I think it's a rich people thing where the kids are raised by the help.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I think it is a douche thing where a person clearly loves to spread his seed far and wide but is uninterested in his offspring.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah, I think it's the kind of thing where he thinks a kid's role is to build up the father's ego in various ways. Babies are notorious for not being interested in catering to the egos of anyone, no matter how much money or how many twitter followers they have, so he's going to wait until they can properly appreciate what a great man he is.

Not mutually exclusive.

Another possibility is that he thinks that changing nappies and enduring tantrums are beneath him.

Sure but yours alone seemed... charitable.

Yeah there are a few explanations, all point to Musk being a major douche.

Sadly, I have met a few fathers like him.  They start taking care of their kids when they near their preteen/teenage years.  By then, it's often too late.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Someone should write a song about fatherly neglect. Could be a hit.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

That's kind of his views on things, yes.

Is the new lady Canadian? Grimes & miss Wilson both are. He has a thing for our women.

He is just another insecure old guy who needs to be with younger women.

There seem to be contradictory reports.

QuoteElon Musk withdraws $44bn bid to buy Twitter after weeks of high drama

World's richest man had reached a deal to purchase shares of the social media app for $54.20 apiece on 25 April

It seems nuts to buy a company at that valuation considering what has happened since. The breakup fee is just $1 billion without cause. If they would accept $30 billion in the current market (current market cap is $28 billion and that is probably inflated by Elon Musk buyout hopes), it would be lighting money on fire to pay $44 billion.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
