Does the world’s richest man really believe that the West might be saved by the same sexual practices found in a Chinese imperial court?

Elon Musk allegedly has at least 14 children with four separate women.

Musk is also allegedly building a series of properties – a baby compound some are calling it – to house his various families.

“A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far,” he tweeted in 2022. “There’s really no time like the present. Just have kids. You won’t be sorry. It’ll work out.”

If all these pronatalists want legions of children, perhaps it’s time they started being better fathers.

    Sorry.

    Go back to the 1960s. Ronald Reagan had divorced his first wife to marry a hot blond bimbo. People said that Conservatives would never elect such a wild rake. All Ronnie had to do was throw them some red meat and suddenly a Hollywood pretty boy who’d skipped WW2 became a Founding Father.

      I got curious so I did some searching:

      Wyman divorced Reagan in 1949, Reagan married Nancy Davis in 1952

      So not entirely accurate to say he divorced his first wife to marry another (by some accounts, Wyman divorced him and moved on).

      That being said, fuck Reagan all the same.
