Musk 'recruits' women on X to build

Elon Musk has said it's his duty to “make new humans”, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal. The report also details how far the billionaire tech mogul is willing to go to fulfill his vision of solving what he sees as a “population collapse crisis”- and how he’s using his own social platform, X, to do it.

According to people familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by WSJ, Musk has privately approached multiple women through X, initiating flirty or intellectual exchanges that sometimes escalated into direct requests: would they be willing to have his child?

One woman he connected with this way was conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who began privately messaging with Musk after he started liking and commenting on her posts. The connection deepened. She visited the X offices, entered a relationship with him, and eventually gave birth to his child, Romulus, in fall 2023.

The report suggests Musk may have fathered 'significantly more children than the 14 publicly known', though the exact number remains unclear.

This wasn’t an isolated incident. In another case, Musk approached 'Tiffany Fong', a crypto influencer, through X. After a series of public likes and private messages, Musk proposed she have his child - despite never having met her in person. Fong declined, citing her own values around family, but when Musk discovered she had shared the message with friends, he cut off contact. She was later removed from the platform’s revenue-sharing program, and her income plummeted.

The secrecy is critical to Musk’s pronatalist mission, which he often couches in civilization-saving terms. “A collapsing birthrate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far,” Musk told a Saudi investment forum in 2023 according to the report. “If people don’t have more kids, we’re doomed.”

He envisions building a “legion” of children—his term—with intelligent and genetically desirable women. According to sources, Musk has even discussed surrogacy and compound-style living for future mothers. Those who agree to participate, like Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who has had four children with Musk, often receive high levels of discretion and support.

But those who push back - like St. Clair or pop star Grimes, who has also been involved in a custody battle over their three children - often find themselves up against Musk’s formidable legal and financial machine.

Is supporting Trump treason?

Moneylust — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 17:52:22 +0800

If ayam not mistaken (ayam no lawyer), supporting a country that is waging war against your own country is treason, correct?

What about economic war?

Since the Orange Moron is waging a trade war against countries of the world, should citizens of the targeted counties who support him be arrested for treason?

What is going on? Grab riders here sila beri pencerahan.

My kolik block company director on whatsapp

Moneylust — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 02:41:19 +0800

An uncle kolik of mine blocked the company director on Whatsapp after the director criticised him in a meeting and tried to give him instructions.

The kolik's reasoning? Director want to give instruction should go tru the kolik's department head, not directly whatsapp him.

Kolik is confident coz he believes both department head and his section chief are sympathetic towards him.

Would yáll dare to do what my kolik did? Somemore this fella is old and would find it hard to get new job.

US preparing to sanction China banks

QUOTE

The U.S. is drafting sanctions that could cut some Chinese banks off the global financial system, in the hopes of stopping Beijing's commercial support of Russia's military production, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

QUOTE

U.S. officials said targeting banks with sanctions was an escalatory option in case diplomatic overtures fail to persuade Beijing to curb exports, the report said.
Cutting banks off from access to the dollar - used in much of global trade - is often reserved as a last resort, as such sanctions often force banks into failure.
It would also represent a particular risk for China, amid a sputtering economic recovery and growing debt.

A place I used to stay, Centrestage in Section 13 PJ, asking price for 301sf unit was RM299k in around 2015-2016, now about RM220k only.

The place really run down now, many foreigners (of the blue collar kind) hanging around.

Tenant take up option to renew

Moneylust — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 02:29:38 +0800

Dear all,

My mother has a property that she rented to a tenant (2 years+option to renew 1 year) According to the Tenancy Agreement, the rental for the option to renew year is fixed to be the same as year 1 and year 2. So if monthly rental for Year 1 and 2 is RM1600, then rental for Year 3 is also RM1600.

Problem for my mother is, the agreement was made and signed during the Covid years. This year, the average rental for a similiar property is RM2k as students return to campus (this property is in a university town).

The tenant is a good paymaster and never caused any problem and has made known her intention to take up the option to renew. However, my mother plans to reject the renewal and find another tenant who will pay RM2k.

My question is - can my mother do that? Is this a breach of the tenancy agreement? Can the tenant take my mother to tribunal/court and win? Is the tenant entitled to the standard 2 months'compensation for pre-mature termination of tenancy?

My mother don't speak English and I have to do all the work - I told her bad karma lah especially at her advanced age but she still insist on earning those extra hundreds of RM.

Seems to be more China scammers lately

Moneylust — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:26:41 +0800

Recently:
- A fren got tricked in the wine scam by a China lady he met online.
- Met an old e-hailing driver who told me he banked in money (not mani) into the bank account of a China lady who promised to pay him back. He kept rechecking his a/c but the money was never returned.

It's probably coz China's economy is now so bad and many young ppl are unemployed.

I wonder if the number of China ayam here has increased? Any experienced chiongstars know? I dunno coz ayam a chiong virgin.

Poor-perty agent ask my race, gender

Moneylust — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 22:27:58 +0800

Many /k/tards will leap to defend landlords who discriminate while they themselves claim they are being discriminated against.

My view is ... if u don't want to be a victim, don't victimise others.

So when a property agent asked my race, nationality and gender, claiming the landlord wanted to know .... I email a complaint to the website where her ad was posted with whatsapp proof.

Let's see if she can still post her ads in the website after this.

Don't want to break her ricebowl by filing a complaint with a regulating body yet.

Sekian.

Offering rent-free room

Moneylust — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:48:37 +0800

My tenancy at my current apartment is ending soon and I'm thinking of moving to a new apartment.

I am thinking of getting a 2-room unit and advertise offering one room free* without rental to a female college student or someone new to the workforce.

* Well, maybe not 100% free. Maybe she'll agree to clean and look after the place ... or cook (though the last time I ate food cooked by female student housemates ... a lifetime ago .... it was lousy) or just friendship (maybe she can teach me Mandarin or Cantonese).

Firstly, I'm thinking of an apartment in either SS15 Subang or Section 13 PJ? Do you guys think there are any student/OL there that will be interested? Or are the peoplein those places all rich and non are short of money?

Secondly, where should I post such an ad online? Are there any FB groups or classifieds sites where students hang out?

MySJ shows 'booster dose completed' but

Moneylust — Sat, 19 Mar 2022 23:56:08 +0800

Guys and gals,

I got my Sinovac booster dose via walk-in at a offsite PPV on Friday. By time I left the place, MySJ already shows 'booster dose completed'.

But until now (minutes to 12am Sunday), the frontpage of MySJ (which we usually show to guards) shows just 'fully vaccinated' instead of 'boosted' while my digital cert remains just 2 doses.

Usually how long before those details are updated?

I pray Russia take Ukraine, take out comedian soon

Moneylust — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 21:25:20 +0800

For the sake of Ukraine and their comedian hero, the West (egged on by their media) is risking nuclear war and global economic collapse. Why should 5 billion+ ppl need to suffer for the sake of 40 milllion whites and their resident comedian? So that the media can sell more papers and more clicks?

The West is really risking war by sending all those anti-tank, ant aircraft weapons to Ukraine. Even a child can tell that's a hostile act.

I hope Russia takes over Ukraine soon. No point all of us suffer for their sake.

RM1.7k 2b2b 680sf f/f or RM1.2k studio 390sf p/f?

Moneylust — Sun, 20 Feb 2022 23:28:58 +0800

/k/, pls give your thoughts:

If you are a single with monthly celery is around RM5k, will u fork out an extra RM500 to get a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom fully furnished 680sg ft apartment or just get the cheapest option of a smaller partly furnished (with fridge and washer) 390sq ft studio?

An alternative is something in the middle: a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 617sf unit (means got partition, unlike studio) with balcony.

Is paying the extra RM500 worth it for the extra space? I mean, the RM500 could be used to order good food from Grab or Panda or put into saving.

On the other hand, the extra bedroom and bathroom gives more options and breathing space.

Kesian not earning /k/ standard of RM20k

Do u think M'sia will drop all Covid restrictions

Moneylust — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 21:25:13 +0800

Do u think M'sia will eventually drop all Covid restrictions, like UK, Denmark, Sweden ... perhaps in the later part of this year? So no need show MySJ, no need mask? And the unvaccinated will finally be set free?

My parents (in another state) seems to think the restrictions will last forever ... they are very sked will not see me ever again if I don't take my booster. Up to now, I'm still not keen on booster, depsite Mar 1 deadline.

If lose fully vax status after March 1

Moneylust — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 23:17:22 +0800

Let's say first 2 doses are Sinovac but fail to take booster by end Feb.

Come March 1, MySJ status became white aka partially vax.

If take booster after March 1, what will happen to MySJ status - still partially vax, fully vax or boosted?

Top secret US unit Talon Anvil

Moneylust — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 23:28:22 +0800

QUOTE

A single top secret American strike cell launched tens of thousands of bombs and missiles against the Islamic State in Syria, but in the process of hammering a vicious enemy, the shadowy force sidestepped safeguards and repeatedly killed civilians, according to multiple current and former military and intelligence officials.

The unit was called Talon Anvil, and it worked in three shifts around the clock between 2014 and 2019, pinpointing targets for the United States’ formidable air power to hit: convoys, car bombs, command centers and squads of enemy fighters.

But people who worked with the strike cell say in the rush to destroy enemies, it circumvented rules imposed to protect noncombatants, and alarmed its partners in the military and the C.I.A. by killing people who had no role in the conflict: farmers trying to harvest, children in the street, families fleeing fighting, and villagers sheltering in buildings.

Talon Anvil was small — at times fewer than 20 people operating from anonymous rooms cluttered with flat screens — but it played an outsize role in the 112,000 bombs and missiles launched against the Islamic State, in part because it embraced a loose interpretation of the military’s rules of engagement.

“They were ruthlessly efficient and good at their jobs,” said one former Air Force intelligence officer who worked on hundreds of classified Talon Anvil missions from 2016 to 2018. “But they also made a lot of bad strikes.”

The military billed the air war against the Islamic State as the most precise and humane in military history, and said strict rules and oversight by top leaders kept civilian deaths to a minimum despite a ferocious pace of bombing. In reality, four current and former military officials say, the majority of strikes were ordered not by top leaders but by relatively low-ranking U.S. Army Delta Force commandos in Talon Anvil.

The New York Times reported last month that a Special Operations bombing run in 2019 killed dozens of women and children, and that the aftermath was concealed from the public and top military leaders. In November, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III ordered a high-level investigation into the strike, which was carried out by Talon Anvil.

But people who saw the task force operate firsthand say the 2019 strike was part of a pattern of reckless strikes that started years earlier.

Rindu zaman MCO

Moneylust — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 22:55:54 +0800

Months ago I was against MCO but I've now changed my mind.

Since MCO ended, me and koliks have to go back to ofis recently. Within one month, 2 koliks got Covidfied (separate, unrelated incidents). Somemore have to battle traffic jam every working day. Worse still, the pay cut remains.

Another thing - makan places are more langsi (got many dine-in customers mah) and fewer delivery riders these days. I had to go pick up my food tonite coz can't get delivery riders. Fuyoh, I have to wait 20 minutes even though I placed order beforehand (the owner, face like VCD seller/poorperty agent, looked at me but didn't layan). They will change their tune when there's another MCO ....

I find myself missing MCO .... now 1st Omicron death reported in UK ....
