        He looks like he thinks he has a hypersensitivity to electricity, and he screwed his brother out of a partnership with his law firm because he didn't like his brother's past.

    In an interview with Rolling Stone, Elon broke down in tears as he spoke about his father, saying: “My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil. Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done. It’s so terrible, you can’t believe it.”

    ...I did not think I would ever feel pity for Musk, yet here I am

      Yeah, literally the only good thing about Elon Musk is how much he despises his father. Don't get me wrong, Elon is a financier who made it to the top, and the damage he can do is much higher than any other individual, but his father just seems like a psychopath. Also he is apparently extremely untethered to reality and lies seemingly for the fun of it.

      We have a few of them on this site, and those seem like cool guys. Though I don't really know if they're white or not, I just kind of assume that they are.

        There's also quite a few cool white Americans and Brits here, and many of them would be the first to talk about how they hate their white countrymen.

    There's a very Fedora-tier energy to the "We just exist to reproduce" statement. The sort of shit you'd say jokingly while drinking coffee as a sophomore college kid, after barely squeaking by on your Bio 301 final. Coming from a fucking ghoul like this when being asked about his best Woody Allen impersonation, you have to marvel at the degree to which people will just ingest each others bullshit.

    Even then, the only reason this is news is because Elon Musk is recognized as a kind-of Capitalist Royalty. And his father having a "secret kid" alludes to some kind of fantastic dynastic struggle between heirs to the throne. Nevermind that we're not in 12th century Feudal France, trying to find the Child Who Will Lead Us in our next Crusade against the Moors. This relationship is deeply sick, but it is only considered newsworthy because of the implication of Palace Intrigue that has nothing to do with how businesses work.

    Americans would be so much happier if they had a Royal Family to gawk over, scandals and all.

      That's why we gawk over the same royal family we celebrate our successful revolution against.

      Is/ought fallacy, and it also devalues the existence of people that either can't or choose not to reproduce.

          I still disagree there. In the wilderness, among wildlife, homosexuality is not only surprisingly common for many species, but the gay members of those species often serve supportive roles that help the entire herd even if they don't indulge the oh so mandatory biological imperative to pass on their own specific genes.

          Even if there was some great cosmic force bellowing "THE ONLY PURPOSE IN LIFE IS REPRODUCTION," those that reproduce and those that don't still live and die the same way, same origins and same endings, whether or not that great cosmic force was heeded and obeyed. Because there's no clear and obvious scorekeeper (pun intended) to decree which mortal creatures fulfilled their supposed only purpose, I say again that is is not the same thing as ought, even at a technical level.
