The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:
A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”
As it turns out, Elon Musk had a bunch of farms + horses from all the land he bought in the 2022-era. Elon Musk was actively trying to get rid of horses on his new property.
Its not that Elon Musk was going to "buy her a horse". He had tons of spare horses and was looking to dump them onto someone else.
Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.
I don't think it's validation in the sense we normies felt. For regular, sane men it's more of a fitting in and being desirable kind of validation, women do the same in that age.
For him and other powerful people (but also some regular men) it's a power thing. Many powerful people are narcissists, and they live constantly under the dissonance of illusion of grandeur and inferiority complex. Essentially forcing their will onto others is a way to mitigate the latter.
Okay, so, how does this work? The horse bit, I mean. Does she want a horse, or was this just a gesture where the brain was off and the penis is at the wheel? Even if she wants a horse, they are kinda high maintenance. Does the horse deal come with a stable, and adjacent home? What about food and care for the duration of the horse's life? Someone to tend to the horse while she is working? What about the taxes on the land that this sits on? Does she get the land too? Is the land going to be in a geographical area that she wants? Good access to nearby towns, power, water, sewage, municipal trash services? Good school district? Who is paying for the utilities for this land/home? Good access to emergency services? Low crime, pollution, risk of natural disasters? I could go on.
I mean there's a lot involved when you're being asked for a handy. Gotta make sure you get all the details!
