The Tactics Elon Musk Uses to Manage His ‘Legion’ of Babies—and Their Mothers
The world’s richest man juggles more than a dozen children and ‘harem drama’ along with running his companies and advising Trump. He recently took a paternity test in a battle with one woman over money and privacy.
Story by Dana Mattioli

...

Musk often has Birchall step in to handle negotiations with the women over arrangements for the pregnancy and financial support after. The arrangements play out in similar ways for the different women, according to a document and people familiar with the matter.

Birchall was involved in acquiring the property for a compound in Austin where Musk imagined the women and his growing number of babies would all live among multiple residences, according to a person familiar with the matter. He is involved in other property deals across Musk’s different businesses.

Zilis lives in the gated community with their children, and Musk comes and goes. Musk also attempted to get Grimes to move to the compound, but she refused. Similarly, he tried to get St. Clair to spend some time in Austin “with our kid legion,” according to a text he sent her.

Elon Musk Wants Big Families. He Bought a Secret Compound for His.
As the billionaire warns of population collapse and the moral obligation to have children, he’s navigating his own complicated family.
By Kirsten GrindRyan Mac and Sheera Frenkel
Published Oct. 29, 2024 | Updated Oct. 31, 2024

On a quiet, leafy street of multimillion-dollar properties, one stands out: a 14,400-square-foot mansion that looks like a villa plucked from the hills of Tuscany and transplanted to Austin, Texas.

This is where Elon Musk, 53, the world’s richest man and perhaps the most important campaign backer of former President Donald J. Trump, has been trying to establish the cornerstone of an unusual family compound, according to four people familiar with his plans.

A proponent of in vitro fertilization, Mr. Musk believes strongly in increasing the world’s population. He has even offered his own sperm to friends and acquaintances, including the former independent vice-presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan, according to two people familiar with his offer. Ms. Shanahan turned him down.

Mr. Musk has tried to keep his own growing family a secret. The compound, and his efforts to fill it with his children, which have not been previously reported, isn’t just a personal matter for him; it is rooted in the existential anxieties that underpin his business empire.

Not sure if he really thought it through.

Water? Non- processed Food availability? Competent infrastructure going to and getting out of as well as in the compound? Support staff and the ability to maintain them for at least a generation? Enrichment and Education resources for the kiddies?
Potential competitors for resources?
Don't think there's anything there that could enable a quality of life survival there for more than 8 months.
Certainly not enough to support the decades long rebuilding after a civilization collapse - especially if there's still a lot of Texans around who might not be so well-disposed to his Elonocracy dreams of importance.

Democrats in power need to realize that and completely expose the sinister layers to the movement that include technocracy and white supremacism.

The American people need to know.

I gather it’s a PC neonazi word that captures “extreme white supremacy eugenics” in a more palatable and succinct word for the media.
