Elon Musk Issues Birth Rate Warning For US
Newsweek ^ | Apr 22, 2025 | Isabel van Brugen

Elon Musk has issued a stark warning about the declining birth rate in the United States, following a recent report by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics which revealed that the number of births in 2023 fell to the lowest level in over 40 years.

Why It Matters Global birth rates are plummeting as political and economic uncertainty, as well as rising living costs, discourage families from having children. In the United States, the fertility rate has remained below the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman for years, raising concerns about long-term demographic sustainability.

The Trump administration is reported to be looking at ways to incentivize women to have more children in the United States.

What To Know

"Low birth rates will end civilization," Musk, the world's richest man, and reportedly the father of at least 14 children with at least four women, said on X (formerly Twitter), on Tuesday.

Hard working American citizens can’t afford to have kids today but minorities and illegals can afford them and they are having them because they are subsidized by the hard working taxpayer Americans.

I’ve has a theory for a couple of decades that the dems are well aware of the problem (that they have contributed to greatly) and that the open borders served multiple purposes, including ‘dewhitening’, global governance and buoying the tax base with more bodies, all while generating multiple imported generations of new democrats by groups that have babies.

There is a lot of supportive evidence out there.

I have consistently linked declining birth rates to sex with self.

Liberals did not put my hands or yours down there.

Pleasuring oneself not an act of love towards God or others.

Get married make babies a good idea but it will take something to reconfigure things in that direction.

Let it start with this grandfather.

I put it at dewhitening, as they believe that ALL of the planet’s problems are ultimately caused by White people (even though China would have advanced mankind to the same level, given their early progress), and thus White people are a VIRUS on the planet and need to be eliminated, and so EVERY country that they have control over is now being dewhitened.

The rest of what you stated they don’t care about as they are NOT DUMB and know that there is no way that they will be able to stay in power, once their dewhitening reaches a certain level, as the history in that regard is clear as day.

As to their future generations (and many of them do have kids), who cares, that won’t be their problem - a direct result of rejecting God.

Well, there have been 65+ million Americans who never made it out of their mothers’ wombs, and the demographic problem has been made worse by the elimination of any children those 65+ million would have produced.

Video surveillance captured the attack on a student at Washington State University in Pullman, WA.
Both attackers relived of their college jobs.
The instructor Patrick Mahoney is now facing assault charges.

Things are not going to get better until the court system becomes fair to men, and not unfairly automatically default-opposed to men.

Why?


Low birth rates and high abortion rates doomed the Roman Empire, barbarians took over, and it took 1300 years for civilization to catch up to where the Romans left off.

Seems like we'll repeat the collapse of the Roman Empire.

If America goes, this is it.

It's possible for China to fill our shoes. But nah. They're Communists. And their one child policy has doomed them.

Musk can take care of that problem single-handedly. And he can afford to pay all his baby mamas.

Bingo. But even beyond the entitled luxurious lifestyle, the dynamic between men and women has been severely damaged. Marriage and monogamy have been abandoned for homemade porn producers and consumers. Digital prostitutes and masturbating video gamers. The ramifications of Covid lockdowns will haunt us for decades.

Government should just get out of the way.

Encouraging illegitimate and single parent homes will not do us well.

Protect marriage protect the family prosper the economy and get out of the way.

I am sorry to say that the fruits of Elon’s Tom catting will not be coming up roses as we will see and are already starting to see.

A father is so much more than a paycheck. Kids need intact homes with viable marriages. Yes some overcome rough starts and some fail with good starts. But kids need a committed mom and dad and home we are not pets.

amen, brother. I can’t just accept that I’m being replaced, and that my replacements are being subsidized, I have to celebrate it. Put on those party hats. Even noticing it is a cardinal sin. I could be doxxed or fired or jailed.

interesting point re the Roman Empire as its my understanding that it was ultimately destroyed by immigration
