Around 1 a.m. ET on Monday, he shared a very normalthat states, “Population collapse is the biggest threat to civilization,” accompanied by a list of countries where fertility rates are supposedly in decline and a very shiny photo of himself holding a sign that reads, “The population crisis is real.
The predictably bizarre post from the “X” owner comes amid new reports that he’s donating $10 million to fund research into fertility and demography conducted by the Population Wellbeing Initiative, under the University of Texas at Austin.
Musk’s obsession with fertility and the population is pretty jarringly at the root of some of his other god-awful takes. That includes hison Tucker Carlson’s now defunct Fox News show in April, and his argument that adults who don’t have kidsearlier this month, much of Musk’s well-documented transphobia is due to obsessive panic about trans people’s reproductive capacities. It seems that in his mind, pregnancy and birthing are the existential purpose of women and people with uteruses.
If Musk’s decision to fund fertility research leaves a bad taste in your mouth, that’s probably because it’s all very creepy, certainly from a managainst him.
