Oh, That Baby Mama DRAMA

You know, in this case, black hat Elon is far from the worst of them.

Gender roles takes have reached a fever pitch in recent years, so a political party that used to bemoan “welfare queens” and “single moms” now celebrates a woman like Ashley St. Clair because she got sperm from a rich guy in St. Bart’s in January 2024. It’s a bunch of crazy takes that, if you spend even 27 seconds looking at it, you’ll have to contort your brain six different ways to figure out what exactly is happening anymore. (That’s actually the name of a Substack I write, if you ever want to check that out.)

Alright, so look, the Elon stuff is weird and the psychology of that guy is basically a more insane version of Howard Hughes with a mix of home-school energy and (checks notes) a dad who impregnated his own step-daughter, so yea, we can leave that where it is.

In the grand scheme of things, though, Elon does appear to shell out big money for those who carry his children. Apparently St. Clair has a security detail, a chef, and lives in a nice apartment in downtown Manhattan, near the judicial complex. I doubt being a MAGA grifter online pays for that stuff. So while I think Elon is a confusing mess of morality and masculinity, he’s at least kinda sorta “doing the right thing” there and with other women. He actually might care about Shivon Zillis (now mom of four via him), but I have no idea.

I have written about true crime for years at this point — my ex-wife used to tell me it should be the only thing I ever write about, which I am not sure if that was an insult or a praise, looking back — and I’ve written about lots of guys who killed the mother of their kids. Here’s one from Illinois that’s semi-recent. If you watch enough Dateline, you know: “It’s almost always the husband.”

In what I swear will be my last reference to Elon, let’s just say that: he’s better than a lot of guys. He ain’t swinging axes or wielding guns.

I actually just saw two-three new ones that I had forgotten about, and I wanted to draw some attention to those cases as well.
