    Mark my words, he’ll become the world’s first trillionaire by way of embezzling from the government. He’s always been a grifter.

    Also, Grimes is disgusting for not only having three children with him, but for writing a song “We appreciate power” when they first started up. A truly disgusting display on her part.

      He bought the United States government. Plain and simple. He backed all of Trump’s shenanigans, was pivotal in his win, and now Trump is going to allow him to twist and break our government in whichever way is going to net him more power. I have no doubt he will make obscene amounts of money from this but the non-fungible benefits are what really scare me. Someone mentioned Musk focusing on ICBM production moving forward and I don’t know if I fully buy into that idea but it is a terrifying one.

      She will go down in history as a poor artist and the biggest gold digger

      It is disappointing.

      She says he’s no longer recognisable as the man she loved, but if she’d spoken much to his first wife she’d’ve been given all the details on how messed up he was.

        So I have this theory that Elon has only ever experienced love once in his entire life. Think about it; who does he interact with? His parents, other CEOs, VC types, servants. They all want something from him. He has the most powerful people in the world (and a whole subclass of weird guy) in line to sack ride him. That must just seem like how the world is supposed to be. And then he starts dating Grimes, who is a relatively normal person, who shows him real genuine love.

        And then they break up in a real, genuine, and actually pretty normal way, and Musk is in no way emotionally prepared for it, like a teenager. So he gets mad at everything she taught him, at everything they shared, at everything he was when he was with her. But most interestingly, he can’t buy the thing she gave him, so he’s been trying to convince himself it was an illusion that never existed in the first place.

          His dad was also a fucked up example of a man.

          He chain married and bred women, including the daughter of one of his wives.

          Musk’s birther fetish/life goal is just copy-pasted from the shitheel of a dad who seemed to have little care for any of the kids he pumped into many different women.

        I get what you’re saying- there was a pattern of behaviour established before. But I’m cracking up at the idea of sitting down and interviewing a potential partner’s exes to see if the relationship is a good fit.

          If you’re planning to have one or more children with someone, speaking to the person they divorced after more than a decade of marriage is probably a sensible idea.

            Well, anecdotally I didn’t and it’s going well so far. I feel like trusting the honesty of the person you’re with to be open about their past should work
