The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

I was raised in the Mormon church and big yes to all of this. The promise of safety and security in exchange for being a helpmeet and mother is a false bargain that never serves the woman's best interest. Aspiring baby tradwives, beware.
It seems like a horrible bargain TBH. When I learned about the husband/wife deal as a child I was astonished. Of course everyone would WANT a wife! But who would want to BE a wife? I used to sit and watch Bewitched at my babysitters and hate Darren. God, how I hated him. (I loved Samantha though.)
It’s a tenet of right wing femininity that sexual and reproductive service to men earns women their place in the world. But it is a core belief of the right wing man that no woman, however compliant, has any claim on him that he must respect.
The right wing woman thinks that in being subservient to right wing men she is striking a deal. The right wing man knows that in accepting the subservience of right wing women he is exploiting a resource.
You are very welcome. It is a challenging film and addresses the subject matter in a brutally honest and unflinching manner. I could not recommend it more highly.
2. Bought part and parcel into the notion that being the Perfect Wife who makes endless sacrifices for her husband during hard times ensured undying loyalty/fidelity once Dan got rich.
Learning otherwise apparently drove her to a psychotic break.
Growing up in the South, have seen this & seen this cycle playing out, especially with regular church-goers. There’s always a trendy men’s thing happening (Promise Keepers etc) but any real change is not & the fundamentals still apply
Also, I have no idea what is wrong with one of their children (I'm so sorry for whatever is happening) but Elon is not interested in what he perceives to be "unfit" children.
She’s one of the few people who know him who publicly called him out when he was taking the piss out of pronouns or whatever on twitter a year or so ago, which I respect her for immensely. She’s no average joe and most likely naive in many ways but she’s no conservative
There is something deeply tragic about Grimes and some of Musk's previous wives being quietly pushed from a position of independent personhood and individual success into this desperate courtier-like position - by the sheer gravity of the man's enormous wealth and power.
I don't think Grimes is a right-wing woman, really, I think she's a naïve techno-futurist - who was suckered in my 2016 Musk when he was always talking about climate change and being a socialist.
She may not identify herself as right wing but such label is definitely fair. After a quick Wikipedia tour I can see that she associates herself with far-right even after separation with her baby father
She seems to have zero interest for climate change or the environment and rather shows she's committed to the tech bro fantasy world of colonizing Mars and living in a AI altered reality. She's also praised "white culture" previously. That said, it was def an abusive relationship..
Like, she's totally loaded. Sure, yeah, dads should be around, but it's not like he was ever a good guy, and she can't be hurting for health care access. Also, celebrities are famous because they know how to get attention. Of course she trolled the press.
She went to Curtis Yarvin's wedding last year. I also know a few people who went to high school with Claire in Vancouver. She was a mean girl from a wealthy family who delighted in directing cruelty to young women who were bigger and/or less privileged than her. She has always been horrible.
I agree in general, but this is a bad example. She started dating someone who was seen as a clean tech champion, anti-trade union but otherwise not particularly right win. When he started spewing the right wing stuff she was surprised and confused about where it was coming from, but it was too late.
Sadly, no :-( Electric car trump had already started ripping the mask off when she started fucking him, and as others have mentioned she's still hanging around in those circles.
Maybe she's doing it for the lulz, but that's no excuse.
I wasn't previously aware that sealioning stretched to suggesting the victim of an abusive relationship might have shared a view that was then pretty widespread of her abuser when she got into the relationship, but ok.
It's like

How did you know know that this is what you signed up for having a baby with a white South African billionaire, one of. THE most racist demographics ever
Be as that may, the child doesn’t deserve any of this. None of Musk’s children asked to be related to him, or at the mercy of his whims. I worry for them.
The thing is though, Grimes vocally supported Bernie Sanders in 2020, said billionaires shouldn't exist, and that she could "make an exception" for someone fighting for renewable energy/ to save the planet. She's not the world's greatest example of a "right wing woman". I don't know what happened/
When she was having children with him (at least initially) he wasn't talking about right-wing politics, he was running a company making electric cars, batteries to back up renewable energy and selling solar systems. He shifted politically and she tried to get away, but was already emeshed.
I mean, his ex wife wrote an article about what a terrible partner he was, which was more of a disincentive to not date the guy. Wouldn't be surprised if he claimed she was "crazy" to dismiss that, if it ever came up
I have no idea - I can only go based on what they said publicly, and he notably had a big shift in 2020 from the pandemic, and then seemed to become far more extreme after they broke up - which happened after she found out he secretly fathered kids with a coworker.
Musk supported Barack Obama in 2008, 2012, Hillary Clinton 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Donald Trump in 2024. In 2014, Musk described himself politically as "half Democrat, half Republican" and "somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative."
Whether it's his influence, social circles, or how being with someone abusive (which he clearly is) is akin to being in a cult, but she was not like that even a few years ago.
I think the truth is that she's a total pseud. Posing with a copy of Capital in a weird outfit for the paparazzi, her intellectual journey through all kinds of twitter morons - it reeks of "I want to be seen to be deep" to me
I recall too that her mom angrily referred to him as "red pilled" when she was in labor in spring 2020: Grimes' Mom Slams Elon Musk's 'Red Pill' Tweet https://search.app/qT56MBdM4aazPQJc7
Except Elon won't let Grimes see her own kids. There's a whole custody war going on there that never gets mentioned in the press when Elon does his "super dad" impression. Grimes' mum had to BEG Elon on twitter to allow her mum to see the kids before she passed. Don't know how that went.
The calculation is that the wealth/status/power she can achieve by aligning herself with the subjugator in a gendered world remains higher than what she could hope for in an ungendered one.
My parents fondly retell the story of my mom forgetting her DL on their honeymoon and my dad having to fill out paperwork for her as if she was a goat to go to the Bahamas. So yes like a pet.

And OP's story rings true ... Musk has basically bailed.

Crazy story hers is.
Dan Broderick being one famously shocking exception.
But yeah Betty Brodericks mental breakdown was almost certainly because as a Catholic girl in the 60s
Learning otherwise apparently drove her to a psychotic break.
Can exasperate them when the theology is bad, sure
Now redistribute your wealth to my small black business this black history month
Show up irl
Part of the subservience is ideological. Eugenic Musk expects Grimes (and any of his partners) to be too.
She had 1 through normal conception and the other 2 by IVF
Elon built a mansion in Austin got 2 of his women and 6 of his kids and this woman did not move in.
These are not normal people
Maybe she's doing it for the lulz, but that's no excuse.
(damnit, I *liked* her music)
You are sealioning for her here.

he looked normalish but kooky thanks to his adult babysitters.
