      It is absolutely not satire. It’s a drooling nethandreal with no higher order thought than “sex sex mine mine!”

      Musk is another one of these rich, eugenics idiots with a breeding fetish. It’s even creepier because his dick doesn’t work anymore thanks to botched penis surgery. All his kids were conceived through artificial insemination.

      We’ve already had reports of him propositioning employees for sex for money. You don’t think he considers everyone on Twitter his property?

    Declining population, my ass. There were less than 4.5 billion people on the planet when I was born. That fash-hole is only worried that white people will represent a minority of the future population. Nothing more.

      Decline population is an actual thing…? Not defending this asshole or anything but your statement is seemingly based off of a lack of information.

      Birth rates in many developed countries are incredibly low well below maintenance levels. Meaning that aside from immigration the population in most developed countries is actually going down quite rapidly.

      Which given the way our societies and financial systems are structured generally means some form of disaster for those countries if such decline occurs.

      There’s even a pretty good recent video talking about what this looks like in South Korea

      Blue indicates below replacement levels:

        Well, we’re going to have to figure out how to level off or shrink our population eventually. Might as well do it now while there are still some wild animal species that haven’t gone extinct.

        Still one billion in 1804
        two billion in 1927
        three billion in 1960
        four billion in 1974
        five billion in 1987
        six billion in 1999
        seven billion in 2011
        eight billion in 2022

        Already too many for my taste.
        And no to all, don’t react with irrelevant “there’s enough food for…” or Malthusian bla bla

          So, don’t bother you with the downside of what’s actually going to happen? What’s in the middle of happening? You’re just going to do a little cherry-picking, then tell us don’t bother you with facts?

          You can already see it in real time by looking at the demographics in South Korea and Japan. The only reason the numbers are offset is that a few countries are still net positive enough to offset them.

          Our great-grandkids are in for one hell of a ride. If we let it drop enough, they’ll be in forced breeding situations.

            A world with a lot less people sounds like a dream TBH.
            No overcrowded cities, no chasing animals of their land or destroying it for resources, etc…

                If you can get even low quality robots that can provide some amount of elder care, even if it’s just reminding them to take prescriptions and helping them walk, then you can drastically reduce the economic problems. there will be massive shortages of basic CNA and nursing home care workers.

                  Caring for the elderly is unfortunately a very small piece of the pie. A small number of CNA can handle a pretty decent number of elderly, in a facility.

                  Of course, we (corporate) stretch those CNA as thin as possible.

                  Automation in every industry that we’re so worried about being our undoing will soften the blow.

                  It’s possible that nanny bots could eventually help ease daycare costs.

                  Problematically anytime somebody creates something that reduces financial cost for someone else, They usually end up charging them significant amounts for it. Those inexpensive elderly care robots will end up being subscriptions and have planned obsolescence. Everybody’s got to get a piece of that pie.
