Trump and Elon both have a billion kids so this is kinda closing the barn door after the horses are already out.
(I kid, but this is legitimately horrifying )
- I kid, but
  Maybe don't if you're going to perpetuate exactly the same bullshit they are?
  
  Sorry, I really wasn’t trying to punch down. What they’re proposing is abhorrent. I just still, after all this time, am in awe of the lack of self awareness from these dudes. They think they’re genetically superior geniuses while they’re middling, at best, and have many kids with many women.
  
  The part that made me feel gross about your comment was the fact that at least one of the people you referred to is a trans woman, and has been disowned by her father. It's literally the reason that Musk became rabidly transphobic.
  
  I’m not saying that I wish Elon’s children were never born. I’m really not saying anything about them at all, good bad or otherwise. (although at least 3 of the 5 Trump kids are pretty awful people).
  I’m saying that it’s hypocritical for someone to talk about sterilizing people they view as undesirable intellectually while 1) being kind of a dumbass and 2) having 10+ kids that they likely neglect. The fact that one of Elon’s kids happens to be a (by all accounts lovely) trans woman has nothing to do with it.
