@eigenrobot Do the one in four US kids’ fathers, who do not live with them, also draw this ire from you? I could see an argument that, while having a live-in father is clearly ideal, having great genetics and a great education means these kids will have a better chance than the average kid.

@eigenrobot considering the context of most normal households - adults in the real world can bring problems home (drinking, gambling, delinquent friends, fights or segregation within family). While Elon's lifestyle isn't widely applicable - he isn't handling it the worst way possible.

@eigenrobot Elites spawning children they won't be legally father to is a time-tested strategy, but perhaps what you're reacting against is that Musk's approach is more undifferentiated harem than primary household with wife / secondary household with mistress

@eigenrobot It is, friend. It truly is. A good woman does not choose a man who will abandon his role as a father. A good man does not abandon his children. Both of these things are sins. And children are the ones who pay the price.
