Being self-centered to this degree is a pathology. Being that rich literally damages your mind.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

"I became rich, so everyone else can do it to. They're just too lazy."
Lady, people aren't poor because they go out to eat and go to the movies. 1 trip to the hospital costs more than an entire year of that shit.
I loathe the folks that are vastly financially successful and think that same path is possible for everyone. As if the opportunities you're born into and luck aren't very large factors... Also this bitch raised a monster.
So many people my age or slightly older have no clue how much things have changed for people entering adulthood in thst past 20 to 30 years.
We could go to university and pay for it by ourselves with a part time job and maybe max out a GSL at $2500/year for four years.
And that's not all. They didn't have all the bullshit they do today where you can't (easily) declare financial independence until 25.
Once I was financially independent I got Pell grants and lots more work study. I ended up not using the work study for my senior year because I was paid more for an internship and they asked me to keep working through the school year.
I graduated with a whopping $10k or so in loans and paid $108/mo for 10 years. My interest rate was quite high at 9%. My starting salary was out of school was about $28k (1986). That works out to about $80k today.
She's such an evil cunt lmao
If there’s something wrong with the bitch, there’s something wrong with the pup.
I wonder how she feels about her husband fathering multiple children with his stepdaughter.
”Wh— What are you doing, StepDad…?”

Why would I take life advice from such a shitty parent?
I wish she had gone on a show where the interviewer asked her that. “Given your failure to raise an even somewhat decent human being, why should anyone take your advice on parenthood?”
American culture dictates that the parent with the most downstream revenue in the family tree is the one with the secret to being awesome.
"you just need to marry someone that owns some emerald mines and skip some nights out"
Hire slave labor and make your coffee at home
This is such a "Let them eat cake" moment. Can't afford to live? Stop going to the movies
But have kids
Well obviously they took the advice about avocado toast and are still poor so they just need to budget better!
i wish their whole family leukaemia for Christmas
Wanna bet her restaurant bills are nothing below $50k and she thinks this is also what the rest of us spend when he go out to eat?
Also this lady is in no position to teach us about parenting. She raised a spoiled manchild.
She raised a psychopath.
She's a nazi and rasied a nazi. Look into how they made their money. Literally, got rich owning slaves in South Africa. Forced them to work in unsafe Ruby mines. Anything she says is to be ignored
The children yearn for the mines. I thought it was emeralds? Not that it matters.
Using MOVIES as an example is hilarious...ticket sales haven't come close to rebounding after COVID. Seems there are a lot of people who already took it out of their budget to make room for groceries!
Yeah strong Lucille Bluth vibes. “Here’s some money go see a star war.”

This over privileged cunt thinking most of us aren't already NOT doing that shit already just to survive.
Eat the rich.
These parasites are cartoon level super-villains.
Check out Musk's father and his relationship with his adoptive daughter/wife.
Elon's step mother-sister? Who was adopted as a young child? Who has had multiple children with Musk sr?
Please tell me the interviewer replied with “wtf are you talking about, you crazy woman??”.
Oh wait, no, American media companies are owned and controlled by people like her. They don’t want to upset their rich peers.
Peers? No they are near the same distance away from their owners than they are above the normal people. No way does that make the owners peers.

This is extreme let them eat cake behavior
It's also deeply clueless. The movies and the dinners, the nice cars and the comfortable homes, the very ability to afford raising kids without turning into a burned-out piece of shit are what give you enthusiastic compliance from your staff.
The Musks are extremely racist, in no small part because they have seen how ground down people became under centuries of colonial subjugation and decided "I guess Africans are just like that". Then they want to inflict the same abysmal standard of living on their American peers.
“I mean it’s one baby, Michael. What could it cost? 10$?”
She’s an incredible asshole.
Given how her kid turned out take her parenting advice with a handful of salt
"Let them eat cakes."
We have movies and dinner out because we've already lost travel and vacation and most of every of our fucking waking hours and this...
... who has never worked as we have, to live like we do... Has the audacity. to speak on our lives. Ha.ha.
I would LOVE to have kids one day. It is something my wife and I are looking forward to. We are just wanting to save up a few more moneys and it's a situation I realize we are fortunate to be in.
But we have waited so long and are waiting a little bit longer because of money because kids deserve experiences in life.
I'm sure it's incredibly easy for this lady to say "kids don't need nice things" while coming from a household that could afford everything this world has to offer.
Growing up I was lucky my dad worked extra hours so I could play sports. Up until 3 years ago (I am 29 now) I never was able to travel and never left my own state. Up until 1 and a half year ago I have never left the Country. All that to say there was a lot of anxiety and trauma I had to live with growing up. And I realize even still that some folks might consider me lucky.
In today's world, kids should never have to worry about where their food is coming from. What a detached worldview these assholes have if they're genuine.
Lol out to dinner... I didn't do that for at least 10 years after I got my first job. That's something wealthy people do 3-4 times a week, though.
"you should have children and have them live a terrible life of destitution and hopelessness. That way the human rights abuse, that the musk Family are famous for, will come as a blessed relief"
I don't, and I still can't afford children. So, I don't know what to tell you.

she wants Chinese factory ideology to infest the USA. those locked in factories where you have to work 12+ hours aday. thats her ideal America.
I feel like Americans are just spiteful enough to just start breaking shit. Like I know for a fact that when I was working at Amazon someone shit on the conveyor belt, my bet is they denied them going to the restroom.
We need the poors to fight our wars and work on our factory floors.
Can we start calling them weird again?
Toxic mommy coming to her toxic son’s defence.
You don’t have to own a yacht and can pay your employees what the are worth. But you don’t.
Jfc she looks actually like The Terrifier
I would tell her to go fuck herself but its probably grown over.
Some people just need to be chained to a boulder and thrown into the ocean...
