“My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk tweeted. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”

And now he's throwing his own dead kid under the bus. But hey, it's a money bus.

She continued: “Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada’s death. I didn’t understand this, just as he didn’t understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as ‘emotionally manipulative’.

This is horrible.

I can't even imagine telling any grieving mother, let alone my wife, to stop talking about her dead baby because it makes me feel bad.

But free speech /s

How can you tell when Elon is lying?

His mouth os moving..

Imagine being so wealthy and powerful you never have to be ashamed. Elmo will never have to be confronted with criticism except on his own terms. Their are legions who will stroke his ego and eloquently explain why he's always in the right.

Never being confronted with your mistakes is worse than making you arrogant... it rots your fucking brain. You become lazy and uncritical of yourself. You become stupid. Being a "great man" is a degenerative neurological disorder.

Gee, next thing he'll probably accuse someone of trying to blackmail him by paying him.

I'm starting to think these right-wingers just aren't trustworthy!

Do you think he describes himself as a dad or does he require being called a founder?

The best part about rich people is they suffocate just like the rest of us if you put plastic bags over their heads. Same with falling from great heights. You'd think they bounce and be fine but nope, they pop right open

He probably has his children call him Mr. Musk.

They're not people to be loved, they're just part of his plan to fight the bullshit Great Replacement of white people he and his white supremacist friends are convinced is happening.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I doubt they talk to him at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

His trans daughter certainly doesn't. She disowned him. Imagine how terrible a father he has to be to disown the richest man in the world.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

And he was lying about that too.
