He claims it isn’t true, but they did a $250k settlement with her. Hmmm.
Wait... How much does a horse cost?
You can get one for free if you want. Theres still wild horse populations.
But if you want, you can spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions on a horse. You could also probably get one for a few hundred but that one is already on its way to a glue factory.
There are very, very few wild horses, and they're pretty much untamable. But there are TONS of feral horses with populations growing out of control and governments at a loss for what to do about it
Call McDonald's
Time to bring the McRib back
What's the difference between a wild and a feral horse? Isn't going feral just kinda like going back to being a wild animal?
Yes, but it comes from a domesticated genetic line. Imagine if a Pug or Chihuahua went feral. It wouldn't exactly be the same as the original wolf-like starting point.
It's the same with horses. After generations of being bred by humans for specific traits, they're very different than the original wild population. They're probably also easier to re-domesticate than wild horses.

What? Off of BLM land or something? No one is going to let you steal wild horses off their land I suspect.
Surely I can't just go grab a bunch of wild animals anymore -- it's not 1850

Ah, she opted for the cash equivalent.
Boarding, farrier, vet, plus the mental and emotional toll of owning a 1000lb toddler that exhibits an inverse correlation of majestic beauty and intelligence. God, I love horses lol.
Owning a horse is more expensive monthly than having a drug addiction tbh.
I dated a girl who had two horses and she was shaving every expense to keep her horses well where she was selling plasma. After noping out that relationship after a month, my friends explained to me the whole "Horse Girl" stereotype and every single one matched.
Settlements are always necessarily dispositive of the truth. Sometimes it makes sense to just pay a settlement fee than to go through litigation if you expect your attorney fees to be greater than the settlement cost. Also it's not uncommon for settlements agreements to not confirm allegations so as to not benefit future cases against the defendant.
“My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win,” he wrote. “We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”
Either he's full of shit, he did after a horse for sex or both.
Well. We know he's full of shit, but it can be more than one.

Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.
Or it happened and he'd have lost.
I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, offering her heroin for sex, or giving her the financial liability of taking care of an equine in exchange for 10-20 minutes of disappointment.
He was offering to play a game of 1-on-1 basketball with special rules in her driveway.

Yeah, I remember when this was first reported in 2022.
I was thinking the same thing. My second thought was "AGAIN??"
At this point I just imagine Elon starting every conversation with a woman as "do you like horses? Because I have an offer for you"

Aren’t horses expensive as fuck to keep?
He is a car salesman after all. The horse is free but if she wants the stable and upkeep payments to be covered, she'll have to go for a longer deal
“I’ll even give you free undercoating on your new horse if you let me do butt stuff too.”
And that's before you spring for shoes, armor, lance, all that shit.
Horse people don't care
Horse people is not the preferred nomenclature. Centaur, please.

No, see, the real mistake he made was being a cheapskate because she definitely had a price, and he thought it was too much. The richest man on earth wanted some ez pz ass and was too cheap to get it.
So she gets a $250k settlement and he looks like a pervert. Real smart man there.
The morale, to me, is that you don't fucking sexually harass your employees, and if you do, you better fucking be ready to pay the consequences.
Moral*
maybe it's what pumps him up
All the best men have to pay for sex
He’s just looking for a stable relationship.
This isn't even a horse joke- he wants brood mares. That's why he has 11 children. He's 100% in on the whole "Great Replacement" lie.
I think he has some kind of "positive eugenics" bullshit and it aligns with his narcissism where he thinks he and his genes are special. If he believed in "great replacement" and acted on it earnestly he'd give his workers time to leave work and have kids.
Its clear like he saw "humans on mars" as catnip for futurists who will give him money he sees "great replacement" as catnip for racists who will protect his money pile from taxes.

How the fuck did he get a horse on the flight in the first place?
It's a big plane I assume. You have to see the horse I got my wife. I didn't have real horse money. But this one changes colors in warm water or cold water. It's awesome 😎.

“No no, it’s all a big misunderstanding! I offered her the horse to have sex with! Who would exchange a horse for a woman? Do you know how expensive horses are?” - musk, probably
I'm going to be so happy to see his death caused by a likely drug overdose. Not because I take joy in his death, but we'll finally be rid of having to hear about his stupidity and drama every day.
Not because I take joy in his death
Uh, yeah me neither...
He had a bunch of horses that came with some land he bought he was trying to get rid of - jeeze
A ride for a ride.
We've already established that. Now we're just haggling about the price.
Imagine being so rich out-of-touch that you think offering someone something that will cost them a shitload of money to keep in exchange for sex will work with non-rich people.

Edit 2: Read on for some shenanigans
But the post says "horse" not "house". You know, like the neigh-type of thing.
🐴🤦♂️
I will leave my post as an acknowledgment of my wine based mistakes.
On the other hand though... It just makes things worse by, like, several orders of magnitude.
Edit; What's worse is that I read the whole horse article before, set in my mind what a cunt he was for offering something he had an excess of (other than money, obviously), then promptly got outraged that he only offered a house.
Kids, alcohol is a powerful drug.
