You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.

I've never seen him with any of his kids before.

And if you think about it, he's definitely a heartless bastard to do this.

And now I'm wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I've seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.

Imagine being this kid and growing up and realizing one day the only reason dad ever suddenly started giving a shit about you was because he was using you as a meat shield because some guy named Luigi killed another rich guy. I'd be devastated

The chance of that kid not becoming an entitled piece of shit is really low, but I hope he can beat the odds.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, his daughter already did.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Yes, definitely! Dunno about any of the other 10.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The man has 12 children. Why have i never seen any photos of him with his kids until now? Sus. Very sus.

Using innocents, especially the wounded and children, as shields are a staple of terrorists everywhere. There's a reason why Hamas was posting up in hospitals and schools constantly like it mattered much to Israel in the end.

All it takes for Elon is someone with better aim though. Aim small miss small.

Or someone who is happy to take out the king and the heir in one go.

All fun and games until they start taking shits.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I don't even wanna know what that guy smells like.

Ohhhh. So that's why he's on the shoulders. Blocking that headshot through the window.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Those windows can take sustained .50cal fire. That kid would only count as concealment against anything deployed effectively against those windows.

In The Dead Zone Stephen King predicted society would turn on a politician who used a child to shield themselves from an assassin.

I no longer think that is true, at least for members or associates of one party.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Well, yes, obviously, he probably never even saw the kid before that. I dare some ballsy journalist to ask him, what's the kids name.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

It would be ridiculously easy to frame that as just making small talk too.

"And who's this little guy?"

"Y'know, Elon, I've only ever actually seen his name written down; if you don't mind me asking, how do you pronounce it?"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

He would know the kids name because it's the same as any other musk endeavour. He's not very creative.

Ah, so that's why he is so insistent on having so many children.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if he's already working on the next one for when this one ages-out.

So he is literally Hamas! Where is the world's most moral army when you need them! Come on IDF, drop a few hundred 2000 lb bombs!

By the way, what's this one barcode, "X4t-2-y34rs-4g0"?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s how kids become Batman

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Batman was kinda a piece of shit, only really hurt /killed the henchmen. Never stopped the parade of evil villains who just turnstiled thru the jail/asylums.
