I am not surprised. Elon is an accelerationist who believes that the next social turmoil will definitely be coming. But since it is going to happen, he thinks it is better if it comes sooner rather than later.

How many heirs fighting in courts all over the world does it take to redistribute a multi-billioniare's wealth through court fees, lawyer fees, accountants, penalties, etc until none of them are supreme-wealthy anymore? Just never work again wealthy.

Even if some of them don't really want it, they could still find lawyers to fight on contingency and let them drain the wealth. Then donate whatever they might eventually get, if anything.

For example, Anna Nicole and her late husband's son effectively fed lawyers for years and years. Michael Jackson's estate has been tied up in litigation for decades. And Mike had 3 kids, Anna one surviving kid.

With over a dozen and counting Leon kids, and a ton of potential other types of suits incoming from world-wide plantiffs, it'll be interesting to see how that estate eventually gets drained and dispersed.

He’s such a weird little creep

Would be awesome to see all of his businesses fail to the point he can't cover his child support.

My contempt for this man has reached levels previously thought far outside the realm of possibility.

God and I thought the plot of the Fallout TV show was absurd with the "Bud's Buds" shit but it's literally real

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.

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.

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.

this has to be satire, there’s no way

We've already had reports of him propositioning employees for sex for money. You don't think he considers everyone on Twitter his property?

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.

Looking at his current kids, I don't think they're going to form up as HIS legion....
