      From the article: SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has dramatically declared on social media that declining global fertility rates “will lead to mass extinction of entire nations.”

      Musk’s “mass extinction” comment was in response to Marko Jukic, a senior analyst at Bismarck Analysis, who said: “A fertility rate below 1.6 means 50% less new people after three generations, say 100 years. Below 1.2 means an 80% drop. The U.S. is at 1.64. China, Japan, Poland, Spain all below 1.2. South Korea is at 0.7—96% drop. Mass extinction numbers.”

      Jukic was replying to a September 8 post from an account called Birth Gauge, whose profile description says: “Tracking the global fertility decline.” The post included an image titled “Birth and Fertility Data 2024.” The table displays “Total Fertility Rates (TFR)” for 2015, 2020 and 2023, and a forecast for an unspecified future year.

      Haven’t we always been saying there’s too many people? Can someone explain why this is a bad thing?

      Musk believes in great replacement theory, please don’t take anything he says seriously

      Musk has zero credibility on anything. He should be be quoted on here as he has as much relevance as a drunk uncle at Christmas.

      Elon Musk has a breeding fetish and is a racist who thinks white people are going extinct. His daughter confirmed as much.

      That’s why we have free porn. To keep us whacking off so much we can’t make babies even if we get a chance.

      Elon Musk understands approximately nothing about actual humans. Unfortunately for him not being able to own slaves is “extinction” to him. The human race was wiped out to a few thousand people not too long ago and came back with a vengeance. We won’t go extinct until this rock is dried and dead.

      Amazing how many people think they know more than the richest man in the world. Spiteful petty children is all they sound like. Im glad Elon is the one in the spot light and not the morons who hate him.

      Love it how peeps back before Musk overtly aligned himself over to the dark side couldn’t recognize he was on that side and kept praising him to be this smart intellectual. People gave him too much credit for things his workers did. Guy is smart but he’s not to the point where he should be overstepping his boundaries and expertise. Authority ≠ all-knowing

      Whew! It’s all right guys, turns out Elon Musk is a dingus.

      From the article:

      Population Matters added in its 2022 report that it was “deeply concerned that the ‘population collapse’ narrative promoted by Mr Musk may embolden those who seek to restrict reproductive freedoms, and divert attention from the urgent need to address the human welfare conditions and injustices which drive continued population growth.”

      The declaration of “mass extinction numbers” from Jukic and Musk is considered an exaggeration by many scientists and academics; the term “mass extinction” is typically used in the context of species disappearing entirely and applying it to human population decline due to low fertility is hyperbolic.

      So, restricting reproductive freedoms, eh? Now who would want to go and do a thing like that?
