You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.

I've never seen him with any of his kids before.

And if you think about it, he's definitely a heartless bastard to do this.

And now I'm wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I've seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.

Imagine being this kid and growing up and realizing one day the only reason dad ever suddenly started giving a shit about you was because he was using you as a meat shield because some guy named Luigi killed another rich guy. I'd be devastated

The chance of that kid not becoming an entitled piece of shit is really low, but I hope he can beat the odds.

Well, his daughter already did.

Yes, definitely! Dunno about any of the other 10.

The man has 12 children. Why have i never seen any photos of him with his kids until now? Sus. Very sus.

Could be that they don't want thier kids to be as impacted by thier fame so keep them away from photographers... Nah they're probably just more worried they'd be easier to kidnap and might have to pay a ransom if they're more widly known.

Using innocents, especially the wounded and children, as shields are a staple of terrorists everywhere. There's a reason why Hamas was posting up in hospitals and schools constantly like it mattered much to Israel in the end.

All it takes for Elon is someone with better aim though. Aim small miss small.

Or someone who is happy to take out the king and the heir in one go.

Yeah it mattered so much to them that they never bombed a single school or hospital to avoid casualities! Man what humane people /s
