Daring Fireball: Elon Musk, Weirdo Extraordinaire

Think too about how conservative news outlets would portray any woman who had children with four different fathers (and counting). Or if Musk were a black man working for a Democratic president. (Imagine the Fox News take if Barack Obama had five children from three different mothers, like Donald Trump does.)

They’d break the record for saying “deadbeat dad” in the span of 2 minutes. They’d run specials on it. They’d have “experts” come on from the American Family Association for the Tight-Ass Club and say it’s the death of the idea of the American family.

The stereotype comparisons would never, ever stop.
