The one major issue with many people like Elon, and I am referring to white supremacists who believe that genes are the only thing that matters, is they legitimately believe that nothing else other than what your biological parents matters. People like this are also obsessed with sci-fi series like Dune and Star Wars where bloodlines are literally all what is needed to make someone ascend to greatness.

This is why they are also shit fathers. Elon probably has never known what his childrens' personal lives were like and does not care. The most he would do is provide the finances needed for education and living and nothing more. It is no wonder why many of his kids can't stand him. It isn't just that he treats them coldly but that they never had any real opportunity to bond with one another.

Same thing with Donald Trump and his kids. His relationship with his own sons is transactional and he raised them to trust no one, not even him. I used to wonder how in times past noble and/or royal siblings and children would rise up against and usurp their power or kill one another. It started to make sense after this. Even they didn't really think of each other as one family that should stick through thick and thin together, but as rivals who sometimes help each other and sometimes fuck one another over.
