Is Elon Musk Using His Toddler Son As A Human Shield?

[LouC]

Oh yuck.

Sorry. But it had to be asked!

 

[americanwoman]

safety? you think a kid left alone is safer? you think surrounded with bodyguards isn't safe?

look, liberals are just hating every way they can. If Mush was leaving kid behind, they'd complain he was a bad dad. Bring him with and he's a bad dad. There will literally be NOTHING good said about Trump's administration for 4 years by liberals no matter how good things happen

you know it
I know it

Lol keep defending a very rich public figure who fears an assassination attempt trotting his kid around in public.

And FFS you really think if Musk doesn't have the child there is no one else to take care of him? Like the richest man in the world can't afford a ****ing good nanny or leave him with the mother? Very naive, you must be.

 

[MaryP]

Paid assassin? Maybe, but only thing I know about them comes from movies . If it was Jason Statham, he wouldn't shoot the kid.

LOL

 

[americanwoman]

ultra rich do that - didn't you know ?

you think then someone is trying to kill Musk and his family ?

Musk himself has said multiple times he fears for his life.

If you don't know that, maybe you should research the topic before commenting.

Not yet. Give DOGE a chance.

What? You think they leave the kid home alone? Try thinking harder.

The child would be in NO danger if he weren't draped over his father.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

He lugs the kid around with him in the vain attempt to appear human.

Not working.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

Musk just strengthened his personal security detail for safety reasons. Given that would you carry your little son around on your shoulders? I will never understand the need to defend no matter what.

If he keeps dragging that kid around like that, he will grow up to be just as ****ed in the head as Musk.

 

[PoS]

You think it's a good idea for the world's richest man to parade his child around in public like that?

Because to me putting a child at risk is not being a dad. I may not be a "lib" but probably am to you so it's BS you think I would hate dads because I care more about the child's safety.

Why not? When my child was a toddler I carried him on my shoulders in public.

You are totink.ally clueless what Libs th

Uh, are you OK?

IMO, this thread and the prior posts in the first two pages regarding "opinions" on the topic show how truly despicable some people can be.

That's all I have to say on this topic.

Yeah, as if going after Elon wasnt enough, now theyre going after his kids. Sad.

We're you getting threats? Did you have an armed security service 7/24?

 

[ColdHardTruth]

I should also add: If he is not using his child as some sort of human shield to stop the more conscientious assassins* what the Hell is he doing dragging his child out in public like this? It is weird and creepy.

It's also extremely dangerous. Musk doesn't care about anybody but himself.

*This is funny because it implies Elon Musk believes that people who want to kill him would be moral actors who would want to kill him out of a genuine sense of moral outrage, but would not wish to harm a child. That is, he believes his assassins would be good people at heart. It raises the question, what does that make him by his own self-conception?

A Nazi terrorist with money.

 

[Ouroboros]

Well, it is Musk, so the topic is bound to be wacky.

Consider this: if this was a wanted international terrorist going around in public with his kid wrapped around his head would you believe that terrorist was using the kid as a human shield?

No, the topic is wacky because all Mad Libs infected with Musk Derangement Syndrome do wacky things. If a Mad Lib simply believed that EM was using his son for positive publicity and that it was gross to do so, that wouldn't be MDS, even though I'm sure said Lib would given Sleepy Joe a pass on the various times he posed with grandson Beau. But it takes a special (in both senses of the word) lunacy to imagine that Musk would be using his son as a shield. I mean, he's not one of the Hamas terrorists that Mad Libs so admire, after all. It's a stupid idea even from physical logic. Any assassin trying to knock off Musk from a distance with a high powered rifle, like the Trump assassination attempt that the Bidenistas abetted, could simply shoot through the kid and still have a good chance to get the dad too. I did err in calling the post just "wacky." "Toxic" is the correct word.

Were you the richest man in the world who was afraid of assassination attempts at that time? Context matters.

 

[exoplanet]

I wish I could put it past him, but I don't see the point in implying this kind of stuff without evidence either. We already know he's sociopathic from his actions. He's a famous billionaire who's probably had significant security detail for years now. He's never going to walk alone in public like that CEO. I doubt he's that fearful.

 

[SMTA]

It is rather disgusting. Were I a notoriously ultra-wealthy man, and certainly were I known to be the richest man on Earth, I would pay real money to make sure nobody beyond my family and closest personal friends knew what my children looked like. I would not be taking my child around riding on my shoulders in public.

What about his other 12 kids?

It’s pretty weird. It’s like he knows he’s such a rancid piece of shit that even a good and righteous person would try to assassinate him, therefore a little child is sufficient to deter any such would-be assassin.

 

[Absentglare]

Elon Musk has publicly admitted he fears an assassination attempt. He appears to publicize nearly every random thought that passes through his head like verbal diarrhea on his social media feeds.

While that is an unwise practice even for twenty-something grocery store cashiers who never leave their hometown, it is an unbelievably stupid thing to do for someone in Musk’s position. Publicity is vulnerability. The more you share, the more of your vulnerabilities the world can identify, and the more avenues there are to manipulate you.

While I realize that social media has its uses for reinforcing messaging and carefully disseminating political propaganda, neither Musk nor Trump seem to be putting any thought into what they share and why. Like most social media junkies, they get triggered and then they immediately vent their frustration publicly without thinking about the potential consequences. That is so dangerous when you are in a leadership position, and not just to yourself but to everyone who is affected by your actions.

I would definitely not say that Trump and Musk are not putting thought into what they post on social media. I think their lies are designed in a lab to manipulate their adherents.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

I find this theory extremely possible so I am leaning yes. It's disturbing but as others have said, Musk is disturbing. We all know he ain't father of the year yet this little brat (not the kids fault for being raised by a buffoon) conveniently shows up all over the place.

He's using this poor kid as a prop. IMO, the mother should not allow this, bad for the child.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

The way Elon hauls this kid around in public as he supposedly fears getting assassinated is disturbing.

A shield/prop.

If so, they could use better script writers.

Musk has 14 kids.

One of whom he has disowned because they are trans.

He is far from any sort of “father of the year”

He doesn’t take all his kids with him places. He doesn’t even take all the ones he talks to.

Just one. That’s conveniently sized to fit on his shoulders.

This is a definite contender for stupidest OP on DP for year 2025. All you Mad Libs take note, this is stiff competition for you, even with ten more months to rant in.

To be fair, Musk has 14 children, he has left them all behind in one way or another. He seems to favor this child for some reason.

 

[Absentglare]

The script is intentionally bad. They need to drag their cult conceptually as far from reality as they possibly can, to keep absolute control over their belief set.

I can't argue with that

but a man showing his kid time/affection shouldn't be frowned upon
