I’m afraid I have to disagree with Elon on this. We have way too many people on this planet. It think it’s unethical to have many children when we are stressing our resources.
No one should take family planning, or parenting advice from Elon Musk.
That I agree with.
The planet is already buckling under the immense strain of the current population’s emissions and resources demand. He just wants more people so that his labor costs are low.
There is nothing wrong with being child free, especially in today’s fuck up world.
He doesn’t need more labor. He is automating most of his plants. Soon, he will have robots doing the bulk of the work.
I didn’t say he wanted more labor. I said he wanted more people so his labor costs would be lower. Supply and demand also effects the labor market. When there is a couple thousand people fighting for a single job, that drives the wage of that job down.
And as much as he is automating, the labor costs he has is more than enough for him to be motivated to spout bullshit like the above.
His motivation is he wants to expand to other planets.
Guess you’ve never really read anything by Musk. Musk thinks we are heading for an extinction-level event. As such we need to protect our genome.
Yet you argue he wants cheaper labor. lol. It is weird to watch liberals just make things up about Musk.
That is the goal of Space X. To send us to another planet.
His motivation is he wants to expand to other planets.
No, his motivation is money. That’s it.
Guess you’ve never really read anything by Musk.
I used to be a fan of him. Key part being “used to”. The more I learned about him, the more I realize how morally bankrupt he is, how much he lies, etc.
Yet you argue he wants cheaper labor. lol. It is weird to watch liberals just make things up about Musk.
Labor is one of the biggest costs of businesses, and his businesses are neither small, nor simple work. He as a business owner wants to maximize profit, and for his he has a legal requirement to maximize profits. That means that he has to drive labor costs down.
I didn’t make this up, this is how capitalism works.
That is the goal of Space X. To send us to another planet.
That might be Space X’s goal, but Musk only cares for money, and the same goes for all other billionaires. You don’t get to become a billionaire without being a greedy bastard that only cares about money.
What a way to say you’ve never read anything about Elon without actually saying it.
Now we get some anti-billionaire rant, just a personal attack with nothing to do with the topic.
has a legal requirement to maximize profits.
Cite this as it’s a complete lie. It is something stupid people say because they heard it from another stupid person. CIte me which federal law or regulation requires that.

I literally just told him I used to be a fan from him. You are too closed minded.

If you don’t like “anti-billionare rants” don’t bringing up billionaires doing shit clearly for the purpose of getting more money.

It’s case law, and you probably wouldn’t listen anyways, given how your dismissing me out of hand on the other stuff.

The topic is children. Yet, you talk about billionaires. Nothing to do with the topic.

No, it isn’t. Cite it.
What the fuck is a DINK? lol the stupid terms these idiots come up with, what a bunch of terminally online horseshit.
People can have no kids if they want to, its not immoral. I thought this was supposed to be land of the free, not land of the free as long as you do exactly what some south american failson thinks is ‘moral’.
What a stupid thing to say, and what an appropriately stupid person to say it. Good job Elon :D
Double income, no kids. Its a fairly old term, like Wasp meaning white anglo saxon protestant.
Can we make ELON a term, like ‘Entitled Lonely Old Narcissist’? Who do I talk to to make that a thing? XD
I’m happy for him to raise his 14 children and for me to raise my none.
It’s shows money can buy you hot chicks. I have a hard time thinking it was his charm.
I’m always struck by how Elon Musk, by virtue of being rich, gets literally zero space or allowance for his Asperger’s syndrome.
Three failed marriages suggest it’s pretty difficult to be married to him. But I’m not, so why would I care?
I wasn’t shocked when he admitted. It actually made sense. I’m a huge fan of the things he’s doing such as Tesla and space x. I don’t get boring. As a person he’s a little garbage but that could be because of his autism.
Just an fyi. Asperger’s has been replaced with autism spectrum disorder. It’s considered a no no to say Asperger’s anymore because he was a Nazi. I work up from a medical procedure and stayed to lecture my nurses of Asperger’s. I can’t lectured we don’t use that term anymore and why. Drugs. A hell of weird conversation starter.
It’s considered a no no to say Asperger’s anymore because he was a Nazi.
I don’t care about that, and I disagree that Asperger’s is on a spectrum with autism. They have totally different etiologies; Asperger’s syndrome is clearly not just a “mild” form of autism.
Well it doesn’t matter if you disagree. The dsm is the guide for classification.
Just like it doesn’t matter that I agree with you. I think spectrum classifications are stupid for the most part. I like precision and it prevents that.
There’s plenty of resources
Not even close. We have way to many people on this planet.
I think we have too many people that use too much. It’s almost everyone in “The West”, including myself.
If we used less, relied more on labor rather than capital, I think the resources of the planet would suffice.
relied more on labor rather than capital
Not sure what you mean by that one but somewhat agree.
We need to use less, and have less people. The two are tied together.
Less people would put less strain on everything.
You can eat the bugs then. I won’t
Ack. No way. That is how I know we have hit our population limit. When people are seriously talking about eating crickets. That would take all the joy out of life.
