[Eccl 10:2]

Coming soon to a civilization near you.

That’s okay, lets deport all Mexicans and Indians in the US to Japan. I’m sure they would be welcome. /s

[skeeter]

As long as our government punishes parents and rewards immigrants America will cease being America. If it hasnt already.

[cgbg]

Birth rates are easy to fix with government policy.

You get more of what you reward.

You get less of what you punish.

[9YearLurker]

Not his business.

And a lame attempt to sound like a conservative somehow.

He’s still a Klaus Schwab Global Young Leader CIA-cutout evil, governmental-control-tech, company front man.

[PghBaldy]

Same thing for much if the West, if not for Third World savages invading.

[Leaning Right]

There is one society where the birth rate is far above the replacement rate. I somehow get the feeling that civilization will not benefit from that.

[Little Ray]

Dunno.
I think the population will only decline until it consists of people culturally and genetically inclined to have have children. Cities might be depopulated, but maybe the countryside will survive.
Problem is, a declining population leaves Japan less able to defend itself. And just across the sea, the PRC waits.
Of course, the PRC is in pretty bad shape, too, demographically speaking.

Yet his company (Tesla) is paying employees’ travels expenses to get abortions.

This is the same guy who wants robots to take over the world. I believe one of his comments was that AI will so far surpass humanity that it could very well wipe out humanity - his analogy was "When we build a highway and wipe out an ant colony it's not because we hate the ants, we're just building highway, no hard feelings."

I don't understand the folks who are putting Elon up on a pedestal.

[KobraKai]

Japan is quite literally, overcrowded, though. Yes, tue Japs have been rather well -behaved under our boot for 75 years, but I prefer depopulation vs. Japan seeking living space once again.

[DouglasKC]

"At risk of stating the obvious, unless something changes to cause the birth rate to exceed the death rate, Japan will eventually cease to exist," Musk posted on Twitter on May 7. "This would be a great loss for the world."

Oh that's okay. Just give the land to someone else like we are doing in the United States.

[wny]

Most ‘western’ countries do not reproduce at replacement rate....

[Trumpet 1]

Japan is way far over-crowded. Just way far too many people attempting to live there. With a 25% reduction of population, the Japanese would more than likely feel happier about having better ease of movement. Too many people everywhere causes a person to feel constricted.

[RedMonqey]

In a manner, civilization is a Ponzi scheme, needs next generation to be larger to support the older and so on.

[Irenic]

Sure, let’s marry a toon and teach everybody about the in and outs of your mental illness and push for it to have special minority status.

Yeah, lets have the news media support and celebrate you across the world. The Birkenstock footed, stink rope head, billboard bodies will protest for your rights.

Just let your heritage fade away and wither on the vine whilst you molest a toon. Good plan.

[Garth Tater]

The chemical castration of the undesirables is progressing nicely - Japan is just a little bit ahead of the curve.

Why Are Average Testosterone Levels Dropping In Men Every Generation?

"A seminal 2007 study by the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism showed that since the 1980’s, men in the United States’ testosterone levels have been dropping by about 1% annually.

...

What’s surprising about this study is that it shows that on top of that, young men have been averaging a loss of about the same amount of testosterone every year as older men do. That means a 25 year old in 2021 has about 50% lower testosterone levels, on average, than a 25 year old man from a generation ago."

[Paal Gulli]

The only thing I want to hear from Musk is "I'll shut up now and stop being an attention whore."

[zeugma]

Japan has had a negative birthrate for a long time. Mark Steyn talked about it in ‘America Alone’.

[minnesota_bound]

I am willing to help populate Japan

This uncomfortable truth about Japan is also true of Germany and several other European countries.

A problem in search of a sane answer.

Filling these land masses with people who are NOT Japanese or German or Hungarian is NOT the answer. Mini cultures with values switched away from consumption and destruction...
