      This tree explains a lot. We are a product of our environment and Musk is the offspring of a man he himself describes as "evil". And now one of his own children wants nothing to do with him anymore. History repeats. It's also ironic that Musk wants to populate the earth so he increases the amount of offspring by being a spermdonor. So he's a spermdonor to all but (potentially) a father to none.

      Social credit is a philosophy of policy for economics and finance, a model developed by British engineer C.H. Douglas, he debated his ideas with the famous economist John Maynard Keynes.
      His model requires a monetary reform to make money supply to reflect as close as possible the real economy of trading and producing goods and services.
      If done correctly there would be an increase in purchasing power currently hindered by the cost accountancy practices explained by Douglas's theorem A+B in one part and in the other by the monopoly of credit under the banking system and it's fractional reserve policy. (Something also recognised by economist such as Ludwig Von Mises, Frederick Hayek and Milton Friedman).
      His ideas have been developed and explained by a some economist in particular by an Australian PhD.
      There is a dedicated chanel to explain this economic system in UA-cam and is considered outside the capitalist and socialist escpectrum and more in line with Distributibism.
      Personally I consider it to be the best economic model developed so far and is worth studying it, it holds the key to drastically reduce poverty and even rehabilitate environmental degradation.

      Too many men are not proper father's but mere sperm donors who don't give a rats arse about their kids needs. Then they try to blame the mother's for when the kids want nothing to do with them.
      Some men clearly don't own a mirror

    7:44 is literally an adult entertainment plot device, for when the stepbro fiction isn't scandalous enough.
    I think UsefulCharts made a related video once. No, not adult entertainment. Something about a grandpa.

    So Elon is a product of Technocratic philosophies. Technology is part of his view of world order. That explains why he is so devoted to his projects and has asserted himself in politics. Fascinating! So fascinating.
