Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for the politically and culturally misunderstood
00:00:23.700
lady or gent, could be either. We are your hosts. Non-binary. I'm Nat. And I'm Kat. And today
00:00:31.100
we're talking about Elon Musk. Who? Elon Musk. Well, if you don't know who that is, we're going to tell
00:00:39.060
you. Have you never heard of Elon Musk? Well, perfect, because you are in for a treat. We're
00:00:44.000
going to tell you who he is. And before you close the browser, we have some interesting things we
00:00:49.200
want to talk about. We do. We're going to do a little bio. Why is he important? We're going to
00:00:53.020
talk about his multiple children. Yes. Twitter. Can we trust him? Is he a conservative now?
00:00:59.000
Is he a conservative now? Hard to say, guys, but guess what? We're going to dumb debunk. We're
00:01:03.920
going to dive in. We're going to dive in. So where should we begin? Well, he was born. He
00:01:10.100
was born in 1971 in South Africa. South Africa. We're doing like a Southern accent. I was born
00:01:17.960
in South Africa. So that means he is the richest man in the world. And he's also an African.
00:01:24.060
Yeah. Wow, guys. Wow. Well, America's come so far. I don't think he counts, though. Somehow.
00:01:27.980
Probably not. He, his mother was Canadian. His father, South African. We'll talk about his
00:01:33.240
dad a little more later in the show. Interesting guy. Interesting stuff. Interesting guy. He has
00:01:37.260
some siblings. Not super important. I mean, there's a lot here. We don't have to go. Yeah.
00:01:42.960
I mean, he has a life. Let's skip to when he was an adult. Yeah. But hold on. I would
00:01:47.180
like to point out that he was bullied super badly in school so badly that he was pushed
00:01:51.100
down a flight of stairs and ended up in the hospital. And that's sad. And I'd like all
00:01:54.920
those bullies to suck it. Yeah. Like, who's laughing now, bullies? Not you guys. Not you
00:02:00.420
losers. Because he is rich as hell. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, so he actually attended Queen's University
00:02:06.680
in Kingston, Ontario, where he met his first wife. And then he transferred to UPenn, where
00:02:10.600
he received his bachelor degree of physics and economics in 1997. He enrolled in graduate
00:02:15.260
school at Stanford in California, but he left after only two days. Because, you know, he's
00:02:20.980
so smart. He was like, I'm done with school. Yeah. Let's go make some money, honey.
00:02:24.740
Yeah. So it's funny because they say that he enrolled in physics and then dropped out because
00:02:28.200
he wanted, he thought the internet was the future, which, yeah. But then, then it's like,
00:02:33.020
well, I'm actually going to build rockets. So that's kind of physics, my boy.
00:02:37.120
Which he's done. Yeah. Which he did. Which he's done very successfully. Yeah. What else
00:02:44.040
do we have here? Oh, in 2004, he founded, what is, he became one of the major funders
00:02:49.420
of Tesla Motors and which was later renamed Tesla. Well, just before 2004, he got married
00:02:54.040
for the first time. Yes. That is important. Yeah. In 2002. And in 2004, him and his wife,
00:03:01.020
Justine, had their first baby who sadly died of sudden infant death syndrome. Yeah. Super
00:03:07.640
sad. But then, yeah, in 2004 as well, he became the major funder of Tesla. Then he had a bunch
00:03:14.760
of kids. Then he just started having kids with like everyone. Yeah. So in 2004, him and Justine
00:03:21.700
welcomed twins conceived through IVF. You're going to hear that a lot because our boy Elon Musk
00:03:27.720
loves him some in vitro fertilization. So pray for his sperm. Yeah. We don't know what's
00:03:32.980
going on. We don't know though. Okay. And then in 2006, he welcomed triplets through IVF. Uh-oh.
00:03:40.220
So those, that five was with Justine Musk, the only woman to take the Musk name. Yes.
00:03:48.120
Lucky, lucky lady. And then in 2008, they actually divorced. Oh, I spoke too soon. Okay.
00:03:53.600
Then he started dating Singer Grimes in May of 2018. He actually got married. Oh yeah.
00:03:58.860
In between. But they didn't have any kids. And he also dated Amber Heard for a hot minute.
00:04:02.520
A hot minute. Yikes. Yikes. So we all make mistakes, Elon. It's okay. It's okay. Um,
00:04:06.540
so dated Grimes in 2018. She gave birth to their son X-A-X-C. We're not going to even try.
00:04:12.980
In May 2020. And even though they split in September of the following year, they quietly welcomed a baby
00:04:18.300
girl via surrogate in December. But he also had other kids in December. Yes. In the same year,
00:04:23.520
he had secret twins with one of his executives at, um, Neuralink. Neuralink.
00:04:29.220
So he's been busy. He's been very, very busy guy. Um, and then of course, yeah, so many kids.
00:04:36.760
Yeah. And then of course, we all know about his Twitter deal, which kind of actually was inspired by,
00:04:42.600
um, Babylon Bee getting booted off Twitter. I didn't know that. Yes. Interestingly enough,
00:04:48.320
um, for those of you who don't know Babylon Bee, Google it. They're hilarious. Yeah. They copied us.
00:04:53.760
So. JK, we copied them. We copied them. Yeah. Um, so should we talk about like his Twitter stuff now?
00:05:00.040
Yeah. So like jumping to the very end quickly, as of July 8th, we don't know what's happening.
00:05:05.920
No. Because Twitter is suing him. But how did we get there? You ask. You might not know.
00:05:12.440
Well, maybe you do. Maybe you're just watching for fun. Yeah. Maybe you're watching for the fashion.
00:05:16.720
I would. Yeah. So I think it's important to start with like why he decided he wanted to buy it. Of
00:05:22.120
course, we mentioned Babylon Bee, but he really wanted to ensure that it operated as a free speech
00:05:27.820
forum for all. And I just want to quote him if that's okay. And this is why he's, he's kind of
00:05:32.680
gained popularity with conservatives recently. We can talk more about that later as well. But
00:05:37.140
he said, free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy and Twitter is the digital town square
00:05:43.280
where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better
00:05:47.240
than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source
00:05:51.060
to increase trust, defeating the spam bots and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous
00:05:56.040
potential. I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.
00:06:00.660
So basically he was going to make everyone verified, which is really the real reason why I want him to
00:06:04.780
go through with his purchase. Cause I keep getting rejected. And of course the bots get the bots as
00:06:09.880
well. Yeah. So this is an interesting point. I like how he mentions it's a virtual town square
00:06:14.420
or sorry, is the digital town square. Um, that is something that people debate all the time
00:06:19.620
because like public or private. Exactly. So people who are pro censorship will say, well,
00:06:24.200
it's a private company. They can do whatever they want. And while that may be true for a Christian
00:06:28.540
bakery, Twitter, in my opinion, is the public square. Yeah. And it's like, basically like
00:06:35.000
you can, you, by not being on Twitter, if you're cut off of it, you have to go and make your own
00:06:40.220
social media network, Donald Trump. And that's, that's rough because you have to invite people
00:06:44.620
to it and they don't want to use it. Exactly. Twitter. Yeah. And it, it, Twitter has been established
00:06:48.680
for like decades now and that's what we're all used to. And honestly, it's just the best.
00:06:54.020
Like it's the best, unfortunately, despite its many flaws. Yes. Um, so maybe skipping forward
00:07:00.220
a little bit. I want to say one more thing. Yeah, of course. Because so while I do believe
00:07:03.300
that Twitter is the public square and should be free for all, the thing is it still will
00:07:08.140
be regulated by somebody. So if it's not regulated and I heard this argument on Joe Rogan or something
00:07:12.840
and cause I was like, what would be the argument for, by a free speech absolutist to saying that
00:07:19.320
it should be not a private company, um, controlling it. And the answer is that if it's not a private
00:07:24.760
company who's monitoring it, it's the government. Yeah. And that could be real bad, which is
00:07:29.620
even scarier. Yeah. So if Elon Musk is the guy in charge, great because he agrees with some of the
00:07:35.980
things we think, but what if he doesn't? Yeah. And he doesn't always. Well, and the thing is too,
00:07:41.000
like the, the direction Twitter is headed right now, like we're already facing so much censorship
00:07:46.480
and shadow banning and all that and stuff. And one of the reasons why Musk is kind of maybe backing
00:07:52.680
out of this deal is because, um, there are a lot of more bots than he thought. I think it was like
00:07:59.280
he, the, they wanted to claim that only 5% of their daily active users are bots. And it seems like
00:08:05.000
that's not the case. There are more. So even if the sale doesn't go through, he basically proved
00:08:09.440
that there are a crap ton of bots on social media, which is important because that means spam accounts
00:08:13.840
are manipulating the algorithm and influencing our cultural and political landscape. Like
00:08:18.120
it's so important. And so, and at the very least he's exposing these lies and that's so
00:08:23.760
important. It is so important. Like no matter what you think of the guy. Yeah. And he made
00:08:27.840
a funny meme and you know, maybe he's, so he thinks he's, his assertion is that he wanted
00:08:33.960
to know how many bots were on Twitter and Twitter was like, we're not disclosing that. So then
00:08:37.520
he's like, okay, I'm pulling out of the deal. And then they're like, we're going to sue
00:08:39.840
you. And he's like, oh, okay. So I guess in court we'll have to disclose how many bots
00:08:43.560
are on the site. Yeah. LOL. So it's kind of a win-win. Yeah. So maybe he would like,
00:08:46.960
he would like to have us believe that he had this planned all along. Like he's playing 4D
00:08:51.720
chess. Maybe he is. He's super smart, but maybe it's, it's just a coincidence. And it's
00:08:56.200
like, well, we'll find out. So yeah, as I said, as of July 8th, no one really knows what's
00:09:02.580
going on. Twitter said that they're going to take him to court to hold him to the deal. And
00:09:06.380
they're very confident that they can do so. And maybe he's like, fine, I still want to
00:09:09.880
buy it, but you have to show me, show me a pay pass. Yeah, exactly. Plus though, he even
00:09:15.240
vowed to pay a billion dollars if the sale doesn't go through. Like talk about having
00:09:19.360
F you money. Imagine you were just like, okay, I'm not going to buy it, but here's a billion
00:09:23.040
dollars. I can only afford a million dollars. Yeah. So I can't even imagine. Well, dinner's
00:09:28.580
on cat, everybody. But when this, when he originally announced that he was going to be purchasing
00:09:35.060
Twitter, conservatives were a little bit skeptical. Some jumped the gun and were like jumping
00:09:39.960
on the bandwagon and praising him. And I, I actually find that to be a little problematic
00:09:43.560
because any public, like I find that conservatives in general, whenever anyone kind of sort of
00:09:50.040
seems like they're somewhat conservative, we just jump on the bandwagon and it's like,
00:09:53.700
we should kind of think like pause and be like, okay, this might be a good thing, but we
00:09:57.620
don't need to like idolize this person. Yeah. You know? Well, that's one of the articles
00:10:01.340
here, right? Conservatives should be careful not to overpraise Elon Musk. Yes. Yeah. And
00:10:07.140
my first point here is humans should be careful not to overpraise anyone except for God. Yeah,
00:10:13.280
absolutely. Because that's what happens. We're all human and we're flawed. So exactly what
00:10:17.020
you said, there was a lot of conservatives that were like, oh, this is going to change
00:10:20.620
the world. Like this is a, he's a free speech, like savior or something like that. Maybe then
00:10:25.020
he's a savior. Well, and it's like, it's not like he's really a conservative. He's not a social
00:10:28.460
conservative by any means. And we'll kind of get into that maybe a little bit more. So it's like,
00:10:32.600
yes, I respect that he is a free speech advocate, but that doesn't mean I align with him on anything
00:10:37.940
else. And some of the other things that I don't align with him on are actually more important than
00:10:42.860
Twitter, you know? And like, like we don't need to align with his values or agree with him to
00:10:48.260
appreciate what he's doing. But as Christians and conservatives, like we should think critically
00:10:52.280
and just not get up in the, get caught up in the popular narrative because it sounds good,
00:10:57.200
you know, because we don't really know his heart or his motives at the end of the day.
00:11:00.960
Yeah. So, um, some of the things that he is very not conservative about, um, he like, this is a
00:11:08.160
quote from this article from national review. Musk has taken progressive positions on a whole host
00:11:12.300
of issues from immigration restrictions to climate change and abortion. Um, and also when Trump withdrew
00:11:17.280
the U S from the Paris climate accord, Musk resigned in protest from all of the Trump administration,
00:11:22.120
CEO advisory councils on manufacturing jobs and economic policy.
00:11:25.440
Yeah. So he's also donated thousands of dollars to the democratic party. And after the Supreme
00:11:31.140
court's decision to overturn, uh, Roe v Wade was leaked, they announced that they would cover
00:11:36.140
healthcare and travel costs for employees seeking out of state abortion. So, you know,
00:11:40.800
which is like kind of ironic. It's well, he's so pro like populate the earth. Yeah. He doesn't call
00:11:47.840
himself pro life, but he calls himself pro population pro rates. Yeah. But it's also funny because you and I
00:11:54.560
have to discuss this, um, it's a lot cheaper for a company to pay for your abortion than to send you
00:12:01.040
on mat leave because in the States, they don't have federal mat leave like we do here. So the company,
00:12:05.020
if they want to pay for it, it's private. Exactly. So if, if Elon Musk, who is in the eye of, um,
00:12:12.460
the public wants, doesn't want to get a ton of flack, he would probably be paying mat leave for his
00:12:19.640
company, his employees. And it's a lot cheaper to send someone on a bus ride or give them gas money
00:12:24.780
to go get an abortion than it is to pay for them for 18 months to raise their child. Yeah. So not
00:12:29.860
really all that, uh, kind and generous folks. Um, but on the other side of the coin, he's also called
00:12:36.400
COVID lockdowns fascist and he's written that gender pronouns suck. And I mean, that's actually
00:12:41.260
resulted in kind of the severing of a relationship between him and one of his daughters who is
00:12:45.860
transgender. And now she wants to change her last name, right? Yes. Um, because she doesn't want to
00:12:49.780
be associated with him. We blitzed about this before. And I'm once she runs out of money, she's
00:12:53.920
going to come crawling back to her daddy, but it's a tough one. Cause it's like, you want the name.
00:12:58.500
Yeah. You definitely, you definitely want the name. Yeah. You got the genes. Yeah. Now you want the name
00:13:03.460
and the money. I want the name. I want the name too. I want that inheritance. He's also,
00:13:07.420
uh, called Joe Biden, sleepy Joe Biden and space Karen, Elizabeth Warren. Um, so that's, you know,
00:13:16.800
though, that's very like memeable right wing culture. Yeah. And he did come out as a, not like
00:13:22.200
the thing is, is he can vote Republican. It's not for us to say, is he really a Republican? Like
00:13:27.120
it's he's voting Republican. So none of us are like, I'm not a conservative. I'm a
00:13:33.420
I'm a Canadian me. Like I vote conservative. It doesn't make me. Yeah. Like whoever aligns
00:13:38.740
with your values at the time. Exactly. Exactly. I'm, and I mean, I've always only ever voted
00:13:44.100
conservative, but I reserve the right to keep my mind open. And I really appreciate that. He's not
00:13:48.940
just like hardcore right wing because that would be boring. Yeah. We don't need, I think he was a
00:13:54.300
registered independent for the most part. Probably. Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, I think you're right. I think
00:13:58.740
like there's a lot of nuance to politics and we shouldn't be so closed minded and have tunnel
00:14:03.520
vision when it comes to voting. Obviously, when it pertains to the liberal party and the democratic
00:14:07.440
party as Christians, it's a little tougher to justify voting for them just because they,
00:14:12.800
for many reasons, but they, they don't really. They hate life in itself. They hate, they don't value
00:14:17.300
life. They hate God. Yeah. Et cetera, et cetera. Um, but yeah. So nice people. Yeah. Some of them
00:14:24.200
are great. Um, but he did indicate in June his support for Florida governor, Ron DeSantis,
00:14:28.640
um, to, if he does run for president in 2024. Who's extremely pro-life. Yeah. Very socially
00:14:34.920
conservative. Yeah. Yes, exactly. Which is interesting. Yeah. Um, and Coulter had a quote
00:14:39.540
about Elon Musk and she says, he's mostly about promoting himself. Yeah. And that's like, yeah.
00:14:44.240
Which is, I guess, fair. I mean, you're, he's built his whole career off himself. Yeah. And nor
00:14:50.300
should he be a banner boy for either party. No, no, he should not. So yeah. For conservatives
00:14:55.540
to be like, Oh, he's our, he's our man. It's like, you're going to get disappointed the next
00:15:00.040
time one of like Roe v. Wade is overturned or re overturned or whatever, like something
00:15:04.660
happened socially, you're going to be disappointed and you're gonna be like, Oh, I hate him. He's
00:15:08.940
like, he's a human being. He has a nuanced opinion and we might disagree with half of them.
00:15:14.360
Yeah. Like you can't put anyone in a box. Um, but I mean, he is predicting a red wave in
00:15:19.000
the next election. So it's interesting. It's interesting that we've, we're kind of seeing
00:15:23.120
his growth, so to speak. And who knows, maybe one day he will become a true social conservative.
00:15:27.800
Yeah. Maybe more importantly, maybe he becomes a Christian. I don't know. Who knows? You never
00:15:32.600
know. It seems like someone with nine children isn't pro abortion. Yeah. Feels that way.
00:15:37.840
Maybe not. But again, it's like, that's his choice. Like I used to say, and I've said this
00:15:41.820
on the show, I used to call myself pro choice, but like my choice would be life. Right. I've
00:15:47.340
like become more pro life over the course of the year, but just by researching things,
00:15:52.580
especially now, but like he can be pro choice and still be very pro life. Like if that makes
00:16:00.000
any sense, like pro life for his, for his own choices. Maybe he's pro choice for other
00:16:04.560
people, which is still not pro life. Yeah, absolutely. And he's not a Christian or a conservative,
00:16:11.260
like a social conservative. So we can't really hold him to that standard. Yeah, exactly.
00:16:14.720
Absolutely. So you're, yeah, you're absolutely right. Of course I am. Yeah. So maybe we should
00:16:18.540
talk about birth rates now that we're talking about abortion. Yeah. So apparently Elon Musk
00:16:24.600
is obsessed with population collapse. So just to quote him, he says, we should be much more
00:16:31.800
worried about population collapse. If there aren't enough people on earth, then there definitely
00:16:35.260
won't be enough for Mars. And apparently the US birth rate has been below minimum sustainable
00:16:40.720
levels for 50 years. Interesting. He is actually right. Scientific. Yeah. So he is right. He's
00:16:50.320
talking about the USA birth rate. Yeah. And then in the article, they're like, oh, the global birth
00:16:55.620
rate, this, and it's like, well, okay, right there. That's, and I think it's a really touchy subject
00:17:00.280
because to say that like third world countries, their birth rates are much higher than ours. So
00:17:08.420
you can say, no, the global population is increasing. It's, it's never been higher. Sure. But do we need
00:17:15.680
more and more poverty on the planet? That's the question. Like Elon Musk is saying, let's make America,
00:17:22.360
let's make America specifically have more people. And I think the argument for that might be, we can
00:17:29.680
help third world countries more if we have better doctors and scientists and engineers in America.
00:17:35.300
And it's not like it's our job to be the saviors of the world. But when you're in a third world country
00:17:40.280
and you're starving to death and you don't have the infrastructure and the money to support your
00:17:44.840
family, you, you might, you might be grateful for America's aid when they're like, oh, we're going to
00:17:50.620
send you this. We're going to help you that we're going to help you build clean water wells. Like a
00:17:53.500
lot of American charities go to Africa, African countries, and they build wells and they teach
00:17:58.900
them how to build more. Right. And then they're like, now you have water. Now you have clean water.
00:18:02.560
It's like, we're not better than you. We're just a little bit further down the development
00:18:06.320
like line. And we can help you get to where we are so that nobody's impoverished. Yeah. Like you're
00:18:12.000
trying to bless other people with the gifts you've been giving, like being born in the USA is a huge
00:18:16.220
blessing. And if you've been successful and you're living the American dream, why wouldn't you want to
00:18:20.300
help somebody else? Of course, I, I believe that helping should start at home in the, in your own
00:18:25.100
community. But of course we should branch out from there and help our fellow man in other countries.
00:18:31.120
American and first world countries having a very low birth rate and then third world countries who
00:18:35.820
don't have money having a high birth rate. That's long term. Yeah. Have you ever seen the movie
00:18:40.880
Idiocracy? No. It's funny. Okay. It's basically like, and it happens in America, but the premise is it's like
00:18:46.500
year 2030 or something, maybe further down the line and only stupid people like have reproduced and all
00:18:52.920
like smart educated people have decided that it's not the right time. So then the whole globe is just
00:18:57.660
like Homer Simpson's. Oh good. Yeah. So it's obviously just like about America. That is Elon Musk's biggest
00:19:03.100
fear. Yeah. You guys. Yeah. Um, so he's like educated people should be having children as well. Well, it's kind of
00:19:09.460
interesting too, because we talked about this in the last episode, but Bill Gates is pro depopulation
00:19:14.720
and he's another billionaire. And now we have the richest man in the world. He was like, no, we need
00:19:19.280
to populate the earth. And it's funny because, cause they're in North America. I've seen even
00:19:23.860
billboards encouraging people not to have kids because of the so-called climate crisis and stuff
00:19:28.180
like that. And he's all the time. Right. And he's actively like swimming upstream in this. And it's
00:19:33.260
kind of interesting, but I will say he is also, you know, creating a, like a strain of single
00:19:40.140
mothers. Like, it's like, cool, you're populating the earth, but you know, fatherlessness is also
00:19:45.000
a crisis in North America, which we've also talked about. Exactly. So it's like, it's a bit of a
00:19:49.500
double-edged sword. It kind of is. Cause like, okay, cool. Sure. These kids are going to inherit
00:19:53.500
great wealth, but they don't have their dad necessarily. And he can't possibly be a good father
00:19:59.440
to nine children. No one, it would be hard for anyone. Not only the richest, most busy
00:20:03.500
man on the planet. Right. Like I think he couldn't even maintain his relationship with
00:20:07.220
Grimes because he was, most of his work is in Texas and she's in LA. It's like, okay,
00:20:12.240
well maybe you guys shouldn't have had a bunch of kids when you were like, oh, but our lifestyles
00:20:17.180
don't really blend. It's like, are you 19? Exactly. Like it's just very, it's, it's kind of
00:20:22.980
icky, but it is kind of icky. Um, and I, maybe that's something he inherited from his father.
00:20:27.300
Maybe that's the trait. Woo! That's a doozy. Not all the genes are good guys. Yeah. Some
00:20:32.500
of them are from blue notes. Just kidding. Um, so, okay. The most obvious part of all this
00:20:40.740
is like news came out, I believe it was last week. Yeah. Um, and it might, we're filming
00:20:46.040
this a little early this week. So it was like two weeks ago. It might be two weeks ago by
00:20:49.080
now. Um, but Errol Musk, Elon's estranged father, um, admitted that in 2017,
00:20:57.000
or I guess he had, so in 2017 and then also three years ago, which I guess would have been
00:21:02.480
2019. Yeah. Um, he had, he's had two children now with his former stepdaughter. So you're
00:21:12.140
telling me, you know, Catherine, you know, that he had sex with this person's mommy and
00:21:18.460
then he had sex with them. Yeah. And he knew her since she was four years old. Okay. He says
00:21:25.960
that he barely raised her, that she was out of the house most of the time. Like he sounds
00:21:30.840
like such a jerk, honestly. Woo! He's clearly present in the lives of his children. Oh my
00:21:35.920
God. There's some quotes. Well, and apparently they're not together because she's quote 35
00:21:39.880
and it's like, okay, if she's, if she's 35, you're 76. He's 76. Maybe it's time to retire
00:21:44.520
your sperm. Yeah. Maybe. And apparently we'll get into another article. He's not ready necessarily.
00:21:48.640
No, he's not. He wants more children. But please, uh, read us a quote from this. So here are some
00:21:51.720
fun quotes from Errol Musk. Jana, his former stepdaughter came and spent a few days here
00:21:57.420
about six months ago and the kids were starting to get on my nerves. Then I missed them as soon
00:22:02.340
as they've gone. Isn't that just so typical? So basically it's not just such a man thing
00:22:08.560
to say. Yeah. That's just, well, and he's like this old man. Yeah. They were getting on your
00:22:13.100
nerves. Maybe you don't have them because I'm sure they can sense that you're irritated by
00:22:18.060
them. Yeah. That's really cute. And again, it goes back to my earlier point, like populate the
00:22:21.400
earth all you want, but you're just screwing up future generations by just having kids and
00:22:25.500
kind of abandoning them in a way. It's a weird like ego thing. Kind of. Like how many kids
00:22:29.760
have you had? I've had nine. I've had seven. Well, exactly. And he said that part of the
00:22:33.820
reason why he's passionate about this is because he, he created Elon Musk. So he wants to keep
00:22:38.640
creating more Elon Musk. But maybe Elon's a one-off guy. Like maybe he's, you know, like not
00:22:43.960
all your genes are good as I previously said. So maybe you shouldn't be passing them on willy
00:22:47.900
nilly. Yeah. Here's another one. Oh, good. This is a doozy. Okay. Errol said he hasn't
00:22:54.420
asked for a paternity test for his youngest daughter because, and now he quotes, she looks
00:23:00.580
just like my other daughters. Two of those daughters just so happen to be Jana's half
00:23:06.220
sisters. And no, they aren't pleased by this family development. What? Eh? I guess I get
00:23:12.840
it because he had sex with the mother. Maybe they had kids together. They must have. Yeah. They had
00:23:24.400
kids together. And then he had sex with not one of them, but like the, the mother of those
00:23:29.500
children's daughter from a previous marriage. So they're half sisters. So they're sisters. Yeah.
00:23:34.900
And then now his, his newest daughter looks just like their aunts. Well, that's just a
00:23:43.020
darn mess, isn't it? That is a mess. And I mean, to Elon's credit, he is mortified by this
00:23:51.380
announcement. Yeah. So we, so he's not completely crazy. Yeah. No. You know, cause when, cause,
00:23:56.020
but that's not something that they put in the headlines. They're like, Oh, Elon, Errol Musk,
00:23:59.620
Elon Musk's father just welcomed. They're trying to take him down with him. Yeah. Yeah. And he's
00:24:03.880
like, pause right there, please. I don't support that. Like he has his own issues perhaps, but
00:24:08.440
impregnating his stepdaughter is not one of them. Well, especially because one of the things he said
00:24:13.960
is the only thing we're on earth for is to reproduce. It's like, yeah. Okay. That's partially
00:24:18.840
why we're here. But like at 76, maybe. Yeah. Maybe you can retire. Yeah. You know, golf. New hobby,
00:24:26.200
you know, go to church. I don't know. Gardening. Yeah. Lawn bowling. Maybe. I'm excited to retire.
00:24:33.880
Or maybe, you know, instead of, you know, creating more children, just focus on raising
00:24:37.160
the ones you still have. You got a few young ones there. That's something else. I don't know.
00:24:42.040
Also, he, this is what my last quote from Errol Musk. Oh, good. This has been good.
00:24:45.960
It's been fun. I have about six people, women who claim that their child is my child now. He said,
00:24:52.180
calling them opportunists. However, he said that there was a period in Johannesburg in the eighties
00:24:55.960
that he was going out with different women every night. I had plenty of dates. So it's quite conceivable
00:25:01.120
that some of them couldn't come back and say, this is your child. Woo. He's a classy guy.
00:25:06.800
He's a classy guy. He is a classy guy. And I mean, it just speaks to the importance of
00:25:11.120
why we're supposed to have kids in the confines of marriage. You know, that's the example we should
00:25:16.220
set. We don't want to just create hundreds of kids who grew up without dads. And we know that the
00:25:19.980
nuclear family is the bedrock of a functioning society. And we know the importance of fathers at
00:25:24.140
home. So I think that's the biggest takeaway from both Elon and his father, because even though,
00:25:28.980
you know, Elon is doing many wonderful things, like your first priority as a human being is
00:25:33.980
being a dad. You'd hope. You'd hope. Yeah. Like they didn't ask to be born. And again,
00:25:39.680
we've talked about how they're going to inherit great wealth and stuff, but they're going to grow
00:25:44.680
up confused and a little screwed up potentially. And I think, I think we should care about that.
00:25:49.540
And he should be criticized for that. And we'll do it. And we will do it.
00:25:53.860
Because it's a chip. Yeah. Okay. Is that the shirt? I think that's the show. I think that's
00:25:58.680
the shirt. That was fun. Well, we did an Elon Musk deep dive. That was fun. That was fun.
00:26:04.560
Maybe he'll send us a check. He probably will not. Okay. Well, it's worth asking. But you can ask.
00:26:09.360
