Hmm. In the biographies it is a least clear that he values spending time with them and has them in mind for many decisions - but definitely in his own way… Like quality time with his newest baby while being on a SpaceX conference call.
I hear you. But a lot of the content of both biographies are based on recounts from other people about him - but still…
Regarding Vivian, Elon has definitely done a really horrible job with her. According to the most recent book, he presumably tried to downside his mansion lifestyle in an effort to gain a bit of her fondness for him back (this was driven by their differences in political views, hers being much more left leaning; not her transgender identity). But obviously it didn’t help one bit. It just goes to show that he will bend for people (including his children) to like him.
I will take the hate - don’t understand it, as I am not defending him, but sure, mention Elon and you will be blazed by a flamethrower regardless. If there is something specific regarding hate towards me, let me know.
I mean no one wants to be hated by the in-crowd. I think him losing progressive clout back when he was with old grimey hit him hard. He spent a fortune in reddit psychophants, cartoon spotlights, TV exposure, and other media to get people the progressives to like him.
It didn’t work, and rather than slinking into background like other billionaires he made an emotional decision to publicly pivot alt-right. I think this really is who he is, but I don’t think he actually likes it. He embraces loudly it because he knows we hate it.
I think deep down all these adults with power who act emotionally just want to be beloved, but cannot accept that their core values make them reviled. I can definitely understand him trying to do right by his kids, in his own warped logic sense
He doesn’t even like his own children.
And they don’t even like him
I don’t think that is true he uses them as props all the time.
“This is my son, Kevlar.”
I could totally see him naming his son Kevlar for real.

And the better question: Do they like him?
The dude has a breeder fetish. Once they start becoming people he loses interest
I wouldn’t believe the biography of a liar. One of his children, Vivian Wilson, has a very different story to tell.

This fucking man went on national tv to say she was dead to him and that woke killed his son. Fuck you and fuck him.

You are devils advocating when the devil is not only in the room he’s on the tv spouting bigotry and abuse.

Has Dave Chappelle ever said how much Elon paid him to appear onstage with him?
I think Dave did that for the love of the game
