By the way, what’s this one barcode, “X4t-2-y34rs-4g0”?
That’s probably to stop somebody shooting him in head.
Meh it’s an heir anyway.
I don’t even wanna know what that guy smells like.
Bro has no idea how resilient babies are to the squish lol.
You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.
I’ve never seen him with any of his kids before.
And if you think about it, he’s definitely a heartless bastard to do this.
And now I’m wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I’ve seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.
Imagine being this kid and growing up and realizing one day the only reason dad ever suddenly started giving a shit about you was because he was using you as a meat shield because some guy named Luigi killed another rich guy. I’d be devastated
The chance of that kid not becoming an entitled piece of shit is really low, but I hope he can beat the odds.
Well, his daughter already did.
Yes, definitely! Dunno about any of the other 10.
The man has 12 children. Why have i never seen any photos of him with his kids until now? Sus. Very sus.
Using innocents, especially the wounded and children, as shields are a staple of terrorists everywhere. There’s a reason why Hamas was posting up in hospitals and schools constantly like it mattered much to Israel in the end.
All it takes for Elon is someone with better aim though. Aim small miss small.
Or someone who is happy to take out the king and the heir in one go.
Yeah it mattered so much to them that they never bombed a single school or hospital to avoid casualities! Man what humane people /s
Parkrose Permaculture did an excellent analysis of that in about ten minutes on yt.
So he is literally Hamas! Where is the world’s most moral army when you need them! Come on IDF, drop a few hundred 2000 lb bombs!
No matter the collateral damage I presume?
The IDF, the world’s most humane and civilized army, has a zero percent collateral damage rate! Everyone killed by them is Hamas! Children, the mentally disabled, the physically disabled, people who are unaware, mothers. All are Hamas if they die!
Dear IDF soldier reading this: I fully support the Palestinian resistance. Please, whatever you do, do not bomb Elon Musk while he is next to Donald Trump in the Oval Office. It would make me very sad.
In The Dead Zone Stephen King predicted society would turn on a politician who used a child to shield themselves from an assassin.
I no longer think that is true, at least for members or associates of one party.
Picture referred to
Ohhhh. So that’s why he’s on the shoulders. Blocking that headshot through the window.
Those windows can take sustained .50cal fire. That kid would only count as concealment against anything deployed effectively against those windows.
Unintentional, facelifted, duckface.
Honestly, his presence doesn’t make me less willing to shoot musk in the head. I don’t give enough of a fuck about his kid.
…do you people even hear yourselves?
I completely understand hating Elon, but wanting to shoot him and being ok with his innocent child being collateral is fucking insane.
The fact you felt ok commenting it and at least 35 other people upvoted that is crazy to me.
Does any of the oligarchy care about who they hurt? Do most people care who they hurt. We have rampant capitalism and people get hurt over it but nobody cares.
For real. That’s beyond anything politics and just straight up evil…
I don’t care who it pisses off, but I will never hold children accountable for the actions of their parents. If they grow up and continue their parents shitty actions that’s a different conversation, but preemptively assuming someone will turn out a certain way is disgusting.
Do not judge the kid before they are responsible for their actions.
Most of Elons children turn against him.
Oh I’m absolutely not judging his kid at all. He’s in a terrible situation having musk as a father.
Unfortunately shooting his dad is a trolley dilemma type scenario
There’s a genuine argument that his genes shouldn’t be passed on, but we’re entering eugenics territory there.
we
You took it there.
Pedantry, if you think other people aren’t thinking the same thing you’re a fool
I speak only for myself, and I happen to believe being a sociopathic robber baron isn’t genetic.
Sometimes the Luigis are the children we meet along the way.
Because they distanced themselves from Elon. If this kid grows up with Elon he’s doomed to be like him.
Vivian seems pretty cool. You shouldn’t assume they’re going to follow after their dad. Especially if they realize he used them as a meat shield
I’m making no assumptions about the kid, and I would much rather have the kid not be harmed.
All I mean is that I would much rather that their dad no longer be alive.
Don’t go for the head, too small. Probably useless also. All his vitals are just sitting there unprotected even by his “meatshield”
Fair point! Also, shooting musk in the body would be less likely to kill the kid, and only traumatize him.
In fact, shooting him in the head would center-mass the kid. Not a good way to go.
Chest.

I love online that is not an infant so people even know what words mean. Imhe would be a toddler.
Lol I doubt anyone here would claim the democrats are what you say.
And when thousands die (including children, infants, and babies all) because Mump (Musk/Trump) cut what little social help they have, it’s just fine and dandy.
Unfortunately, sometimes this type of thing just needs to be done for the greater good. Two lives for the price of thousands who can barely afford to live as is.
Doubling down and saying “eh his kid might just have to die for the greater good” is fucking wild.
Again, there are thousands of other kids who will die thanks to Musk and Trump. It sounds wild to you, and it is definitely not something I would ever prefer, but that is where we are at right now, realistically.
No. It’s where you are at right now.
The rest of the normal people wouldn’t even entertain the idea of killing an innocent child just to take out one guy they didn’t like.
You people all desperately need help.
Your moral compasses don’t even have cardinal directions anymore.
If you say so, friend. I’ll drop the conversation here.
Well, yes, obviously, he probably never even saw the kid before that. I dare some ballsy journalist to ask him, what’s the kids name.
Like… are we 100% sure that’s even his kid?
I am sure he bought it fair and square.
He would know the kids name because it’s the same as any other musk endeavour. He’s not very creative.
His name is X?
Yeah… X Æ A-12 Musk, or “X” for short.
Chi Ash, not sure on the A12…so Chiash? Trash?
It would be ridiculously easy to frame that as just making small talk too.
“And who’s this little guy?”
“Y’know, Elon, I’ve only ever actually seen his name written down; if you don’t mind me asking, how do you pronounce it?”
Ah, so that’s why he is so insistent on having so many children.
I wonder if he’s already working on the next one for when this one ages-out.
Maybe he will just pay people to borrow children.
That’s how kids become Batman
Batman was kinda a piece of shit, only really hurt /killed the henchmen. Never stopped the parade of evil villains who just turnstiled thru the jail/asylums.
Batman isn’t real and nothing happened the writers didn’t command. How the hell are you judging a fictional character’s personality because the writers wanted to have consistent baddies for people to cheer for/against?
Lmao homie
Nice try Bruce
Most. Akshually. Argument. Ever.
I swear we are watching the origin story of Batman unfold.

Lemmy isn’t a political party, its a decentralized platform for communities and peoples of all kinds. Theres a left leaning bias for people who like unions and stuff but youll find plenty of communities for the far right and everything between.
The real reason you see this only here on lemmy because you’re actually free to give such a hot take without being instantly banned by a centralized authority. Maybe you’re so used to supressed and sanitized corporate run discussion fourms you forgot what people are actually like when they are free to express themselves. This is just the darker side of humanity unmasked. The suffering common people wishing death on their ruling aristocracy who just sees them as cattle and not caring if their bloodlines die with them has been around pretty much forever.
This is like a trolley problem: how many infant are you willing to run over in order to kill Elon? And how many children are dying just by the fact that piece of garbage is alive?

I always find tge “only on x” comments to be an incredibly stupid form as hyperbole. Either you’re an idiot who doesn’t realize people will say the same type of stuff on discords, forums, Twitter, Facebook, whatsapp, texts/dms, and a plethora of other places, or you do know and you just ignore it to criticize the platform for whatever reason.
Since you’re attacking (as others pointed out) a decentralized platform that anyone can spin up (including Nazis and the like) by trying to make us a monolith, I’m leaning more to the first, but I guess you could just be a troll.
