Not to be a spoil sport but rating how good it bad ANY genetic material is always feels icky to me. If we want to fully move away from eugenics, we need to stop its narrative even in case of garbage humans like musk, too.

Inbreeding usually returns pretty 'icky' results as far as genetic damage is concerned.

I respect your position but have to disagree.

Trump, Musk ,and probably most of their circle come from families that have a strong inclination towards psychopathy. While there surely are ecological causes for this the probability of genetic causes supporting this are high.

Capitalism and before that feudalism has positively selected psychopaths for centuries. It’s time we stopped breeding people incapable of empathy.

Valid. Musk is garbage, his DNA has nothing to do with it & pivots from the main point; garbage people like him deserve no pity.
