Why does Elon Musk want us all to have more kids?

The Independent  

An Australian model shared, on social media, 118 reasons why she doesn’t want to have children, and received a “wave of hatred” in response. Jacob Rees-Mogg has been vocal on this issue, and his fellow Conservative MP Miriam Cates has been at the epicentre, giving speeches at May’s National Conservatism and October’s Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conferences, writing opinion pieces for The Daily Telegraph, appearing on GB News and, earlier this month, holding an event in parliament, “From Baby Boom to Baby Bust”. Abortion access has become much harder in Italy since Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy won power last year, and her party has talked up Italian identity while demonising immigrants. Musk has fuelled pronatalists with his hyperbolic talk of population “collapse”, claiming that the Earth could hold 80 billion people without destroying the rainforests, and supporting the suggestion that child-free people should have restricted voting rights as they have “little stake in the future”. Spurious claims of population “collapse” are negated by the fact we are still adding 80 million people to the world’s population every year, and the UN projects growth until 2086.
