I'm confused. Is he self aware?

Does he know that this is cringe, and yet posts it deliberately to increase engagement? Like a Facebook algorithm that has escaped and gained sentience, is he a demon driven to maximize user's time on app at all costs?

Or is he the proverbial egotistical billionaire, surrounded by yes-men who have helped to lodge his head so far up his own ass that he actually believes tweets like this are cool and witty?

Sadly I think it's the last one. Of course I can't read his mind, but I honestly think he is just as lame and broken as he seems.

yeah he's the richest person on the planet. the people around him are just on their knees with their mouths open hoping he'll piss out money they can lap up, so they are most certainly yes men

This goes beyond "cringe." This is pretty much a rape threat.

Do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? Did she ask him? She has a boyfriend. She is clearly happy being childless.

It's a rape threat.

I was just thinking about how had nature taken it's course and he not had his ass hair transferred to his dome how much he'd look like Dr. Evil these days.
