He really went off the deep end when Grimes dumped him. I'm not saying he didn't have issues before, but his compete public persona changed when their relationship ended. When his relationship with Amber Herd ended her did an interview with Rolling Stone where he was crying and talking about how life just isn't worth doing anything of you aren't in love. I think he really thought that with Grimes he found his true soulmate. My guess is that once she became a mother she realized that he isn't someone she wants raising her children and she broke his heart and he's gone full incel now.
One day she will be free of him and she's going to tell her story. I can't wait to hear it.
I don't know if it coincides with grimes, but his daughter disowning him and him blaming the woke school system for turning her against him is also where the anti work crusade started, which don't ya know, brings you down the far right rabbit hole into psycho land.
Edit: whatever his views were before this event, that was a defining moment where he had to make a real choice, and he made the wrong one.
He faced a lot of abandonment in a short time period and instead of self reflecting lashed out. And when an angry white man lashes out against other people for self preserving, there’s a chunk of the internet there to help guide him away from ever getting better
To add insult to injury (in his mind), Grimes dated a trans person after dumping him.
Remember those creepy, desperate Tweets from Grimes to Musk about seeing the kids or whatever? God. Imagine literally the richest person in the world is also your incel ex.
Nope!
Sounds awful though.
His villain origin story is because of a broken heart. A tale as old as time.
It's more likely that when she had his children, Elon felt like he had total control over her and could ramp up his abuse of her. This is a classic maneuver by abusive men. Marriage and moving in together also tend to cause them to lash out, but having a baby usually really does it for them because the woman is often physically weakened by it. This includes raping the woman after she gave birth and isn't healed.
Once the abuse escalates, the woman is able to realize he wasn't going to change and that he'd get worse. She is able to realize it's too much. Someone like Grimes with money and power can escape more easily once they realize this.
So yeah it's less to do with Grimes becoming a mother and realizing he wasn't good enough (implying his behavior has been steady/the same), and more like him trapping her and taking off his mask.
Men like Elon - narcissistic and obsessed with women, especially trans women - have a compulsion to control women like dolls.
I think he's so focused on "success" he's never grown as a person beyond, I'm Bestest because I can buy the biggest things...and just uses people.
The trust fund baby concubine of a billionaire isn't the hero of the story.
Who the fuck said it was about being a hero? You ain't gotta think she's had the hard proletariat steel worker rice farmer barista life to have a shred of empathy for this particular situation. Your empathy isn't a finite resource, only to be delt out on a truly justified occasion after considering the class of the people involved. Rich or poor, having a child with elon musk probably sucks so much ass. Can't we just agree on that rather than punching air? Or did you walk up hill both ways to your job at the business factory too many times to care about the humanity of someone with one too many zeros in their bank.
I say this as an eat the rich, burn them down kinda motherfucker. Don't lose your humanity.
Yes it is.
Idk he doesn't seem to be around much and he can definitely afford to pay for childcare. Regardless, it's weird to infantalize her, she's a grown woman with full agency who decided to have a baby with Elon Musk. He already had 10 with 10 different women, she wasn't tricked into anything.
That's hilarious cause you're defending one with a track record of being a vapid cunt.
Compassion fatigue is for teachers n shit. Not feeling bad that a person you don't know dated a shitty person and feeling bad for them. Christ, you really think that amounts to the shit firefighters have to deal with?
I don't have the time or inclination to care about a trust fund kid playing "radical lefty artist" who tried to have a baby by the worlds richest man and succeeded, why would I? I have actual things in my life. It's some Real Housewives of Techbros shit, I don't care about who said what or why. They're bad people and the world would likely be better off without them.
Ain't got time to care but plenty of time to bitch. C'mon bruv. Just say you hate them actively. That's okay. Your allowed. But don't act like you ain't got the time when your sitting here arguing about how much time you don't have.
I thought the part where I said the world would be better without them made that clear.
How do you feel about Eva Braun or Nancy Reagan? Are you eager to hear their side of the story?
Bruh did you just compare Grimes to Eva fucking Braun? Brother in Christ she divorced him cause of his Insanity. Neither Eva Braun nor Nancy Reagan did. Just as the clearest biggest hole into your dumbass statement. Done with you dawg. I hope that embarrassing response haunts your dreams.
Well I mean I guess Eva Braun never talked about how proud she was of white culture. And I guess Grimes wasn't abused and manipulated until she was suicidal and not allowed to leave. So idk man seems like Claire Boucher might actually be worse than Hitler(s wife).
Delusional.
She's a born rich wastrel who used her resources to become a self-proclaimed "Art Angel" who then met Musk on Twitter and then hooked up with him to have a baby. It wasn't a romantic love story.
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for her. The only one to feel sorry for is their poor dysfunctional kid.
tl;dr exactly, I work way too hard at the business factory to give a single fuck about two rich kids who think I was born to a lesser class than them. Get some solidarity starfucker.
Wow. You know a lot about how Grimes feels about people poorer than her.
Which is weird, because it's not a topic I've ever heard her talk about.
Hi I'm home now.
on elon being a cunt:
on "white culture"
she's so pro union too!
You should actually listen to some interviews with her, she's just another spoiled rich kid that knows fuckall about anything.
I was a fan once upon a time. You should watch some old interviews with her, she's not a nice person.
edit: Just saw who the commenter was. Go away I have better things to do today than argue about whatever nitpicky sentence you're going to doubledown on and argue for 30 comments.
edit edit: ya'll would probably defend marie Antoinette as she was led up the gallows
