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.
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.
Look at her social media posting history. Look at her published book:
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.
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??
My bad, she did not draw attention to herself whatsoever. In fact she hid in secrecy for months until he didn't uphold his end of the agreement.
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.
