Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Monday shredded the perennially wrong scientist Paul Ehrlich, saying he should be given zero credibility.

Ehrlich, who has consistently failed to predict the end of the world, spoke on “60 Minutes” Sunday and said “The next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we’re used to.”

Self-described energy expert Alex Epstein wondered on Twitter why the show featured Ehrlich, “the anti-human ecologist who has been 180 wrong for 55 years??!!”

“Ehrlich despises humanity,” Musk responded to Epstein. “Nothing he says should be given the slightest credibility.”

The only thing that can create a world-wide famine today, save a catastrophic, world-impacting natural event, is government.

Musk responded to Epstein. “Nothing he says should be given the slightest credibility.”

And by the Associative Law, neither should CBS/Pelley.

Ehrlich is a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

Herbert Hoover, one of Stanford University’s largest benefactors, would be very ashamed.

"How many people even know that Paul Erlich is an entomologist?"

So...he's sort of a biologist. Maybe he could help out that new dimwit Justice, what's her name...

I wonder if he ever paid off on that bet he lost to Julian Simon....oh never mind.

Since the 1960’s the population has doubled but food production has tripled.

There are now about 7 new agricultural revolutions which will make it possible to feed population 10-100 time the size of current world populations.

Indeed, see thread The Book That Incited a Worldwide Fear of Overpopulation ‘The Population Bomb’ made dire predictions—and triggered a wave of repression around the world
