So how is this a *massive blow* for Musk????

How about stop pushing abortion? Slaughtering millions of babies certainly isn’t helping any.

Yeah, how in the world does being proved right constitute a “massive blow”? I think the media people all have something wrong with them.

Population collapse? Sounds great.

America is overcrowded. The roads are overcrowded. The cities are overcrowded. Farmland is constantly encroached on for new suburbs. Enough. Seal the border even for ‘legal’ immigration. Kick out the illegals.

...only one pillar left. And that's America Islam

Mark Steyn wrote a great book titled "America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It" nearly 20 years ago on this topic. Many of his predictions have / are coming true. He posited the ennui and hedonism in Western Europe resulting from two devastating world ward 1) killed off a lot of young men and 2) made people want to live for today, not for a family tomorrow, and 3) Islam will take over via Immigration Jihad.

He believed "America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. " I think we are not doing well on any of those metrics.

Steyn should have added "If America has strict immigration control and only admit people who will assimilate, believe in the American Dream, learn English and contribute to our success." Biden demolished all of that.

The Daily Mail has become a joke. It has descended into BatBoy territory.

Actually we are lucky when it comes to immigration. Nothing like the UK or Canada.

Anyway, the biggest problem is the Leftist indoctrination centers at our Universities. Trump Administration is going after Harvard which is the correct move.

Then we need to get the government out of certifying marriages. The mother won't leave her husband if she knows she won't get $$$ for it.

There's a limit to what Trump and Vance will be able to do before the next Democrat gets back to the White House (Gavin Newsom?)

Like you said, the end game is that Islam will ultimately prevail.

During the GREAT DEPRESSION, most people had fewer children, as has ALWAYS been the case during HARD TIMES!

A lot of farm laboring jobs have been replaced by machinery.

Until manufacturing is brought back to America, WHY do we "need" more people?

We desperately need to STOP importing H1B hires, AND deporting more and more, and MORE people!

And getting able bodied OFF welfare, shutting down the GREAT SOCIETY crap ( what exactly have all of those children of UNWED mothers done to help this nation? ), and except for EXTREME cases ( such as the whites in RSA...who WOULD enrich this nation, as asylum seekers! ). completely STOP taking in asylum seekers!

Musk has impregnated FOUR different women. One of his progeny has already turned TRANNY, and who knows WHAT his other offspring, from broken homes, can or shall actually DO in the future? Most, IF NOT ALL, of kids won't be as clever as Elon.

Not everyone wants or is even able to raise a LOT of children well. And the LAST thing this nation needs is more useless people!

Just visiting the cemetery in my family’s small town in Virginia and you see many tiny graves from the 1700s and 1800s.

That's a fact. The first sheriff in our county from the 1830's has 5 children buried next to him and none made it to the age of 4. Cholera was a big deal back then. Probably were drinking right out of the rivers around here.

*John Snow's investigation during the 1854 London outbreak highlighted the link between contaminated water and cholera.

*By the late 19th century, scientists confirmed that Vibrio cholerae was the causative agent of cholera.

Exactly where is this “massive blow” to Elon Musk at?
All I see is his warnings have been confirmed.
Its a “massive” boost for Musk if anything.

And yet there ARE many Gen Zers who DO want to get married and have children; especially in the South. And I’m talking about the “good kids” that get absolutely NO publicity at all.

That’s probably where we were in the mid-60s.

And many of those children DIED/never made it to adulthood.

Farmers needed children for labor.

Poor, new, LEGAL immigrants needed them to work and help out the family finances.

And LEGAL contraception was was rare to NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL!

I don’t think it needs TFR~2.7 to maintain sustainability. The 2.1 came from net reproduction rate equals to one. That is, by calculating how many girls a women needed so they can produce next generation that has similar number as current population. The number is two plus additional 0.1 to accommodate tnose who didn’t marry.

TFR = 2.7 will simply lead faster population growth.

Why? To keep funding an expanding government, more welfare and company profits from expanding populations?

It's not about the population size but rather the population pyramid.

Canada is already giving their elderly a hard time.

For the life of me, I do not see the correlation as to how this is a blow to Elon Musk. He has an average of 3.75 children per baby mommas. That means he was right, and still is performing above par, and something tells me, that he has just begun to see the world's population growth even further.

We have a shortage of Elon's. 😋
