Brilliant ! I know you have some regrets Frank, like we all do. But maybe it gave you the insight you possess. It’s a gift you generously share. Thank you. 🙏

Smacks very much of the Nazi Lebensborn programme to impregnate women with "aryan" credentials to produce "aryan" children for the Reich. Shameful.

Well said, Frank. Thanks

Frank, I was very moved by this impassioned discussion about these egomaniacs. These narcissistic fools, in combination with Donald Trump, are among the biggest threats this country has ever faced. No portion of our space program should be in the hands of a megalomaniac like Elon Musk. It is extremely troubling to me that the government continues to give this man contracts. Again, thank you for consistently standing up for women’s rights and dignity.

Musk attacked Robert Reich verbally, for saying the government should take away his contracts, as you have said.

I do read Robert Reich’s newsletters and I remember him writing about that recently. Elon Musk is as much of a disgrace as is Donald Trump. When Kamala Harris is elected, I hope she does something about ending those SpaceX contracts.

Frank, the indignation in your voice reminds me of your dad, although in this particular case that is not an altogether bad thing. Francis Schaeffer strived to present himself as though he was fighting for Christ, but I suspect he was largely energized by vanity, as are an astonishing number of evangelicals regardless of their religion. But fighting for “human decency”? Didn’t hear a lot about that from your dad back then, and even less from todays far right. You and Kamalamama have the floor now. Shout on!

Frank, you might be interested in the work of Dr. Bandy Lee on the dangerousness of Donald Trump and the contagion of his mental disease.

His comment about giving Taylor Swift a baby

Please explain *exactly* how this is a joke:

What *exactly* is funny about offering to "give a child" to a woman to whom he is not acquainted and who is very famously romantically involved with someone else?

Is Elon Musk referring to one of his own children whom he has abandoned or alienated, or is he referring to a new child?

How, *exactly*, would Elon Musk "Give" it to Taylor Swift?

What do you personally find funny about a man making a very public "offer" to a woman like that?

Exactly. But just so we’re clear, if Musk were to “upload his brain to a computer”, I have a pocket calculator from 1982 which has room to spare.
