Are people just creating “Elon can’t be a good father” in their minds as some sort of coping mechanism? As in he can’t be extremely successful and accomplish the things he has AND be a good father?


Do you have children?

Just keep on uncovering the political corruption in the federal government.

And you care, why? Is he behind on his childcare payments like you probably are?

The right is currently becoming a "power at all costs" movement.
I think they've been that way since Wallace challenged their political power in '72 and Nixon got their arse in a crack in '74. The Bushes haven't/didn't tow the line on that 100% and that's a big part of the hardliners' issue with them.

In re Musk as a dad - it's his business and there's no doubt he can afford it, but I have to imagine that he has serious difficulty providing his children with the ideal kind/quantity of fatherly time and mentoring they need. Maybe they have a gramps or uncle figure that can, I don't know.

When I taught high school at a prep academy I could spot the kids whose dads were docs & lawyers simply by how they acted: pretty much like they were being raised by a single mom. Point is, it makes a difference when dad's not a constant physical and emotional presence in the home.

Bingo. Nobody is moored to any principles or values anymore. Both sides of the isle.

In this very thread, we have “conservatives” making the same flawed, materialism/moral relativism-based arguments that leftists have been making for decades…“Oh it’s fine because he’s MAGA and he’s got billions to take care of all his kids and his four baby mamas”…are you kidding me?

So do we not care about absentee fathers? Or just sometimes? I’m losing track

If you take his word about how much he works then it becomes impossible to be a model father to 13 children in any sort of traditional definition.

I like Elon, but I don't understand the need for him to be perfect. Everyone is flawed not accepting that is a bit cultish.

yes. Because he used to be woke and when those around him destroyed his son he made it his mission in life to fix the world.

Sad about his kid but Elon used that to change the course of the world.

The ultimate sacrifice. He could have kept his mouth shut and sold eleventy billion more electric cars and be a trillionaire by now but he risked everything including his life to do what's right.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that is one of the saddest, most delusional things I’ve ever seen posted on this board

It's tribalism. That's how you get to the point of saying you support the military and servicemen, then lay off thousands of VA employees and call it patriotic.

Both sides are so obviously completely full of shite. Watching folks champion either side's actions without question, using whataboutism or "they're the 'other'" to justify themselves and their behavior, makes me really question how we're going to make it as a nation. We're approaching serious, North Korea/Iran-style frickery here.

This is the part that I laugh at the most.

Yeah, like he can't have a ton of kids and still support them.

Yet these same people shitting on Elon will defend a welfare queen with 10 kids by 10 different daddies as a hero.

I don't care if Elon has 20 kids.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Left adoring Zelinski while the Right adores Putin, when in reality, the world would be a better place if both were hung from a tree for their crimes against innocent civilians.

Oh, okay. So the family should be sacrificed at the altar of....defunding the government i guess? Especially, fathers, we don't need them. So what's the right about then? Materialistic nihilism? I don't get it.


Sacrificed? That’s a bit dramatic. You don’t think his kids are well taken care of? Nobody here even knows how much time he spends with them, but it won’t be like any normal fatherly relationship.

Elon just isn’t doing DOGE. He’s saving free speech, advancing humanity, curing blindness and other neurological ailments and a million other things.

They white flagged the moral high ground years ago.

Our Secretary of defense had two kids while married to different women.
