    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.

    So this guy has time to be CEO of twitter, spacex, xai, starlink, tesla, boring company, head of DOGE and still has time to try to hook up with thousands of girls online? Something tells me CEOs are pretty useless if you can be running that many companies each week.

    Hi, I’m Leon! But you can call me the neo-nazi kid :D

    I’m a proud white guy from South Africa (14 y/o in spirit).

    I’m currently trying to fuck up the world and spread my genes hoping to be the new Hitler some day!

    Do you want to have my kid? Haha just kidding. Unless…

    Declining population, my ass. There were less than 4.5 billion people on the planet when I was born. That fash-hole is only worried that white people will represent a minority of the future population. Nothing more.

      Decline population is an actual thing…? Not defending this asshole or anything but your statement is seemingly based off of a lack of information.

      Birth rates in many developed countries are incredibly low well below maintenance levels. Meaning that aside from immigration the population in most developed countries is actually going down quite rapidly.

      Which given the way our societies and financial systems are structured generally means some form of disaster for those countries if such decline occurs.

      There’s even a pretty good recent video talking about what this looks like in South Korea

      Blue indicates below replacement levels:

        Still one billion in 1804
        two billion in 1927
        three billion in 1960
        four billion in 1974
        five billion in 1987
        six billion in 1999
        seven billion in 2011
        eight billion in 2022

        Already too many for my taste.

          So, don’t bother you with the downside of what’s actually going to happen? What’s in the middle of happening? You’re just going to do a little cherry-picking, then tell us don’t bother you with facts?

          You can already see it in real time by looking at the demographics in South Korea and Japan. The only reason the numbers are offset is that a few countries are still net positive enough to offset them.

          Our great-grandkids are in for one hell of a ride. If we let it drop enough, they’ll be in forced breeding situations.

                  The only reason to believe it would be better with less people is delusional fantasy.

                  The problem isn’t population, it’s policy.

                  My outlook is based on studies, and this crap is studied a lot. and also on readily observable evidence.

                  It’s dire, and it’s not based on my opinion.

          The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.

          Coercion is rape.

            Someone making money directly through Nazi Twitter gets no sympathy from me when its fuhrer turns his ire against them.

            Is there something stopping her from having a job like a normal person instead of making money on Twitter? She doesn’t have kids, she can do whatever else she wants. At some point, you have to admit that staying where you are is a choice you’re making.

            From the WSJ article this article is referencing:

            Fong didn’t move forward with Musk because she pictured having children in a more traditional nuclear family, but confided to a few friends about the approach—including St. Clair, whom she knew as another conservative social-media figure—and how she worried that turning him down could hurt her earnings.

            Once Musk learned that Fong disclosed the request to others, he chided her for not using discretion, according to the people, and unfollowed her. That contributed to a fall in her engagement, and her earnings declined.

            Taking money/resources away from people who don’t follow along is what Elon does. She knew that beforehand and made the choice not to have a kid with him with that knowledge in mind. Elon tried to coerce her and she dealt with the consequences of refusing.

    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.

        These comments are just painful.

        You’re sitting there eating left overs in your studio apartment wondering how you’ll make your next car payment and you’re seriously going to pretend you have the morals to deny 1x dinner with musk for $20k a month for the rest of your life?

        Absolute bullshit.

          I gave up my top tech career for about that amount, I’m privileged enough to do so. So absolutely yes. Check my post history where I burned bridges with xAI lol.

          This lady is probably being lambasted through the media as a whore, death threats, legal risk, etc. So yes just to meet with the guy and put my life at risk I would abso-fucking-lutely need a shit ton of cash. Musk is one of the most dangerous people alive.
