It is so obvious Elon Musk is using his kid as a meat shield, and it is intensely repulsive.

carrying his toddler son around everywhere as a human shield is one of the most grotesque things I've ever seen a public figure do

It's child abuse.

Especially since it won't stop anyone if they're mad enough. Pointless death is the goal.

markshore.bsky.social•3 days ago

that would stop most of the nice protestors outside of Tesla dealerships from throwing eggs (spoiled, not precious fresh ones)

but a committed assassin with a plan? Musk may as well just count on his stupid hats and t-shirts to stop a bullet

morselya.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm still reminded of the "accessory" jibe from a certain religious organization, when referring to couples deferring child-bearing...

An assassin or hitman with principles might not take the shot.

Why does he assume that an assassin or hitman HAS principles?

afterthehavoc.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's the thing. I don't know why he thinks that this would deter the Standard American Right Wing Stochastic Terrorist™ most likely to plink at him.

Maybe because he is mostly going around intimidating federal bureaucrats?

Especially in the country where we're so numb to kids being shot that it barely even registers anymore

Taps the sign:

I feel so bad for that kid, having to be dragged along everywhere to Boring Adult Things constantly, and being regarded as an object rather than a person by his own father.

sinisternails1.bsky.social•2 days ago

As soon as he is no longer useful to his father he’ll be rotated out

That's why he's having so many--backups.

Once the hostage is too big to carry, Elon will have to scuttle around behind him like a bank robber with a Nixon mask on.

simsarah.bsky.social•2 days ago

That’s why he keeps making more of them…

jensequitur.bsky.social•3 days ago

That kid is going to turn out to be a terrible human being. I hope somebody can get him out of there before it’s too late.

awkwardancestry.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe. Maybe not. We can hope he rebels, I suppose.

The Kid is a prop.

I guess now we know which kid is the incompatible organ donor.

watertigernyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

coffee --> monitor

kimlacapria.bsky.social•2 days ago

i know she sucks but he's also aware of this discourse and terrorizing the kid's mom. i cannot even imagine :(

kirinlemondx.bsky.social•3 days ago

Joke's on him, I don't think it'd stop anyone. 🤷‍♂️

I'm still baffled how he thinks it'd work for a professional lmao

smorc.bsky.social•3 days ago

The kid isn’t just being used as a human shield but also a public taunt of grimes which makes it some how even worse

raddrrach.bsky.social•2 days ago

exactly.

I don't know, in that one the guy gets removed from power in disgrace for using a child as a human shield. Musk apparently just does it, without comment or consequences.

bschillace.brandyschillace.com•3 days ago

True

afterthehavoc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Normally I wouldn't approve of this brand of journalism, but: Someone who wants to burn a legacy media job should ask Musk on the record if he is using his kid as a human shield, press him about why he's bringing the kid everywhere, and if he gives the same attention to/can name his other 14 kids.

afterthehavoc.bsky.social•3 days ago

As always, if a screenshot of this makes it to Musk, he's a coward, a dipshit Nazi failson who bought his way to success through a combination of grift and the intelligence of better people. Trans rights forever. If he disagrees, he's welcome to challenge me to a duel, he could get us pardons.

paige9999.bsky.social•3 days ago

Rename that kid Kevlar

craigare.bsky.social•3 days ago

Musk was inspired by this

berdee.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nice
👍🏼

pseudonymble.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think he's teaching the kid to look down on everyone else.

roadkit.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think he needs to reconsider how committed someone might be. Collateral damage is an unfortunate by-product of war.

zetsubo.bsky.social•2 days ago

and also famously ineffective. enraged peasantry is not averse to killing the children of their rulers.

lacroixwatersux.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's really playing with the odds of someone Bruce Wayne-ing that kid.

50420.bsky.social•2 days ago

The kids gonna be less of a deterrent the more he’s seen acting like an asshole in public.

jaygernaut.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also, I'd guess Elon would fire anyone who brought their kid to work, especially to an important meeting.

sleepypeep.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hope there is at least a good nanny or 2 behind the scenes so at least some adult is prioritizing the kids needs as best they can when his shielding his dad’s head shift is over.

bexone.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a nice thought but Elon wouldn’t actually pay for a nanny

sleepypeep.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think he’s ok with throwing money at things he’s not interested in so he doesn’t personally have to deal with them. He pays for surrogates to gestate many of his children. I’m sure he doesn’t think twice about paying to eat at expensive restaurants or have his properties maintained.

bexone.bsky.social•3 days ago

He pays for IVF

What he doesn’t pay for is child support after the kids are born or healthcare if the kids turn out to not be perfect specimens

(He also doesn’t have very much liquid cash to actually pay *anyone*)
