    Can’t tell if these are joke names or real. Since there is that X-AE whatever name, I assume they are real …

    I chuckle every time I am reminded that he named one of his kids Sideræl. In norwegian that would be a slang for Side-junk or side-slop.

    Side = side
    Ræl = “junk,” “trash,” “rubbish,” or “worthless stuff.” It is an informal, somewhat dismissive term used to describe things that are of low quality, broken, or generally useless.

      I think it was supposed to be Sidereal, which refers to astronomical measurements based on stars rather than the sun. But he couldn’t even spell it right.

        Elon can consider himself proper American now that he thinks Æ can be used as substitute for A, E, or a combination of the two. Same as you sometimes see shitheads use Ø instead of O.

        To those of us who use those letters daily, it’s just jarring, as it’s a completely different letter with a different sound. It would be like writing Karspleesh and expect the spelling to carry the same pronunciation.

    The mistake that everyone keeps making is assuming that when they say “traditional family” they mean the “husband, wife, and 2.5 kids” nuclear family. That’s not what they want. They are looking at an older tradition. They want slaves and concubines back.

      They want slaves and concubines back.

      IE an actual traditional family, as very well defined in the Old Testament / Tanakh.

      When you get to the New Testament, you end up with the uberconservative push for making divorce illegal citing Jesus himself.

      Matthew 19:3-9

      3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one 's wife for any cause?”

      4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

      5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

      6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

      7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?”

      8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

      9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

      Notice how the presumption here is that only a man can divorce his wife, not the other way around.

      The rule of Moses as understood by the Pharisee is that a man can serve a woman divorce papers, and that’s that.

      What they can all agree on is women are second class citizens and should be subordinate to men.

      Paul is quite famous for not permitting women to speak:

      1 Corinthians 14:34

      the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

        9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.

        After my mom divorced my dad, we moved in with her parents because we had no money. The condition was that we had to start going to their extreme, King James Bible is the literal word of god, church. They preached this lesson a lot and it really messed my mom up. Luckily around the time I was 12, and already an atheist, we stopped going.

    I don’t know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

      Funny thing is I think a lot of these babies were by surrogacy and in vitro fertilization, I don’t think there was actually a lot of sex going on with any of these women.

      That’s what I read, I could be wrong

        It’s probably why he has lots of kids to compensate for something. Probably to signal that he has sex when he really hasn’t. Ketamine abuse can cause erectile dysfunction and I bet his sperm is immotile

      I know why they did it, because it was the only way to ensure that the tsar dynasty wasn’t reinstalled… But killing innocent kids will never sit right with me.

        Its not like with Trump where his kids are actually problems themselves. I suspect that some of the younger ones will probably want to disown him too, especially the ones that he’s called stupid names.

    But for a billionaire who had all his children artificially, he totally could have paid way hotter women to act like his wife and pretend that it is not about the money.

      I’d think for a man that could buy almost anything, the most valuable things are what you can’t get with money.

      But that assumes there’s any humanity left in that asshole
