You should ask Microsoft about it. :)

Version 8.29.50 of skypeforlinux still works without elogind,
so you may chose to downgrade to it.

I've had the same symptom and I also do not have elogind installed.  If 
elogind is necessary, shouldn't it be specified in the ebuild as a dependency?  

Since I'm running console-kit, but not elogind, or systemd, couldn't skype be 
made to work with that instead?

For some reasons 8.30.x relies on elogind. Just emerge it
and it should work; it did for me.
