You mean that without infinite population growth you can’t have infinite profit growth and the toy will break sooner rather than when we finish the resources?

Elon is absolutely brilliant… if the listener is an absolute idiot.

I like how he’s so concerned about population collapse but is too stupid or ignorant to address the underlying causes – to which he’s a prime example of and that is income inequality
If Edgelord Musk cared he’d allow unionized labor at his business and support policies that bring up minimum wage, universal healthcare, paid family leave, and government subsidized day care. All of which would dramatically make it more likely for young people to have families. Instead he wasted 50+ billion dollars on turning twitter into his own alt-right platform so he could play at being Alex Jones.

Someone tell him that other parts of the world are also reaching European levels of birthrates.

I’ve heard the Nazis are still pretty popular where he’s from.

You know, I used to like Elon. Used to.

Give people a living wage and start paying your taxes, asshole. Who can even afford a kid now adays??

I guess he will have to make a bunch of mini Elons and then they can kill eachother on his space ships.

There are 8 billion people on Earth that we can’t feed all of them now.
Musk has 11 kids, most can’t stand him.
What a narcissist arrogant jerk he is.

if I were a multi-billionaire and I truly believed it was important to increase the birth rate of any given population I would do something about it…..
like …..
……..pay all my employees a livable wage, maternity and paternity leave, excellent medical benefits…..

ahhh,good old Elon,proof positive that you can be the richest person on earth but also be among the dumbest

If the great civilization had collapsed from a long time ago, does that mean back then, the population was more than now?

Funny how the facts that the USA has a unlimited supply of immigrant labor as they refuse to overhaul the system & a thriving illegal drug trade that adds over a hundred billion to the GDP every single year.

To think there are people who furiously defend/praise this guy for free is just pathetic.

Among a fundamental lack of understanding of engineering, politics, and business, Musk don’t seem to understand history, sociology, or anthropology all that much either.

Pretty sure if billionaires weren’t busy grabbing all the wealth, people could afford to start a family without bringing them to their knees with abject poverty (and that’s just to pay for the birth)

Europe has a population collapse? Where I am, we can’t even build noew housing fast enough.

I’ll never understand why it’s anyone’s business if someone doesn’t want kids. Who cares about low birth rates??? That’s honestly fantastic since most people in this country live paycheck to paycheck in the first place and couldn’t financially take care of a kid to begin with! We don’t even offer proper leave/healthcare/daycare. Like people are actually using their brains and thinking before they have a child? Good!

Yeah…. Because London is an empty city, and Italy is devoid of people entirely.
STFU Musky with your support of bigots
mister_nixon on
It could be that we can’t fucking afford anything, let alone kids, because billionaires are in the process of optimizing how much they can extract from us. Everything is so expensive. They haven’t thought ahead to the time when they’ve taken all the money

In some countries populations are the lowest they’ve been since the 50’s….back when scientists were concerned about overpopulation and resource scarcity, which still exist as issues

I love how conservatives always think only in terms of absolutes.
“If populations decline 100%, there won’t be any people left!”
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, but here in the real world, nobody is talking about a ludicrous situation in which populations decline 100%.

It’s pretty obvious that you missed the point of the tweet.

He literally said he doesn’t like the conspiracy theory tho, and pointed out its obvious flaws.
