Musk's Contradiction: Right-Wing Rhetoric, Left-Wing Living?
How groupthink has blinded conservatives to the message of Musk's behaviour
Elon Musk is one of the most influential figures of our time. He warns about population collapse, champions free speech, and fights against woke ideology. He tells men to have children, to build legacies, and to resist the declining birth rates that threaten civilization.
On the surface, this seems like a powerful message—one that traditionalists and those who value strong families might rally behind.
But there’s a glaring contradiction that too many are afraid to address: Musk’s own approach to fatherhood mirrors the very “alternative family structures” that the left has worked to normalize for years.
This isn’t about hating Elon Musk. Polarized narratives using emotionality to demand you “take a side” are more harmful than helpful.
It’s about the cultural doublethink being demanded of us—where we are expected to fight for strong, stable families while ignoring the fact that one of our most prominent figures is modeling something else entirely.
If legacy matters, then structure matters.
A Pro-Family Message with a Chaotic Personal Life
Musk has 13 children with four different women. Some of these relationships ended in bitter disputes. Some of his children are estranged from him. One even legally disowned him.
Yet Musk continues to be held up as an example of a man fighting for the family and the future of civilization.
This isn’t about moralizing his personal life. It’s about recognizing that fatherhood is more than just reproduction. A true legacy isn’t measured by how many children a man sires—but by how well he raises them, how stable their lives are, and what kind of future they inherit.
Musk has undoubtedly succeeded in drawing attention to the population crisis, but his own model of fatherhood raises an uncomfortable question:
Are we really fighting for the return of strong, multi-generational families—or are we justifying a fragmented model of fatherhood under the guise of “building a dynasty”?
The Left’s Long War on Family Structure
For decades, left-wing ideologues have pushed to erase the concept of the nuclear family.
• Public schools across North America removed the words “mother” and “father” from classroom materials, arguing that traditional families were a privileged norm that excluded other structures.
• Radical academics promoted the idea that all family arrangements—single mothers, polyamorous households, fatherless homes—should be considered equally valid.
• The notion of strong fathers leading stable families was framed as outdated, oppressive, or even patriarchal.
The justification? To accommodate and legitimize “alternative” family structures.
And here’s where the contradiction becomes impossible to ignore: Musk’s personal life perfectly fits this left-wing redefinition of family.
The very people who claim to fight for tradition and stability are now defending a model of fatherhood that the left has spent decades conditioning us to accept.
What Kind of Legacy Are We Building?
Musk is not just a billionaire—he is a cultural icon. Young men look up to him. If they follow his lead, will we see the return of strong fathers—or the rise of wealthy, disconnected patriarchs with scattered children across multiple households?
Does anyone else see similarities between the story of masculinity promoted by creeps like Andrew Tate? I remember when I first found this clip of Tate literally convincing young men, who believe in the family unit, that it’s more natural for them to be with as many women as possible. How far off is what he’s promoting from Elon Musk’s lifestyle?
The real solution to the population crisis is not just having more children. It is raising them in strong, stable families that pass down values, wisdom, and discipline through generations.
And much of that needs to come from a healthy sense of masculinity grounded in devotion. Tate and Musk have both created circumstances that disrupt the opportunity to channel their masculine power into devotion to one woman and the family she bears.
A father’s role is not just to create life but to cultivate it.
Musk has taken the first step. But those who truly care about the future of families must take the next one.
If we don’t culturally define the family ideal now, we will have nothing to rely on when population dwindles and family legacies are more precious than ever.
The Danger of Cognitive Dissonance
The culture war is about more than just ideology. It is about who we become in practice.
If we reject the left’s attacks on the nuclear family, then we must also reject models of fatherhood that resemble their ideology in practice.
This doesn’t mean condemning Musk or ignoring his contributions. It means being honest about what true fatherhood demands.
If we fail to hold the line on what a legacy truly is, we risk falling into the same trap the left set for us long ago:
A world where “family” means anything—and therefore, nothing at all.
Once upon a time, before Christianity was imposed by Rome, in tribal times, as still existed in Africa before the west came looking for minerals and riches, it appears tribes looked after their own, there were probably variations, The earliest tribes were simply extended family groups, so the children would be well cared for, as the groups got bigger rules probably changed a little, as they do amongst humans, and it was pretty common in many parts of the world for a stronger, kinder man to have several wives, as long as he could feed them all. This was accepted by the women, because one usually accepts what one has been conditioned to accept. As time went on and Europe invaded Africa, in many parts destroying tribal life, imposing new rules, that over time morphed into the African current male approach to women and children, which was in far too many cases, to have as many children as possible, to prove you're a 'man' then effing off back to the mines to earn money so you could buy smart clothes, and plenty to drink in your time off. That's what happened in South Africa, where it's still the case that many black men make as many babies and have as many girl friends as possible. There are still pockets of the old tribal life in existence, where the idea of responsibility still holds, but they are few.
In a part of South America, somewhere in the Amazon basin, there's a tribe of mixed native American and white ancestry, they have a belief structure regarding 'family' that goes like this... there is complete freedom for young people to have sex, thought they are tod thy mustn't make babies before marriage. However, should a young maiden become with child, then the blame is laid on the fresh water dolphin, who can, they say take human shape and the responsibility for the child is taken by the whole village, it's a rather 'special' child. Problem solved
Humanity has the capacity to 'invent' just about anything, be it something material or a philosophy, the choice is always ours.
In our modern world and onwards, humanity will have, in order for society not to collapse or become 'robotic', to formulate a better way of protecting children from the likes of irresponsible parenting, brainwashing schooling, propagandising, controlling governments, banks and corporations, whilst letting the kids be themselves that they can grow up to become wholehearted, centred , well balanced, joyful adults.
Obviously there's a lot more to be said on this topic, but for now I thought I'd throw in a little history as I observed it in Africa, and read about in other places.
