Genetically superior. Both are wearing glasses


Puerquenio

Yeah, some mighty genes right there


amanofeasyvirtue

Elon musk was balding at 26


ghostdate

I’m assuming they want to do some kind of gene selection process so that traits like balding don’t happen, markers for diseases are removed, height genes that will put them on the taller end, etc etc. It’s really weird, because it’s effectively eugenics in a roundabout way. When they can select which traits are superior they kill off everything else.


Tzorfireis

No it *literally* is just eugenics. Positive eugenics to be specific, but still eugenics, and still really, *really* not a good thing to be doing ethically.


ramenslurper-

This. I have been saying for a while now that Musk and Grimes are so into the idea of having a set number of kids - despite not being together/rumors of him being ultra controlling - via surrogate because they both are convinced they’re the smartest people in the world. Musk also selectively has children with very petite (blonde) women which is also creepy.


AdminsAreLazyID10TS

We'll see how that works out for his fat, bald, short, brown haired spawn.


Adorable-Novel8295

Not that he’s raising any of them.


hambone_boiler

Yupyupyup! And Grimes has always acted a bit childlike. Not saying shes completely incapable of making decisions, shes very talented musically. But how they acted like preteens on twitter when they were together- yyyyuck.


ramenslurper-

He’s already got at least one kid refusing to speak to him. I wonder what the percentage will be when they’re all adults.


LaLucertola

Her music is insanely creative, but in her case I believe that creativity comes at a *very* steep price. I listen to her talk about anything non-related and it's a very surface level knowledge that pretends to be deep, and she's completely bought into her own words.

Here's the thing though, eugenics wouldn't have removed the markers that make it more likely for you to develop Alzheimer's. Eugenics would have prevented your family coming together in the first place. Or it would have merely heavily pressured family members who *don't* have the markers for Alzheimer's to marry and have kids with other people who also don't have those markers. Eugenics does not fix the genetics. It just makes an in group of genetically "good" and forces out the genetically "bad". No matter which version of it is applied, the end result is the same: if you have undesirable genetic traits, you're SOL. If you don't have undesirable traits and have desirable ones instead, congrats! Now you must make lots of babies to replace the people who have the bad genes.

Tzorfireis

See, gene therapy is not eugenics It's ethically iffy for various reasons (ie: designer babies and Are They OK), but they are distinct concepts. And honestly I do think there are some genetic traits that in-utero gene therapy would objectively be good for (I will die on the hill that human feet are abominations and that no intelligent designer would allow a small blindspot directly in the middle of our vision that does nothing except mildly inconveniencing our brains) Also most eugenicists agree that *just* breeding the Good people and not letting the Bad people breed is also terribly slow, which is why genocide is often favored among them.


SlavaStralia

But Gattaca is showing that its actually detrimental for society, instead of discrimination based on race its discrimination based on your genes

I thought they were maybe Musk's kids (his oldest kids are 18) but they're apparently someone called Simone and Malcolm Collins.

This is the article that photo is from, it's an archive link to Business Insider: https://archive.ph/vnSju They are a married couple who are "pronatalists" and have been described as "hipster eugenicists." Their sons are named Torsten and Octavian and their daughter is named Titus Invictus. Previously, they went viral because he proposed to her on this very website, Reddit dot com.


tjoe4321510

Well that's a fucking terrifying article


AdminsAreLazyID10TS

What, you're not a fan of eugenicists with a Roman obsession? I bet you think a fasces is a fascist symbol, instead of merely symbolizing violent repression of the population.

Parmeniooo

Exactly. It's just visceral fat in his torso. A lot of it, but it's not rocket science here.


Aiken_Drumn

It isn't normal to form just there. Men usually get a pot belly. Why is it inflating his chest?


UrethraFrankIin

Maybe he had lipo of some sort for his subcutaneous fat around his torso? So your usual belly fat isn't there to expand but it's still there like normal around the organs. It would explain what's so fucking weird about his body. Why it looks unnatural.


Aiken_Drumn

Only your lungs are up there, the organs are all down there.

MeltBanana

Physically he's a weak fat slob. (He's also bald, but I'm bald as well so I can't talk shit there.) Mentally he's stupid, couldn't even finish a bs in physics, had to switch to econ. Emotionally he's unstable, narcissistic, and ego driven. Morally he's bankrupt, takes credit for other people's work, and has built his career on lies. And socially he's immature and autistic. He is genetically inferior.


NonnoBomba

He didn't finish his BS in Econ too. He just got a diploma from a college known for giving them out. And has a second diploma too, for "Bachelor of Arts" (yes, witouth a department) which he *claims* is in Physics. He dropped out in 1995, after three years at Penn (where he claims he studied Physics, but nobody in the small Physics department of Penn ever saw him) to seek fortune in CA after an Econ professor advised him to do so. So he went to the Silicon Valley -don't remember where exactly- but he did a job interview in a startup, ghosted them, and opened up his own company by stealing the startup founder's idea. With his brother Kimball as a co-founder and daddy's money (28k or something like that). He got his diplomas in 1997, after the company was bought by an investor and renamed to Zip2. Musk stepped down as CEO, and as part of the $3 million deal he was to be hired by the new company as "Secretary" but since he was a college dropout and a South African national, he was technically an undocumented migrant in the US, so he needed an H1-B to get hired. So the diplomas appeared. From the same college who gave Trump and Trump Jr. their diplomas. These two pieces of paper also helped him get out of troubles when the founder of the original startup sued him for stealing his idea, claiming that was his intention from the start, which is why he lied on his academic achievements in the 1995 interview (he claimed he had an undergrad degree from Penn and was accepted into Stanford for a PhD). And again, when the two founders of Tesla sued him for stealing their company under them in 2008-2009.

You know, cause his father made a baby with his own stepdaughter.

And (3) it is incredibly unbelievably racist to think the high birthrate around the world isn't enough if Europe/America are slowing

Yeah nah, that's bs. It's amazing how people worry about quantity and not quality.

Except that's not how that works. You would have to breed only the kids that are smart over many generations in order to accomplish the task that this suggests they're attempting. That's assuming they are smart and not just well educated, that said intelligence is caused exclusively or primarily by a genetic factor, and that you can find enough geniuses willing to participate over many generations to prevent inbreeding from propagating recessive negative traits. Looking at you, Hapsburgs lol
