even tried.
Applying pressure to the middle class just topples the cards
That’s a capitalism problem, not a demographic one.
Then why are communist countries also seeing the same problem?
If you can get even low quality robots that can provide some amount of elder care, even if it’s just reminding them to take prescriptions and helping them walk, then you can drastically reduce the economic problems. there will be massive shortages of basic CNA and nursing home care workers.
Caring for the elderly is unfortunately a very small piece of the pie. A small number of CNA can handle a pretty decent number of elderly, in a facility.
Of course, we (corporate) stretch those CNA as thin as possible.
Automation in every industry that we’re so worried about being our undoing will soften the blow.
It’s possible that nanny bots could eventually help ease daycare costs.
Problematically anytime somebody creates something that reduces financial cost for someone else, They usually end up charging them significant amounts for it. Those inexpensive elderly care robots will end up being subscriptions and have planned obsolescence. Everybody’s got to get a piece of that pie.
You sure have a sunny outlook.
And it’s really going great now with all those people and their economiesMy outlook is based on studies, and this crap is studied a lot. and also on readily observable evidence.
It’s dire, and it’s not based on my opinion.
The only reason to believe it would be better with less people is delusional fantasy.
The problem isn’t population, it’s policy.
Cities aren’t generally overcrowded because they have no other choice, they’re overcrowded because cities typically offer the best opportunities. If the population were to drop three quarters overnight, people would flock to cities.
Land use is also about want, not need. We don’t have to do it to sustain our population and its growth, it’s just the cheapest (re: most profitable) option.
When she didn’t sign the NDA, the payments were reportedly slashed, and eventually cut again to $20,000 a month.
Oh no! Only 20,000 dollahs!? That poor woman must now be living on water and bread for the rest of her life!
Listen, I get it - Musk is using his money to manipulate people and he’s an asshole for that, but the cry story is just bleh.
Jesus fucking Christ, your mentality right now is that hush money is okay. You’re saying that because she’s getting a lot of money she shouldn’t complain.
He promised $15m and $100k / month. Would you honestly sleep with Musk and carry the weirdo’s kid for any less? I’d need $20k/mo just to have dinner with the guy once.
These comments are just painful.
You’re sitting there eating left overs in your studio apartment wondering how you’ll make your next car payment and you’re seriously going to pretend you have the morals to deny 1x dinner with musk for $20k a month for the rest of your life?
Absolute bullshit.
I gave up my top tech career for about that amount, I’m privileged enough to do so. So absolutely yes. Check my post history where I burned bridges with xAI lol.
This lady is probably being lambasted through the media as a whore, death threats, legal risk, etc. So yes just to meet with the guy and put my life at risk I would abso-fucking-lutely need a shit ton of cash. Musk is one of the most dangerous people alive.
Yeah, at the very least she needs security and lawyers. 20K is little enough to endanger her life.
…On the other hand, she’s an influencer farming attention. And not in a good way. That cuts a lot of my empathy short.
….On the other hand, she’s an influencer farming attention. And not in a good way. That cuts a lot of my empathy short.
How the hell is exposing weird shit an evil person says and his bribes to give you hush money “farming attention?” You’re victim blaming.
Work is work, but yea calling attention to herself is pretty dumb NGL.
How does one say they’ve been the victim of something without drawing attention to themselves??
Look at her social media posting history. Look at her published book:
BRAVE Books and Ashley St. Clair partnered to write “Elephants Are Not Birds,” a Christian, Conservative children’s book that tackles the topic of gender identity. In the book, children will learn that boys are not girls, and Elephants Are Not Birds.
I retract/regret what I said… I didn’t mean to victim blame. This sucks for her and she doesn’t deserve one bit of it, nor does her abuser deserve any sympathy. She deserves empathy.
But she also appears to have made a living peddling (IMO) hate far and wide. I am struggling to express/process how I feel about that… it’s a tragic irony, I guess? And frustration at that whole ecosystem she was in (which Musk is at the very tippy top of).
For sure, nobody smart would take the deal with Musk. Only a dumb hateful person. But dumb hateful people still deserve safety and honesty, even if they don’t dole it out.
yeah, because some of us have a conscience and will remember his disgusting behavior for the rest of our lives.
not everyone has morals as loose as yours.
Now that’s not fair. Not everyone has the privilege to flip off Musk in that scenario. I do but most wouldn’t. I don’t blame Woht24 or any of the women Musk lured in.
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.
We’re in dire need of some italian plumbing.
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 the likes of gates and warren aren’t good. Gates has been criticized by making it took expensive for those countries
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
Looking at his current kids, I don’t think they’re going to form up as HIS legion…
He wants to also have a harem of females in Texas complex
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.
