Some crazy sh*t to say people should have kids even though they can't afford the kids, simply so they can work in the factoires of her son/other wealthy folks
So glad I was born poor so that I didn't have a mother with such [non]values.

(1,142 posts)That faux posted the full video without their own edits?
Celerity
(54,866 posts)there is another interview where she did say those words, but I cannot find it atm.
This interview the OP references certainly looks to be one continuous live take.
The part about children starts at 2:30 or so into it.(here is the link again) https://www.foxnews.com/video/6366025711112
The X poster (Read Abolish Rent @JPHilllllll, who was posted by the DU OP) made the claim, presented no actual evidence of it, and as of now, I can find no evidence of it. They (Read Abolish Rent @JPHilllllll) just added that supposed quote to the original tweet by Art Candee @ArtCandee.

(19,382 posts)In fact, what she says is that when they started out, they lived in a garage apartment and upgraded to a garage apartment with a view and after the third child went to a house with two bedrooms. To save up, they didnt go to movies or dine out. This is what many families do.
Why the tweet added words not said is beyond me.

Nothing warped at all from her perspective, she was once "struggling" too.

And some of you don't understand violence leveled upon these folks. Some of y'all ok with enslavement? Should we just take it and go peacefully? In your servitude will you still feel morality superior?

It doesn't change the fact that momma musk is a racist. Or that she lords over the rest of us.
Including bootlicking, servile, scum.
