In reply to the discussion: Elon Musk's mom: "The poor should have kids so my son's factories have workers!" [View all]jimfields33
(19,330 posts)52. There is no mention of factories.
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 didnt go to movies or dine out. This is what many families do.
Why the tweet added words not said is beyond me.

OP
How many babies did she have? Because we would've been a lot better off with one less.

She offers a perfect example of the level of complete contempt she has for her fellow Americans.

Elon is dangerous, he will be given access all due to his ability to pay to play.

I saw no cut-aways/editing in it, but if you can find a clip that shows her saying those words, please post it. Perhaps
