he's not fundamentally wrong with his analysis (after all it's based on actual scientific studies) - it's generally correct that highly educated people are having fewer (and later) children.

in typical musk fashion, however, his conclusions are somewhat simplistic and tone deaf, as he (unsurprisingly) fails to realise that people like him - unapologetic advocates, beneficiaries, and exploiters of certain economic systems and mechanisms - bear a main responsibility for not only those fears, but also the struggles and pressures (financial / societal / time) of having (more) children.

history always according to the "victor"

We live in an era where the man championing electric cars has been branded as an enemy to climate change action. i dont take reporting on elon musk as anything regardless of the headline.

"well because he doesn't pay 'enough' taxes to the government so it can 'fix' climate change"

-lefties/media/politicians/RINOs/usual suspects here

as for the topic yeah he's right to an extent. but some argue that lefties (who manage to adopt loser policies like 'asians and indians are white for the purposes of education statistics') are 'more intelligent or something' like that so maybe it's a net-benefit that we will have less of these types going forward

Elon has been talking about declining population before, Jack Ma also states the same thing; Jack Ma must be a racist bigot...

If you use half your brain cells, you could determine that these big companies need BRAIN's, PEOPLES BRAINS... more people = more brains = more production and creativity.

By good people, he may just be referring to people who will actually suppport their children, rather than aborting them in the fetus, or, having children by accident and not caring/being responsible for their children.

If they wanted us to have kids, maybe they should’ve built a world worth having kids in. Each of the last 20 years has basically been deficit after deficit with no shits given about climate change, and now we’re facing a substantial threat of an authoritarian movement with a possible civil war during a pandemic. Fat fucking chance. I got snipped.
