Elon Musk's babies: a game-theoretic analysis. TLDR: Δf > m_iC Let me take you through the stunningly rational decision-making of Elon Musk in the domain of breeding as he rolled through and optimized the baby-making from 4 different baby receptacles (aka woman) with engineering considerations around egg expiry, future productivity and inter-child competitiveness in a global economy. What's most stunning is that despite the multi-dimensionality of the decision-making here, Elon got it just right👌. 1. The safe bet. Justine. This is a family of 6 children made at a time when Elon was indeed a very successful man, but not THE richest man in the world. Here, the number of children might mislead you into thinking that this was enough and that he should stop there, but in modernity one must always consider the teenage years sterilization possibility, as Vivian revealed herself to be a transgender. We're down to 5 reproductive entities, with a lot of autism that's kindof a shot in the dark in terms of whether they'll become billionaires or gamer-incels. Nevertheless, Elon relentlessly inseminated to maximize the productivity of Justine but also found himself with a contentious divorce that robbed him of being the father he always wanted to be; I don't know the precise arrangement, but we see none of those kids paraded around by Elon, so it's safe to assume he was denied the possibility of being the father he wanted to be. Here's one thing you can learn from those years of Elon Musk: when you're fucking a safe bet, keep working on yourself, increase your value in ways that she cannot seize through courts. Become a better man, so in case she drops you at egg expiry you can run away with something. You won't run away with your home, the cash in your bank account, or stocks. But you can run away with goodwill, your intelligence, and your elevation in the social community. So, what do you do when the law and your ex impede on your ability to be a father? You spam sperm into other women to dilute the importance of your ex in your life. Enter Grimes. 2. The wildcard. Grimes. This is a vagabond-artist family of three privileged kids who will end up complaining about capitalism when they're teenagers. Elon here was interested in diversifying his portfolio - he has the luxury to, so why not? This is Elon's alchemy experiment with the universe. The mixing of homeless-artistic-creativity alongside top-level male engineering intelligence. The arrangement with the children is more fit to what Elon wanted, which might be a reflection of the fact that he negotiated this arrangement with Grimes beforehand. Coming from a bad experience of co-parenting, Elon was probably more prepared. He had Grimes produce 3 babies which is pretty much as many as you can squeeze out of this mental type. The reason why you see Elon putting so much effort and hope in Lil X is that to him, he is the expression of the mix of genes that Elon wanted to attempt in this frankensteinish breeding operation: he sees a big future for Lil X because he is HIS; he got to father him, impact his education more than other kids of his, and he is also the mix of genes he took the risk of fucking Grimes for. What's to learn from these years of Elon is you have to give up on the idea that life is a fixed thing. You can't control family courts, you can't control women in 2025, so you might as well just experiment and play while engaging in reproduction. You can't score a goal if you don't take the shot. The vagabond-artist female will give you that crazy sex, but she can't stay in place for long. She will pop out the babies until her fleeting nature calls her back to the streets. Too bad, despite being perfectly cared for in her co-living arrangement with Elon, she ran away, and unfortunately in this case, did not fully disappear. That's where Elon went full insemination unto his employee (those can't run). 3. Arabian nights. The employee. Shivon Zilis. This is a family of 3 kids produced by Elon in absolute beast-mode, IVF, I-pay-I-fuck style. This type of arrangement is really only available to the rich, but you can reproduce the same at a smaller scale in your home where you pay your wife a small salary for handling some duties in your businesses. Here, Elon was emotionally recovering from the megalomaniacal experiment of Grimes, and so he went for a safe choice: some scientist that he named CEO of Neuralink. At least if you're going to lose money unto a brain-machine interface that will at best kill you, at worse play some publicity repeatedly within your mind while maintaining you alive, you might as well pop out a couple babies in the process. It's not clear the involvement of Elon in a relationship with the children but based on the absence of public traces and the fact that in those years, Elon was talking publicly of having made his own school for his children with special educational practices, I would assume that those may be children with whom Elon has been let to be the father he wanted to be (it helps when you pay the ex). What's to learn from this Elon family is: do not hesitate to combine your risky ventures. Neuralink will certainly suck ass, but these children will always be viewed in the positive by Elon. If some of your ventures are long shots, combine them and soften your risk curve by inseminating the CEO. 4. Dark Elon rises. The Kazharian King's temptation. The e-whore. Ashley St. Clair. If you've ever been gardening tomatoes, you know there's this moment in the fall where the plant will throw a desperate offshoot with a ridiculously poorly nourished branch and attempt to produce a last few flowers, just in case a sudden gain of energy was to be available for it to produce a few last tomatoes. Elon is 53 now and is entering the "does it have boobs" phase of human reproduction. Careful, this is the moment of life where you can end up unknowingly with a trans in bed, talk to @Cernovich for details. No rational considerations will be allowed in this section. Understand that the human mind eventually reverts and goes back to infancy-levels of retardation. Old men with class know how to keep shut, but boiling inside is a quantum background of purely dick-based thoughts. In this phase of reproduction, spray-and-pray dominates the male's decisions. Consider this: while a female represents one generation of reproduction, a talented male will successfully chain up 2-3 generations of reproduction easily. Ashley St. Claire is between 26 and 31, she is from a different generation than Elon Musk. If you are a man of any degree of wealth, you do want to inseminate a few generations ahead of you, just in case periodicity would make it such that a kid from G3 happens to have a better shot at life than all your kids you had produced in G1 (think war for instance, eliminating most males of a given generation but few of the younger ones). Ideally, you want to spread your semen over a prime number of generation, something like 3, 5, 7 or 11, just in case some rhythmical phenomenon that you don't know of was to fuck you up. What's to learn from these years of Elon's life is that no matter how much life hits you, you always can use that last bit of energy to make sure you squeeze the most out of existence. It's never done until you're done. So, all in all, did Elon maximize his evolutionary fitness? Of course he did. None of these children will be an impediment to the others. They'll all at least be relatively well-off compared to the average human out there. So yes, each child will add to Elon's fitness (unless they get transed by Canada). That's the essence of the formula above, Δf > m_iC. The gain in fitness for each supplementary child you get (Δf) is greater than the mean of the inter-competitive interference that these children will experience (m_iC). If your children have to bitterly fight for a small inheritance, then there are situations where m_iC is big. But as, long as your children are all at least average or better than average (in a world where the average survives and reproduces), then Δf prevails.
