Elon Musk's mom: "The poor should have kids so my son's factories have workers!"



https://www.reddit.com/r/MurderedByWords/comments/1hfirlo/the_poor_should_have_kids_so_my_sons_factories/

====
Some crazy sh*t to say people should have kids even though they can't afford the kids, simply so they can work in the factoires of her son/other wealthy folks

So glad I was born poor so that I didn't have a mother with such [non]values.

there is another interview where she did say those words, but I cannot find it atm.

This interview the OP references certainly looks to be one continuous live take.

The part about children starts at 2:30 or so into it.(here is the link again) https://www.foxnews.com/video/6366025711112

The X poster (Read Abolish Rent @JPHilllllll, who was posted by the DU OP) made the claim, presented no actual evidence of it, and as of now, I can find no evidence of it. They (Read Abolish Rent @JPHilllllll) just added that supposed quote to the original tweet by Art Candee @ArtCandee.

In fact, what she says is that when they started out, they lived in a garage apartment and upgraded to a garage apartment with a view and after the third child went to a house with two bedrooms. To save up, they didn’t go to movies or dine out. This is what many families do.

Why the tweet added words not said is beyond me.

And that her son wants to save the planet.

Nothing warped at all from her perspective, she was once "struggling" too.

She treats her 53 year old son like a child who needs to be protected. Her 53 year old son acts behaves like a child. She really shouldn't be handing out parental advice.

Lots of money in mineral extraction, where a white owner, say of an emerald mine, gets filthy rich off black miners working at subsistence-level wages. It isn’t a racket. It’s a lifestyle, the “Natural Order of Things.”

When a wealthy person could just own other people and make them do what they want.

And some of you don't understand violence leveled upon these folks. Some of y'all ok with enslavement? Should we just take it and go peacefully? In your servitude will you still feel morality superior?
