Elon Musk said that child-free people should lose the right to vote

What a tool. He said that if you aren't a parent then you "have little stake in the future". He agreed with someone who was agreeing with him who said "Helps solve the procreation problem too" by saying "Yup". This is sick. Child-free individuals maybe can't get pregnant. Maybe they can't afford children. Maybe they had a child who has died. Maybe they recognize that it isn't something that they would be good at or enjoy. An individual's worth has nothing to do with being able to have a child and guess what? Child-free individuals pay taxes too! This is also coming from a man who has 9 children of his own (some with bizarre unpronounceable names and one of whom has disowned him), who has fired employees for taking paternity leave, who has fired employees mid-IVF cycle, and who has almost eliminated the company's IVF benefits. Yeah he doesn't seem like the most "pro-parent" person to me.

I've got a lot of respect for Musk's business achievements and his ambitions for the future. But he's developed a bad habit in recent years of saying the most stupid things in public - almost like a teeneaged edgelord who's desperate to draw attention to himself.

Make kids affordable with tax credits for each child and build affordable housing!!! Maybe people will be glad to have more kids.

From another couple who is child-free, this is ridiculous. Enjoy your day.
