> Can somebody tell him to keep his private affairs to his bedroom?

He can make all the sex jokes he wants if he swears off politics.

> someone who should be a moral compass and source of conscience

What? Why? What does a person being a “source of conscience” even mean?

Elon is a jobs creator and the richest man in the world, so he's someone to look up to and emulate. He shouldn't act like an incel on a Mtn Dew bender.

I don't agree that being a "jobs creator" or a very wealthy person means anything about whether or not people should look up to or emulate them. It only means they're wealthy, not admirable.

In commerce and engineering, yes.

In morality? No.

Why should anyone’s humour be policed when it’s about something as innocuous as sex?

Find better role models.

Pick one that's dead a long time and you won't have to worry so much about their present / future actions.

as much as i despise Elon i really hate foisting this responsibility of being a model for kids on him and other celebrities/"celebrities"

Unfortunately that's the reality. Kids see what they see.
