I’d like a think piece on how Musk uses his child in public spaces.

REPORTER: If you have received billions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon and the president is directing you to look into the DoD, does that present a conflicts of interest?

MUSK: First of all, I'm not the filing the contract. It's people at SpaceX

Imagine if a woman did this.

A loser with an inferiority complex is the worst! Ps, your kid isn’t an accessory. 🙄

There are norma against making the President’s minor children the focus of public inquiry for a reason. Sheesh.

It humanizes him, though. It makes me feel okay about his tearing apart the very foundations of our democracy while simultaneously taking a chain saw to medical research.

As a shield. As a shield against criticism, AND as a shield against assassination. It's not a coincidence that this became a regular thing after the name Luigi Mangione became a household word.

The kid is his human shield.

Not my idea but I heard it was protection against assassination because no one would want to risk a child as collateral damage and that does make sense. This may be the only kid who isn’t rambunctious or too old/young.

Also always that one specific child, none of the others.

Yup. Just that one chosen child.

The rest of the children who would benefit by social services, research to help minimize preventable disease, and treatments to ease the burden for known disease can, I guess, just eff off?

Oh, especially if those kids are not super white and/or rich.
