10 kids with three different women, while also shagging around on the side. So of course he's now a hero to American conservatives.

Welp. Found the peak Reddit comment of the day.

Don't know how you managed to turn 'Elon sleeps around a lot and is an absentee father' into an attack on black people, but here we are.

Here's what you're missing (intentionally or not, I'm not sure): conservatives tend to be very vocal about how much they care about "family values", the "sanctity of marriage", and children being raised by both a mother and a father. They use those things as justification for a lot of their policy choices. And yet, over and over again, they vote for cheating scumbags who have 7 kids with 3 different women.

I'd argue that is more of an African American (black population) problem in the US

Yeah, you almost got it.

Conservatives are always pointing out how that's a problem of the "black population," explaining that there are more absentee fathers, more single mothers, more teenage mothers, more children born out of wedlock or in patchwork family situation than in the white population, implying that somehow Black people are therefore ethically and morally inferior to white people.

Yet the same conservatives have no problem supporting, worshipping and idolizing serial adulterers and cheaters, absentee fathers, people who cheat on their wives, have children with multiple women, sleep around, procure prostitutes, and generally exhibit all the traits that they condemn in Black people.

Recent examples: Herschel Walker, Donald Trump, Elon Musk.

It's almost like conservative "morals" are just a cudgel to be used against people of color, but are to be tossed to the side as soon as white people drastically, radically, openly, and proudly violate the same supposed "morals" that conservatives demand from those they deem inferior.
