How hard is it too change your name in the US? In France he wouldn't even be able to officially name them like this.

Mind you, if this means 40K is prophetic, it certainly explains why the Ad Mech are so utterly shit at technology. Because just like Elmu, no need to invent anything, just slap your name on someone else’s idea and claim “all me own work, Guv”.

I didn't think Æ was an official letter in any language, because it is just a ligature of AE and these don't normally become standard letters* as they are just movable-type printing-press shortcuts. It is functionally identical to AE unless you want to save time when printing a page by using a single combined Æ typepiece. However, it turns out most Scandinavian languages and Old English include Æ as a distinct vowel. So theoretically there are some Icelandic names you couldn't legally use. *ß being a notable exception. |

I thought that was a parody. There must be some kind of child neglect angle there.

Given that he claims he is always at work and has about a dozen kids, that neglect angle is more of a full circle.

Yeah, Musk isn't present in any of his children's lives. IIRC, and I don't have a source for this off hand, but he believes it's his duty to have as many kids as possible to "outbreed the poors" or something.

I think he would work well as a cautionary tale, not sure if he needs to be in their lives for that.

I don’t think it’s a thing about poors, just a belief that people should have as many kids as possible because the birth rates are too low. He’s complained about that in the past. Plus I think there’s a whole breeding kink thing that him and also his dad have iirc. |

Birth rates are low because no fucker can afford kids, thanks to economic policies of sending wealth upwards and repressing wages below the rate of inflation.

Latin characters with diacritics are (sorta) fine in most Anglophone countries' registrars, I think - because they'll just refuse to use them. My wife's name is Yagmur on all UK documents for instance, rather than the correct Yağmur. My friend Synnøve is similarly always rendered Synnove. I don't think you can even get an umlaut. My son specifically has a Turkish name with no diacritics for this reason. |

You can get an umlaut. Most supermarket will carry oh wait I’m thinking of a kumquat.
