Abusive father, desperately seeking validation from emotional abuse as a child, a need for power and control, rejection by his oldest child. If you’ve got emotional maturity and health issues, no amount of money will fix that. You have to want to fix it yourself, seek therapy, and want to change. He doesn’t want to change, he wants the world to change to accommodate him. It won’t be forever.

Cautionary tale how not to manage one’s human condition and experience.

His childish sexual humor is far from the most significant thing that makes me question his moral compass.

Why are you so obsessed with using Xitter? He bought it, and literally gives a shit.

If you can't resist and absolutely have to... use something like https://xcancel.com for a browser based alternative view. And show the teens how to use that, too. It's less algorithmic, and gives a threaded view.

Don't forget to click on the cogwheel in the upper right for settings like theme, autoplay/stop, redirections to other services, and so on. You actually might like some of them.

He's a human capable of reproduction and judging by the number of children he has had ample opportunities to do so. Most humans of reproductive age like sex, and those who have a lot of it tend to like it more. It's always been the funniest and most relatable topic for any group of adults to joke about.

With that said, if you think Elon Musk is a role model that guides your conscience, the north of your moral compass... Dude, he's just an obscenely rich guy. And I guarantee you almost every teen and even younger children in the world already knows what those words mean or is capable of finding out in short order. Even prepubescent children make jokes about genitalia and sex and anything else that adults take seriously. If you want to know all the most offensive and/or raunchiest jokes, just ask a late elementary or middle schooler.

Some wealthy people have their sexual pleasures, however deranged, in private, arranged by Jeffrey Epstein and the like. Other wealthy people choose to shove their private parts in your face.

And since ANYONE can do it, well, that raises the ante, and the latter have to be very outlandish with their "It's all about me" statements and stunts.

The language you quote is pretty gross.

so i guess streaming cooked spaghetti pr0n on starlink shouldnt be an issue?

Dude never matured past the age of 13. It’s evident in almost everything he does.

Elon is a jobs creator and the richest man in the world, so he's someone to look up to and emulate. He shouldn't act like an incel on a Mtn Dew bender.

> Elon is a jobs creator and the richest man in the world, so he's someone to look up to and emulate.

I don't agree that being a "jobs creator" or a very wealthy person means anything about whether or not people should look up to or emulate them. It only means they're wealthy, not admirable.

Find better role models.

Pick one that's dead a long time and you won't have to worry so much about their present / future actions.

So there are still a few Musk stans lurking around HN. At least ones who aren't afraid to occasionally show themselves ...

> In commerce and engineering, yes.

Even then, it's more than a bit iffy ...

as much as i despise Elon i really hate foisting this responsibility of being a model for kids on him and other celebrities/"celebrities"

Unfortunately that's the reality. Kids see what they see.

Nothrowaways, you're the SOB who posted this on HN! Quit!

Care to explain

Son. Of. Bitch.
