Bad title.
Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.
- Elon Musk has unacceptable relationships with women at SpaceX, WSJ reports - The Verge

- No, in regards to Elon, he has always been a weirdo with women, starting with his first wife according to this essay published in 2010.
  I really urge people to read it if you haven't already, there are some great tidbits in there like him saying "I'm the alpha" as they were having their first dance at their wedding (hilarious stuff).
  None of the claims in the Verge article are surprising if you ever read Justine Musk's essay.
- I.E. Look at Vince McMahon/WWE.

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:
A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”
Elon is such a weirdo.
- It got worse.

  As it turns out, Elon Musk had a bunch of farms + horses from all the land he bought in the 2022-era. Elon Musk was actively trying to get rid of horses on his new property.
  Its not that Elon Musk was going to "buy her a horse". He had tons of spare horses and was looking to dump them onto someone else.
  
  Ha, not even buying her a horse. Like giving a mill puppy away for free
  
  Just start GlueX and get rid of them.
  
  “Gimme a blowie and you can just have one of my horses”
  Fuckin yikes
  
  Should've just killed them all at Neuralink. That's what they specialize in
- Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.
  
  Truth is, it works often enough that they'll keep trying.
  Whether it's fear, greed, or actual attraction doesn't matter to them, in their world they scored a win.
- he has to pay for it. no one is touching that for free
- Pony4PPGate
- Okay, so, how does this work? The horse bit, I mean. Does she want a horse, or was this just a gesture where the brain was off and the penis is at the wheel? Even if she wants a horse, they are kinda high maintenance. Does the horse deal come with a stable, and adjacent home? What about food and care for the duration of the horse's life? Someone to tend to the horse while she is working? What about the taxes on the land that this sits on? Does she get the land too? Is the land going to be in a geographical area that she wants? Good access to nearby towns, power, water, sewage, municipal trash services? Good school district? Who is paying for the utilities for this land/home? Good access to emergency services? Low crime, pollution, risk of natural disasters? I could go on.
  I mean there's a lot involved when you're being asked for a handy. Gotta make sure you get all the details!

  He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.
  
  She had a horse tattoo on her wrist. The End.
- No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.
  Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

Computer, translate
Unusual relationships with women

Computer: beep boop boop beep

- What is WSJ?
  
  Wall Street Journal

has unusual relationships with
That's a funny way to spell commits sexual harassment against.

Why cross these boundaries when you can just fill a yacht with porn stars and supermodels voluntarily and not violate any HR policies?
- He's got a weird eugenics thing going on. I guarantee you he unironically talks about "breeding engineers" and shit.
  
  A wealthy man from Soth Africa has weird views on eugenics? I'm shocked!
- Compulsion to exert power over people near you
- Less of a thrill doing that than sexually harassing your employees I guess

Elon Musk has unusual relationships to everyone and everything.

Now I understand why Trump wants him for his vice president.
- I am so looking forward to asking Elon for his long-form birth certificate
- They've registered the "daughterXchange.tru" domain.
- So he’s ineligible to run for president as he’s not a natural born citizen, but this made me wonder, are there any laws on who can be VP? What if they’re further down the line of succession, like Speaker of the House or president pro tem. of the Senate? What happens if, through the line of succession, someone who is ineligible to run still becomes president?
  
  No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President
  You can argue that it doesn't say anything about vice president, but then he can't be part of the line of succession so what is the point. Though I wonder if maybe saying he can't be vice president on those grounds means speaker of the house also must be natural born... The constitution is short and so you can come up with weird situations like this all over.

I was feeling bad for his ex right up until this gem:
”Then he took me to a bookstore and handed me his credit card. "Buy as many books as you want," he said. No man could have said anything sweeter.”
- I feel like a SpaceX engineer probably doesn't need a sugar daddy to buy a lot of books.
  
  Doesn't a SpaceX engineer technically already have a sugar daddy?
- Let's go to our local Library
  
  hands her a library card Check out as many books as you'd like.

Because he's a billionaire he gets away with doing things that would destroy a normal person over and over again, I don't like the tiered consequences that our society exhibits.
- Especially in terms of "legally not rape" charges, even the average man has to face terrifyingly few consequences. So many women report assaults, unwanted aggressive advances and "not exactly consensual kinds of intercourse" without the men ever facing anything serious, not even stigma. Banging blackout drunk girls is a sport for some people.
