Bad title.

Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

Elon Musk has unacceptable relationships with women at SpaceX, WSJ reports - The Verge

ftfy Verge

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No, in regards to Elon, he has always been a weirdo with women, starting with his first wife according to this essay published in 2010.

I really urge people to read it if you haven't already, there are some great tidbits in there like him saying "I'm the alpha" as they were having their first dance at their wedding (hilarious stuff).

None of the claims in the Verge article are surprising if you ever read Justine Musk's essay.

I.E. Look at Vince McMahon/WWE.

[-] Geek_King@lemmy.world 105 points 7 months ago

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

Elon is such a weirdo.

It got worse.

As it turns out, Elon Musk had a bunch of farms + horses from all the land he bought in the 2022-era. Elon Musk was actively trying to get rid of horses on his new property.


Its not that Elon Musk was going to "buy her a horse". He had tons of spare horses and was looking to dump them onto someone else.

[-] Stamau123@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Ha, not even buying her a horse. Like giving a mill puppy away for free

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Just start GlueX and get rid of them.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

JLAB has deer, not horses ... anymore.

“Gimme a blowie and you can just have one of my horses”

Fuckin yikes

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Should've just killed them all at Neuralink. That's what they specialize in

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 48 points 7 months ago

Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 18 points 7 months ago

he has to pay for it. no one is touching that for free

Okay, so, how does this work? The horse bit, I mean. Does she want a horse, or was this just a gesture where the brain was off and the penis is at the wheel? Even if she wants a horse, they are kinda high maintenance. Does the horse deal come with a stable, and adjacent home? What about food and care for the duration of the horse's life? Someone to tend to the horse while she is working? What about the taxes on the land that this sits on? Does she get the land too? Is the land going to be in a geographical area that she wants? Good access to nearby towns, power, water, sewage, municipal trash services? Good school district? Who is paying for the utilities for this land/home? Good access to emergency services? Low crime, pollution, risk of natural disasters? I could go on.

I mean there's a lot involved when you're being asked for a handy. Gotta make sure you get all the details!

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.

[-] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago

She had a horse tattoo on her wrist. The End.

[-] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 8 points 7 months ago

No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

That's a funny way to spell commits sexual harassment against.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 42 points 7 months ago

Why cross these boundaries when you can just fill a yacht with porn stars and supermodels voluntarily and not violate any HR policies?

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 44 points 7 months ago

He's got a weird eugenics thing going on. I guarantee you he unironically talks about "breeding engineers" and shit.

[-] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

A wealthy man from Soth Africa has weird views on eugenics? I'm shocked!

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 31 points 7 months ago

Compulsion to exert power over people near you

Elon Musk has unusual relationships to everyone and everything.

[-] filister@lemmy.world 39 points 7 months ago

Now I understand why Trump wants him for his vice president.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago

I am so looking forward to asking Elon for his long-form birth certificate

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

They've registered the "daughterXchange.tru" domain.

[-] Catoblepas 4 points 7 months ago

So he’s ineligible to run for president as he’s not a natural born citizen, but this made me wonder, are there any laws on who can be VP? What if they’re further down the line of succession, like Speaker of the House or president pro tem. of the Senate? What happens if, through the line of succession, someone who is ineligible to run still becomes president?

[-] bluGill@kbin.run 6 points 7 months ago

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

You can argue that it doesn't say anything about vice president, but then he can't be part of the line of succession so what is the point. Though I wonder if maybe saying he can't be vice president on those grounds means speaker of the house also must be natural born... The constitution is short and so you can come up with weird situations like this all over.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Theoretically they could be VP. I imagine if their President left office for some reason, either they'd just be acting President, not actual President, or the line of succession would skip them.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I think it's like the crown. It goes to the Speaker of the House if the VP can't hold it.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 33 points 7 months ago

I was feeling bad for his ex right up until this gem:

”Then he took me to a bookstore and handed me his credit card. "Buy as many books as you want," he said. No man could have said anything sweeter.”

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago

I feel like a SpaceX engineer probably doesn't need a sugar daddy to buy a lot of books.

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Doesn't a SpaceX engineer technically already have a sugar daddy?

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 11 points 7 months ago

Let's go to our local Library

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 19 points 7 months ago

hands her a library card Check out as many books as you'd like.

[-] DarkGamer@fedia.io 31 points 7 months ago

Because he's a billionaire he gets away with doing things that would destroy a normal person over and over again, I don't like the tiered consequences that our society exhibits.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Elon Musk has unusual relationships. Full stop.

[-] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 13 points 7 months ago

He looks like Kathy Bates now, but Kathy Bates isn’t a creep.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 7 months ago

This is probably a good portion of return to office mandates too, this and wage theft from having less stocks elegiable to vest due to people quiting
