    Elon Musk, father of 14 children was basically never seen with his kids until a CEO was shot. Now he always travels with at least one portable meat shield.

      Father of 14 known children. The down low is apparently he pays women one million dollars to bear his child and she has to sign a non-disclosure agreement that she won’t tell people it is his baby.

      He is on record saying he wants to make a legion. That is around five thousand babies. He is one of the richest men in the world so this is within his reach. I am going to go throw up now.

        A million dollars? It’s sad those women don’t even realize what a paltry sum of money that is. You become a billionaires concubine, and all you get is enough money to pay for a house in a low cost area, and food/medical bills/clothes/school/activities for like maybe five years at most, then you get to find a job and become a single mother that works full time. And you better be careful with your choice of housing, taxes are due every year

          How crazy expensive is america? One million is like thirty years of minimum wage salary before taxes in Spain. I bet I could manage to retire at 45 with that kind of money.

            Highly depends on area. $1 million is about 16 years of the median wage. It can be hard to survive on the median in some cities, but can be OK in rural or extremely economically depressed cities/towns. I don’t think federal minimum wage is enough to survive anywhere without assistance.

            This person is greatly exaggerating. I bought a house in central Illinois with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for $130k

            Also, just having a million dollars is a big step up
