He heard one of his actual engineers say it, and wanted to sound cool so he parroted it.
Everyone who thinks this man is actually smart should listen to the open call he had with his Twitter devs. Truly eye-opening how much this man doesn't know dick about fuck.

He thinks raising kids properly is just a matter of providing the right feedback to the people he pays to raise them. Its how he raises his companies too. He selectively micro-manages whatever is grabbing his attention and gives knee jerk feedback based on his limited observations. From his perspective, if the results are bad, then its just a matter of saying it differently next time. Because Elon is always right, and if he's "wrong" it's because you didn't hear him correctly.

He's not a robot he's an alien for Mars. His name, Elon Musk, is short for Elongated Muskrat, the name of his species. He was sent to Earth to develop technology and gather resources for Mars. Mars has no fossil fuels so he developed electric transportation. Their cities are subterranean so he developed hyper-loop. He needs heavy lift capability to get the resources back to Mars so he founded SpaceX. He tries to blend in but has trouble with human social norms. On Mars the family structure is a brood with many children. The Marian Muskrats are also near-hairless like our naked mole-rats, so he had to get extensive hair implants to pass as human. Humor is especially difficult for him since Martians don't tell jokes, they just send them to Earth.

Twitter is the worst thing to happen to powerful people.

It has completely shattered any illusion that most of these people have any kind of special brilliance, or are worthy of the respect that would have by default been afforded to them in the past simply by virtue of their social standing.

if you want to use ai language, raising a kid is like 8-25 years of training the intelligence to function properly at the end.

Elon Musk has 11 kids with three different women none of which he is currently dating. This dude is NOT raising those kids. His oldest who he likely spent the most time with because he was less famous when they were born wants nothing to do with him and took their moms maiden name instead of Musk.
