Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

The big concern is there won’t be enough people to care for old people.
Of course immigrants are a solution…
-
Not only is it racist and sexist hogwash, but I don’t think he understands how a compass works, either.
-
He's been saying this for years. I wonder if a couple millions voters who saw his racism so plainly would have made enough of a difference?
-
The people "worried" about low birth rates are the same ones fighting against maternal leave, paternal leave, lowering costs of childcare, lowering costs of living, and basically everything that might encourage couples to have more babies
-
it's also a central piece of their replacement theory bullshit.
-
and yet the chaos and despair of 2025 seems the perfect time to think not having kids is a great choice.
-
If there are people as evil and soulless as Elon, then it is better for that population of people to collapse and cease to exist.
-
As if only white people (whose birth rates are really what he's complaining about) are the only ones who can comprise a great west.
-
There will be a West, just not all white.
-
So, we don't have enough people, but we have too many people?
-
And exactly how will this affect the $bottom line of billionaires again? It won’t. They just want a civil war to profit from. In 70 years, the planet has gone from 2.2 billion to almost 8 billion, so please Nazis, knock it off with your bullshit.
-
Extension serves it's purpose
-
And by “west” he means white, “migration” is brown. Simple if you have the racist decoder ring.
-
But his concerns are valid ...if by reason of low birth rate, foreigners becomes more populated than citizens, they will soon occupy sensitive positions - like high court judges, police, military, majors, senators ,etc...this inadvertently gives them advantage, making laws that supports their need.
-
There will be no West? Just North, South and East. Hmm.
-
I have a feeling the techobros have been watching this and other utopian movies and tv series, blazed out of their mind on ketamine and other dissociative drugs, thinking it's the greatest idea they've ver heard

We can start by deporting Musk and Thiel, two non-Westerners.
-
Fun fact: Elon Musk is a known Russian puppet. cybernews.com/news/elon-mu...
He's pulled out of American politics the same way his apartheid millionaire daddy pulled out of his mommy back in South Africa.
Who helped Musk acquire Twitter? There’s a Russian connection | Cybernews
Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter involved many financial institutions, banks, and investment funds – but also, indirectly, Russian oligarchs, tied to the Kremlin.
-
I see Musk is doing his part💩🤢
-
So maybe stop making raising a family financially ruinous and pregnancy a dangerous nightmare?

Steven Miller looked at the future and he's peeved. humansxai.substack.com/p/1-in-3-wil...

Is that why elon is dickering with cross species breeding?
-
Elona Musk. Tell us you have NO idea what you are talking about, without you telling us you have NO idea what you are talking about. A man from money has NO idea what he is talking about because his words and actions say so.
-
The same group that is anti-vax. Make it make sense.
-
I wonder where Musk spent his early years? Oh! apartheid South Africa!
-
Wouldn’t the migrants replace the not born? Whose to say they wouldn’t assimilate to “western” culture?
-
Why don’t I find the argument that Republicans actually care about this and don’t just absolutely hate women to be convincing?
Oh, right: bsky.app/profile/moms...
Air pollution from oil and gas causes 90,000 premature US deaths each year, says new study
Study analyzed health impacts of fossil fuels from exploration to end use, and found communities of color bear brunt of harm
-
And yet they want to replace people with AI...
-
Concern over low white birth rates.
The Republic of Gilead was white supremacist, just like Musk.
-
You got here through migration too, so
-
Women: please don’t fall for this ‘low birth rate’ bs from conservatives. There are plenty of people on the planet and humanity will be just fine.
This nonsense is from project 2025 that is A) another method to control women and B) when they say ‘birth rate’ they mean ‘white babies’
-
TFR is a more socially acceptable thing for these "enlightened" men to bring up than, much safer than eugenics or just open racism, so that's the appeal. Funny thing, though. They aren't willing to incentivize women bearing children with, say, a maternity stipend.
-
Actual threats:
- Climate change
- Fascism
- Income inequality
- Using AI to deny medical claims (It's also gobbling up already-scarce water, raising people's electrical bills, and oh yeah, A KID OFFED HIMSELF BECAUSE OF IT)
- RFK Jr (food/water safety, vaccines)
- ICE/concentration camps
-
Americans are American's. whether they migrate here or are born here. Musk is wrong. Let Immigrants in! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🚬😎
-
It's so bizarre than in the mid to late 60s in grade school we learned about overpopulation and the worry that the world wouldn't have the carrying capacity to feed everyone. That disease would spread. I think the US pop was 200 M and worled was 3.4 billion. So low birth rate sound GOOD to me!
-
So on replacement migration he means himself?
-
"Birth rates are too low. We must fix this problem!"
"That's fine. We'll just bring in more immigrants."
"NOT LIKE THAT!"
-
So he knocked up Stephen Miller's wife. So, why is Elmo so stupid? South Africa is not a western nation.
-
Maybe if the state supported families, people would have more children.
-
Key was the connected upper class & oligarchs not having da bambinos; normal lovemakers had no such problems.
-
The oligarchs just want us to feed them workers and consumers
-
What a sad man he is
-
…also, half of American men are completely unf@ckable.
That might be a contributing factor.
-
How can they talk about "replacement"? It's a racist concept to begin with, but migration patterns have existed since the dawn of civilization & are a natural part of life on earth even for animals. They don't get that humans have been on earth for a tiny fraction of its history & we're all related.
-
At the same time, they completely ignore climate change. How can anyone in good conscience bring children into a world that has a high probability of facing catastrophic ruin in the next 50 years, via climate disasters or nuclear, chemical, or germ warfare.
-
To Elon, "the West" is the code word for "White Christo Fascism".
-
Elon would rather have more poorly educated white serfs than educated immigrants in STEM fields. Following that logic Musk should self deport at his earliest convenience.
-
Wait. Wait. Are his baby-mommas ‘Ofelon’?!
-
Population rate are falling around the globe. It’s the heat. Little swimmers do not like the heat. That’s why they live in two little apartments just outside of town!
-
Maybe if we HAD a Country that was WORTH bringing new life into, people would be more WILLING to have kids! We DID have that kind of Country BEFORE Trump & his GANG of THUGS DESTROYED it!🤬
-
It’s not the birthrate that concerns them, it’s the percentage of ‚white‘ babies. Fuck these racists all the way to hell.
-
West is a geographic characteristic not a genetic one.
-
whilst I try not to Godwin every thread about current us politics, Hitler gave out medals to german mothers. Eugenics enthusiasts have been worried about european birth rates since the late 1800s
-
Lay off the ketamine, nazi boy. No one cares what you think.
-
Elon out there promoting white replacement theory. On brand, as always.
-
Who the F#$k would want to bring a child into a world when morons are running amok and telling people how they should live, who they can love, and where psychos are in administration that let's people commit crimes against humnity
-
May the Lord Open
-
They’re nothing if not unoriginal.
-
Immigration can easily offset a low birth rate -- unless what you are really lamenting is a low white birth rate.
-
Well just think. If there’s low birth rates then there no migration. Problem solved 🤷♀️
-
Too many people haven't read or are forgetting what they read in Project 2025. It's Handmaid's Tale s***. Go watch their training videos on youtube. And the hidden camera footage of its architects explaining their plans to undercover journalists. Idk why we've let all this info get out of view.
-
Nazi says what...
-
Then provide the best medical care possible. Things go wrong. Women need to know they will be cared for when they do. Taking away care and making women (many who are already mothers) fear for their lives and ability to continue parenting disincentivizes women to procreate. Duh.
-
It's not mentioned, but he means WHITE birthrate and NONWHITE migration. Elon's concerns are 100% about white supremacy.
-
Nazi
-
Their fear of large groups of people tell us all we need to know about defeating them. ❤️🩹💪
-
The “West” is about ideas (legislative, institutional, economic) and personal rights. It is not about skin color and religion. Musk is showing us his racist, apartheid thoughts about people that look different.
-
The two most prophetic works for our time are The Handmaid’s Tale and Idiocracy.

C’mon, what are they gonna do, take away women’s right to vote — oh wait… bsky.app/profile/nick...

Progressive evangelical group says ideas shared by pastors and amplified by defense secretary are ‘very disturbing’
-
The brown party in Norway(FRP) claimed many years ago the muslims will take over Norway. I know a few of their voters, not a single one of them have kids. I guess they are too busy with counting immigrants.
-
I look at this the same way I do when people say we will destroy the earth. The earth isn’t going anywhere it’s just humans that might not survive. The west will still be the west. It’s a direction. It will just look different. And we’re all humans. What difference does the color make?
-
"There will be no west if this continues."
He says that like it's a bad thing.
-
pure primal... He's like the Vikings that raped and pillaged villages to spread their seed.
Normal people look at the 250K or whatever it take to raise a child and ask if they can afford it.
-
Yes, because of terrible climate decisions that led to disastrous consequences for the society as a whole.
-
The number one threat to the West is crony capitalism. Number two is Christian nationalism. Number three is low literacy (the USA is currently 128th in literacy). Shall I go on?
-
That sick prick needs to be castrated! Not sorry!
It's easy to ejaculate, but it's so much more difficult, complicated, dangerous, and expensive to be a mother. It's also a lifelong commitment.
All that idiot does is have his people write checks.
-
Yikes!
-
This world is grossly overpopulated. We are using up our no renewable resources at an alarming rate.
We need to lower the birth rate.
-
😡😡😡
-
Elon is the last person we should be listening to.
-
Musk is a pathetic, insecure bigot.
-
Weird but I think if birthrates are down immigration could support our growth. Not hard to reach this conclusion if you aren't afraid every immigrant is as awful as yourself.
-
musk's outlook is only a problem in a world if "us vs them", ie, a world of psychotic insecurity, cowardice, and fear. In the real world of humanity, musk's fears don't exist.
-
Says the guy from the East who migrated here.
-
And, if I remember correctly the problem was with the guys.
-
It’s impossible for me to think low birth rate with 8 billion + people on the planet, destroying it for habitation bc of our excesses.
-
The fix is simple. Immigration... But bigots and racists don't want to have that conversation
-
Hands up 100% Neanderthal! You are the only true westerner. Oh wait... migrants got to you too...
-
Why Republicans? Need more gun targets? Try giving young people a positive world to bring a child into. GETTING BLOWN UP AT SCHOOL AIN'T IT.
-
Maybe if you asshole would quit fucking up the world people would want to live here but as it is what’s the big draw? Welcome to America if your lucky you will work your entire life a die poor if not you will die because you are poor.
-
What did the South African immigrant say?
-
So rather than do things that would incentivize people to have children - like jobs that make housing and food affordable - They're just going to force us to have children. You know who else did that? The Nazis did that. A woman's sole purpose was to be an incubator and proud of it.
-
Lesser evil than being screwed over by oligarchs like you
-
Elon Musk was the unpopular nerd in high school who fantasized about having a harem--and then became rich enough to turn that fantasy into reality.
-
I love when white immigrants complain about other immigrants.
-
I always find it fascinating that some immigrants are against immigration.
-
Elon Musk is a racist Nazi. He single handedly murdered millions of poor children and is trying to imbue the USA with the failed policies of his homeland, apartheid era South Africa. MAGAts hear the call and are answering. Those of us who are not in the cult continue the resistance.
-
Well then, stop robbing the country blind!!! Maybe if the cost of living was much lower, people would actually have kids. How can we procreate when y'all are taking everything and treat us as slave-workers to survive and y'all talking about birth rate. 😂 😂 😂
-
Women with autonomy threatens male power.
-
OH pew skum. European white folk came here and committed genocide to take over the land....AND WE'RE STILL HERE CENTURIES LATER. mr. skum you are patently racist and ignorant on top of that...stop making crap up to justify your immorality
-
the birth rate would be higher if they sought to build a world that didn't suck shit.
-
Yep. One of the falsehoods that seem to pop up to justify dictatorships. That and forcing an uneducated populace to buy those junk theories. (See T’s entire gov’t.)
-
How does one not laugh everytime they see this quote by Elon😆😂 Between him, Nick Cannon, Eddie Murphy, lets not forget that large family from reality tv, the Duggars--the West will be fine with population growth! lol... (imo: the world could do with less humans to help heal Mother Earth)
-
Says a man who has how many children?
-
The number one threat to the west is Musk and the rest of the technofaschists followed closely by greedy, soulless billionaires and the corporate class.
-
And how does Elon propose to employ a forced influx of future adults in the age of automation and AI?
-
Yes there is. It just won´t be a majority European-descendant West...and that's the rub. When he speaks about "the West", he means white people. He just doesn´t want Western nations with highly-mixed races with political power. But he can´t say it "like that"..we all know what he means.
-
We just don't generally see many women whining about low birth rates.
-
It seems like these People watch A LOT of movies & fiction content. It's probably why they are so detached from reality.
-
He’s wrong, there will be a West it just won’t be the lily white one he dreams of. 💁🏽♀️
-
Elon Musks strangely deformed face, racist hate rants & pathetic "look at me! Look at me!" vibes make too good a contraceptive. Perhaps if we buried him in a bunker somewhere (Mars?) we can all get back to some good lovin'
-
Of course, he is talking about White people's low birth rates only.
-
THE CONCERN IS ANYONE WHO IS EVEN LISTENING TO HACKER MUSK.
-
Just like the Nazi regime believed…
-
Nothing can grow without changing. The world is, and always will be CHANGING. Elon can go to Mars.
-
Simple. Have more babies because Musk says so.
-
They cheat off someone else’s paper at every turn. If it’s not Hitler, it’s Atwood. They think the handmaids tale is inspirational
-
We need fewer people on the planet, not more! If the uber rich paid their taxes, SAME SHARE AS EVERYONE ELSE, (20-40%) there'd be no need for more people to support aging populations, and the planet wouldn't continue to be raped of its resources at a terrifying rate.Better quality for everyone!
-
Says the migrant
-
Translation: “White people aren’t reproducing enough. And they allow too many brown people into their countries.” How to say you’re a white supremacist without saying you’re a white supremacist.
-
As for all the hand wringing about "The West", human history has always been a mixture of peoples due to migration, conquest and the like. I suspect if we look far enough into our family trees, you aren't going to find many bloodlines containing one race.
-
I had this conversation with the kid over the weekend. All the drama about birth rates, but no acknowledgement as to why. How about high cost of living, no safety nets, education gutted, health care nigh impossible to get, child care costs etc. The idea of bringing kids into the world for the sake
-
Obviously, to him “The West”=The White Aryan Race
-
Elon should stay off social media. Obviously, low birth rate can't be your greatest problem and (im)migration the second. The second solves the first. No? Because what he meant was low white birth rate, and too much non-white migration. That's a problem for you, Elon. Not the "West."
-
Stupidity is a threat.
-
Isn't it a little odd how much an immigrant to the West is concerned with people in the West being replaced by immigrants like him..?
-
So cut maternal healthcare, Head Start preschool, and SNAP food benefits? Deport Elon, misogynistic loser and sociopath.
-
They are as cunning as they are evil.
-
100% white supremacist, eugenecist crank, like his Dad & Grandad before him.
Migration still makes world go round. Humans have been migrating for varied reasons since forever. It's what we do, & it will continue to happen in free societies no matter what these psuedo-genius guys think up.
-
Musk, doing his bit to discourage new potential parents from bringing children into his awful world... and he can't see it. That's the blinders that authoritarians wear....
-
Elon, someone has to make up for your inability to control your genitals.
-
Wow, some good 'ol by-the-book replacement theory racism. I guess when MSM doesn't push back against one's racism, one is no longer afraid to put it on full display.
-
Give us peace and a happy world population with no Big Brother overlords and women respected as true equals and treated accordingly I expect birthrates would go down everywhere. Many women wouldn't get forced into marriage and large families at all and the rest only have as many as they can manage.
-
Fear is the mind killer.
-
😆 @ Musk. That weirdo will say anything that may help him artificially inseminate women who may reproduce blonde hair, blue-eyed children that he won't help raise, acknowledge, or cost him a couple hundred dollars a month. He'll take them to Mars with him for his "colony" starter pack, though.

If you agree with Ms. Vance, please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC. Don't wait until Nov. 2026. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

Come on people!! Start breeding!!
We need more blond, blue-eyed ARYAN stock... the kind that created the Atom bomb, started both world wars, spread Christianity to the Congo by force, and proclaimed white people as the superior race.
Definitely need more of that kind of population
-
Is it not contradictory to say immigration is a problem and so is low birth rates?
-
Fucking Nazis
-
I'm confused about how the number of white bodies affects whether there are four directions on a compass or three.
-
Exactly! since women are literally ‘dying’ having children because of No care during pregnancy or allowing them to bleed out in the parking lot or putting women on life support with no regard for their lives to take the baby🤬 then elon musk should convince men to populate on their own, such idiots!
-
The "west" was Indigenous, until the colonizers perpetrated a genocide here.
What musketball is concerned about is ability of Euro-descended genocidaires to take over the world.
...because he is a racist, misogynist, inbred, nepo-baby, threat to bio-diversity.
-
Billionaires are the biggest threat to the west, followed by Millionaires.
-
No one: "thank you for your service"
-
Hear that, my pasty friends? Some of you need to get busy! I've been shooting blanks for 40 years since a vasectomy, so I'm off the team.
-
White Nationalist idea to have a full quiver to populate their army of degenerates. That is why they want to monitor menstrual cycles,inforce anti abortion. Their incel men can then rape and pillage.
-
Imagine if he showed this much concern over his customers burning to death in locked cyber trucks.
-
Their greatest fear is losing the racial majority they enjoy. It is inevitable.
-
Plenty of people need plenty of jobs. Open the borders.
-
Fuck Elon
-
Oh yee with little faith in electro magnetism. The west will never fall - though, it might change if earths polarity shifts, but that will have nothing to do with immigration nor birth rates. In fact it will have nothing to do with humans 😂
-
Bring it on. The West in its current state isn't worth saving.
-
STFU LEON TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN HOUSE

Less people + more people = disaster
-
Birth rate coincidences a lot with cost of living. Countries where children can be assets to help produce value for the family, like in agriculture communities, have higher birthrates. However as children become more expensive birthrates go down. Reduce cost of living will address some but not all.
-
Fear makes people do stupid things.
-
This is pure Nazi language.
-
-
As much as I agree with you, for those countries with publicly funded Health Services and Pensions, it is a major issue to consider. More tax and working till death is the other option if not wanting to look at the issues around declining birth rates.
-
But after the child is born, they dont care what happens to it until it can either work or vote or go to war for them
-
Musk is such an arse. Has he looked at birth rates in China?
-
And if they really wanted to encourage more births there are SO many basic policies they could put in place including coverage for prenatal care, paid time off, economic security/confidence. Remember during COVID the $600 monthly child tax credit lifted half of children out of poverty? Easy peasy.
-
Read this from yesterday.
-
The rich white a-holes that spew this nonsense are the same dudes who don’t want to fund parental leave, child care, pre-k programs, prenatal health care or pediatric healthcare. They either want rich white women to have more babies or to have poor white woman supply babies to rich white families.
-
Actually it was ecological devastation but go off as someone who clearly hasn't read the book
-
Elon's answer to the "problem" will be to send his own sperm to every viable woman in the US (where "viable" includes having """good""" genes). They will all get pregnant with his children and that will "save" us.
-
No one is going to want kids with this Regime!
-
Under his eye.
-
There will be no Elon long before there is no West. #FuckElon #FuckTesla #FuckTrump #FuckPeterTiel
-
He was born under apartheid
He’s the least worthy person to listen to
-
Elon Musk and his kind are the greatest threat.
-
His theory is a core tenet of antisemitic conspiracy thinking.
-
Maybe he's got a dead worm in his brain too.
-
Sick effers
-
wow, they/he aren't even trying to hide the white supremacy.
-
Right, there will be no birth rate if narcisd egomaniacs continue , we are doomed !
-
The number one threat to the west is climate change followed by the elites who refuse to pay their fair share of taxes! Only the Elon Musks of the world can afford to have kids!
-
We can use this.
You want more kids in the West:
- Improve healthcare
- Make housing affordable
- Fun education
- Pay a living wage
That'll get the West bump'n
-
I'd have thought migration would be the answer to low birth rate unless, of course, you're a racist, bigot.
-
The lack of self-awareness on the part of Musk is really staggering.
-
Go South then Lone if the ways of the West offend you.
South Africa MIGHT accept you back because, god knows, NO-ONE ELSE WANTS YOU NEAR THEM.
-
When he says West, he means White. Otherwise, migration would be the solution.
-
Elon Musk you’re doing just fine with your birthrate! Leave the rest of us alone! The reason for low birth rates is women are dying! Republicans draconian laws are killing us!
-
One must have a jaundiced eye looking at the low birth rate Fascists. That is a neon indicator, btw.
-
Mutant Elon can go fuck himself.
-
Oddly, I see toxic Capitalism, unfettered billionaires and continued capitulation of Congress to the fossil fuel industry as being more likely to wipe us out...
