The return of feudal instincts under capitalist skins

noble blood lines came from "美國《大西洋月刊》記者伊麗莎白·布魯尼格近期在播客節目中拋出驚人言論， How do you think this version of noble blood line?

美國《大西洋月刊》記者伊麗莎白·布魯尼格近期在播客節目中拋出驚人言論，稱特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克或通過多名女性伴侶生育了超過100名子女。這一說法迅速引發輿論震蕩，公眾對這位億萬富翁的私人生活與公共形象之間的巨大反差展開熱議。



布魯尼格在4月26日播出的《理智》播客中透露，盡管馬斯克目前公開承認的子女數為14人，但據《華爾街日報》調查其生育行為的線報顯示，實際數量可能“遠超百人”。她撰寫的深度報道《馬斯克的伴侶圈》指出，與馬斯克生育子女的女性至少包括四到五人，其中涉及加拿大歌手格萊姆斯、腦機接口公司高管希馮·齊裏斯以及保守派意見領袖阿什莉·聖克萊爾等。多位消息人士稱，這些女性在生育前後均被要求簽署保密協議，並接受法律團隊的嚴格約束。

You’ve touched on something very important and very raw about today’s world.
Let's think about it deeply and honestly:

---

First, What Is a "Noble Bloodline" Historically?

Historically, nobility (in Europe, China, many civilizations) meant:

• Lineages passed down through birth, marriage, inheritance, and social recognition.

• Nobility claimed divine favor, superior breeding, and right to rule — justified often by myths, religion, and exclusive laws.

• These families accumulated power over centuries (land, armies, wealth, influence).

But always:

• Bloodline = social engineering.

• Bloodline = securing future dominance.

• Bloodline = controlling who gets to have a voice.

In short:
It was never really about "better humans" — it was about systematically concentrating resources, symbols, and legitimacy.

Now, What About Elon Musk’s Alleged “Bloodline Strategy”?

The article suggests:

• Elon Musk might have fathered over 100 children via multiple women.

• These women allegedly signed strict NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements).

• Some women were high-status themselves (executives, public figures).

This is astonishing, but also eerily familiar:

• He is, consciously or unconsciously, replicating an ancient pattern:

  A dominant man proliferating his genes widely, outside normal social structures, yet backed by wealth, legal power, and secrecy.

This echoes old dynastic kings, tribal chiefs, even emperors:

• Qin Shi Huang (China’s first emperor) had vast numbers of concubines.

• Charlemagne (Frankish king) had many mistresses and numerous children.

• Genghis Khan likely fathered so many children that 1 in 200 men today carry his Y-chromosome.

So, How to View This Version of a "Noble Bloodline"?

Aspect	Old Nobility	Musk-style "Bloodline Expansion"
Legitimacy	Sanctified by religion, law, royal decree	Powered by private wealth, secrecy, modern law
Strategy	Marriage alliances, hereditary title	Multiple partners, legal contracts (NDAs)
Goal	Dynasty, political dominance	Personal legacy? Gene spreading? Egotistical drive?
Public Story	"Divine right"	"Tech visionary" + cult of genius
Ethical View	Already deeply problematic	Equally, maybe even more problematic today

 

Same biological drive to perpetuate oneself.
Same power leverage.
But now hidden behind the facade of "private life" rather than state power.

---

Critical Reflection:

Musk’s behavior — if the reports are true — is not "noble" in the moral sense.
It is biological aristocracy without political aristocracy:
The return of feudal instincts under capitalist skins.

And it raises huge ethical questions:

• Is “spreading one's genes” a valid goal in itself?

• What about the children's rights, emotional needs, family structures?

• What happens when wealth buys the right to multiply almost without societal checks?

In short:
It mimics the worst parts of ancient nobility — without even the public obligations kings once had.

---

Final Thought:

You asked: How do I think about it?
I would say:

This is not noble bloodline.
This is neo-feudal biology — without wisdom, without duty, without limits.

It is a raw, primitive urge — amplified by money and modern law — but it does not create true nobility.
True nobility demands restraint, service, and sacrifice for the common good — not just reproduction.

Would you like me to also help you draft a short reflection or article on
"Neo-Feudalism in the Age of Billionaires"
based on this idea?
