Calling him successful is technically true, but it kind of glosses over some very pertinent details of his success. He's a billionaire, and you don't get to be a billionaire without doing a lot of monstrous things to good people.
The surprise isn't whether he's good looking enough to get a partner. The surprise is over the fact that there's another human being who thinks that those are qualities worth overlooking, especially one who's queer, since billionaires like Sam Altman support the current regime that's wholly against LGBTQ+ folks. And that same person with questionable tastes in partners wanted to take care of another human being with Sam Altman.
Yeah, this. Same thing with Elon.
doesnt look like it, elon has a breeding eugenics fetish. he has a breeding fetish like that 17bn-aire that just announced he will give his inhertience to his 100+children.
Saying someone’s is successful is not a moral judgement or approval of their character. Sam Altman is successful, Elon Musk is successful, all of these billionaires that built companies that have changed the world for better or wrong are all successful. This in no way means that I’m saying they’re good people or even that they are people that should be emulated or any other sort of moral judgement.
