Ah yes the “family values” party here to yet again “save the children” from librul strangeness.

    “Without babies there’s no future, every problem becomes secondary to the problem of not having people on the planet,” said Varsavsky. “Elon believes that a country is not the geography, a country is the people.”

    Speaking to an audience at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year, Musk laid out the urgency of the matter. “I think for most countries, they should view the birthrate as the single biggest problem they need to solve. If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter,” Musk told the crowd over a live video.

    Possible translation: “I’m going to need many, many future slaves and test subjects for my Neuralink brain chip that will be able to read your minds and maybe even allow me to take control of your minds and bodies whenever I want. Also, I need to blast lots of controllable people to Mars. Many of them will probably die. Pilgriming is hard business, after all.”

    Can’t believe how out of touch this sick fuck is. “Have more kids!!” Ya, ok buddy. Maybe when you make housing available and affordable. Maybe when you make it easy to have a life at home and not completely beholden to tenuous corporate interests optimized to squeeze all of someone’s life and soul out of them. Maybe when you start to actually give a fuck about the future health of this planet, so if someone decides to bring new life into existence, they’re not debilitated by guilt at having forced someone to live in the hellish future you’re fabricating.

    “Without babies there’s no future, every problem becomes secondary to the problem of not having people on the planet”

    Instead, how about “With the perception of there being a really shitty future, or possibly no future, people will conscientiously refuse to bring more people into existence because they don’t want to be responsible for their childrens’ horrible and untimely deaths.”

    I, for one, would feel like a complete piece of shit if I were to reproduce today because, sorry kid, the shittiest, most hostile sociopathic people happen to be in charge now and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon…barring, of course, an extinction event you would have no chance of surviving.

      Even if the global birth rate dropped to ~1.75 kids per woman (currently it’s around 2.3), it would still take over 150 years for the world population to fall to half its current level. We are in no danger of humans becoming endangered, except by our own hands. I believe this is 100% related to him being an asshole.

    During the nazi era, comedians had a field day mocking Hitler and his cronies. The immortal joke ‘the true Aryan is as blonde as Hitler, slim as Goering, and as tall/beautiful as Goebbels’. It was funny then and still funny now. Because none of them even remotely resembled the ideal they spoke about. This is even funnier when you include goblins like Himmler who was the head of the SS when he would never have qualified to even be an enlisted SS man when he was younger.

        One variation of the ‘blonde as hitler’ joke did include Röhm, with ‘and as chaste as Röhm’ being the statement.

        It was and still is a homophobic joke. But given that the Nazis hated gays more than anyone else at the time, I think mocking him is still acceptable. Especially since Röhm was a power broker who was critical in Hitler’s rise to power.

    We should really keep talking about how Elon is the real president and Trump is just the secretary.

    Use words that they understand, like pointing out how Musk is still having kids and it’s been 19/20 years since Trump was able to sire a kid. In the MAGA world, doesn’t that show how much more deserving Musk is and that Trump is used up?

    Something to get them infighting and destroy themselves from within.

      Elon is just another member of the trans national crime syndicate that masquerades as many national governments.

      Im not sure anyone is in charge of it, and its most likely a gentlemans agreement between its leaders to divide the world up into territories amongst its members,

      but if anyone’s in charge of it, its not Elon or Trump, its Vladimir Putin.

        Nah, secretary would hurt trump more because he most likely thinks it’s a woman’s job, so trump is a secretary of the president

      It’s not a winning move I think. The deeper, much more intractable problem is that this administration is culturally aligned with its voters, and the other party is not.

    I thought the headline was talking about all of the DOGE preteens he brought in to destroy the government. Although maybe they are his children too?

    Isn’t it weird that we let these rich paranoid dynasty freaks control so much of our world? I find it ironic that they have more money than gods, but are just as susceptible to time and bullets as us plebs. That notion helps me sleep at night.

      They can afford private security and bullet proof vests. And their lifespans are a decade or more longer than that of the average pleb

        Anyone can afford a bullet proof vest, and anyone can train. Exercise, a relatively healthy diet, and luck are all any of us need. Remember practice makes perfect 🎯

      Nah he’s just an insane narcissist who thinks his genes will save humanity. Elon doesn’t believe in any god other than himself - he is his own god.

    asked to be a sperm donor for a high-profile Japanese influencer. “They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm,”

    Interestingly, one of my favorite AV films has a title that translates more or less into, “No romance or anything, just sperm”

    He’s a plague on the world all by himself (and all the doctors he pays to make his children).
