"Musk refers to his offspring as a “legion,” a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire.

During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.” i-cant

While Musk was in Pennsylvania canvassing for Trump before the election, Musk sent a series of texts about the urgency of winning the state to St. Clair. “In all of history, there has never been a competitive army composed of women. Not even once,” he wrote. “Men are made for war. Real men, anyway.” He followed up with: “I am in full war mode. Going to the front lines today. Must win PA.” i-cant

While she was pregnant, Musk had urged her to deliver the baby via caesarean section and told her he didn’t want the child to be circumcised. (Musk has posted on X that vaginal births limit brain size and that C-sections allow for larger brains.) St. Clair is Jewish and circumcisions are an important ritual in the religion, and she decided against a C-section. He told her she should have 10 babies, and they debated the child’s middle name. sadness-abysmal

Musk has said he is concerned about what he called Third World countries having higher birthrates than the U.S. and Europe, a person familiar with the conversation said.” Yeah no fucking shit i-cant

    Yeah because of evolutionary pressures, humans developed brains bigger than our birth canals, so a newborn’s brain continues to develop after birth. Giving birth via C-section instead of vaginally isn’t going to change that lol. Self-proclaimed smartest man alive right here.

    how does one even respond to this. “I can’t believe I let you busy inside me.” ?

    Calling this “managament tactics” is really funny, this is just Elon getting horny and lonely and texting his baby mommas like a 14yo 4chan neo-Nazi, and then ignoring them the rest of the time (especially if there is responsibility involved - like a medical emergency).

    Between this and Techno Mechanicus I think it’s clear that he aspires to the role of Emperor. He yearns for the ketamine throne

    Vegeta’s whole redemption would have been a lot faster by just playing Elon Musk clips and then informing him “THIS is what you sound like!”

    Perhaps even Raditz could have been saved by this tactic.

    A legion? Seriously? I’d laugh at the larp if they weren’t deadset on making it reality.

      Controversial take: Vegeta never redeemed himself. He remained malicious until the manga ended, he was just incidentally on the side of defending earth for selfish reasons.

        On a serious note redemption arcs in anime and comics are a joke. Mass murderers just walking free. “Paying their dues”. It makes sense when facing a more powerful enemy but it doesn’t end there i-cant.

        He’s got a more explicit redemption storyline in the Moro Arc of the Super manga where he acknowledged his hand in the genocide of the Namekians and is trying to make up for it by defending them from a new threat. But yeah I don’t think you can really be redeemed from multi-planet genocide.

          Redemption at the very least involves acknowledgement of wrong and an effort to change, and vegeta did neither within the lifetime of the original manga.

            Oh yeah for sure in the original manga he did nothing even close to redemption. He was an asshole pretty much until the very end of the manga until he admits that Kakarot is #1. But that’s just the very beginning of changing.

    I never understood why with his whole eugenics obsession he’s not seeking out female scientist or athletes.

      Because athletes and scientists are more likely to be financially secure and less likely to put up with his bullshit.

        I don’t think that women athletes in general make more than film actors, executives or pop stars. I also think you underestimate the background level of brainworms among scientists, and the respect Elon sadly commanded until quite recently.
