Submission statement: Mercurial billionaire Elon Musk is famously prolific as a father: at last count, the man has sired [14 known children](https://people.com/all-about-elon-musk-children-11678749) — though there may be far more in the shadows — while frequently [expressing deep concern](https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-elon-musk-is-obsessed-with-americas-falling-birth-rate-everyday-americans-not-so-much-120056145.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACY8-FID8fnoxTAaCHQtraJTYGS1USbcN8z7gm337jACxxa_2lK5dtErPhlNLqKTNyvG6nIHxWCDYfu-66q8XMDW9NuXTbT2HYfdValJOTpzwlKJtOkoh5E6EtbZkhlSoZ0f-nVqqNnBT7Vysa4Ie6I8B9hAZHdtrz8hnYKA4TW4) about the [world’s falling birthrate](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clynq459wxgo).
So why is it that he’s been rolling out a [slate of AI “companions” via his company xAI](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/musk-leans-raunchy-grok-companions-teases-valentine-bot-rcna219430), which are clearly meant to draw on users’ prurient interests, and if successful sure to exacerbate [our increasing social isolation](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/10/technology/personaltech/technology-loneliness.html) from one another, and the relationships that eventually might bear children?
It wouldn’t be the first time that a person in power says one thing and thinks the opposite indeed
He’s concerned, he just is more concerned he’s not maximizing every penny of profit he can, Billions just isn’t enough, he needs trillions or what is the point of life…?
Eugenics, the word you are looking for is Eugenics. He want SOME people to have more children.
Because he lies, like all the time. He doesn’t actually care about anyone other than himself.
Because he clearly doesn’t view romantic relationships and having kids as being the same thing. Women are just vessels for his progeny, not people.
This article is very petty. It’s not like he own all the AI or the most popular one, neither is the goal of AI is replace relationships and to be honest the falling birth rates are not due to AI.
Yes the guy should be more criticized but that’s really dishonest.
Caring about birth rates does not equal caring about authentic relationships. Not surprising for a sociopath.
Deep down he is really looking for love and connection. Real people are confusing. Fake people are predictable and be controlled
To answer the question, he only cares about money. Just like any billionaire. Nothing he (or any billionaire for that matter) says can be trusted. Amassing that amount of wealth requires immense amounts of deception and exploitation. This is just an example of that. The paradoxical logic is just smoke and mirrors.
Elon musk can go fuck himself without worrying about how I may or may not reproduce. He doesn’t get a day in the matter.
The world is running out of peasants, peons, plebs, poors, servants, etc.. it maybe that Elon may try to manufacture them.
Because he’s dumb.
That’s the answer to most “why did Elon” questions.
You’re meant to breed with them in 6 years from now
He has enough money to end world hunger. The U.N. drew up an actual plan that he only has to spend $6.6 billion of his money to save 42 million people from hunger.
You know what he did instead? He donated that same $6.6 billion to charity. His *own* charity.
Musk can shove it with his ‘concerns’.
Because he’s surrounded by bootlicking incels. He thinks that it is a big enough market for a product.
Because gooners are the only ones with no shame to give a Nazi money besides other Naiz’s which aren’t’ currently capable of funding him.
Bc it’s all bullshit. Everything. It’s all bullshit with ulterior motives. It’s all distractions and bullshit to keep the chaos and further divide everyone
Elons thing has always been goon women to dump loads in and acquire them.
His real love is Robots.
Essentially his AI will be his home piece, and he’ll be out womanizing/incel simping.
It’s because he’s lonely and must force everybody around him to capitulate to him.
Musk is a scumbag. One day everyone will pretend they always thought so.
Just like a true fascist and eugenicist Musk wants the commons to stop spreading their genes so him and his fellow billionaires can spread theirs’ instead.
# If Elon Musk Is So Concerned About Falling Birthrates,
Why did he stand behind a presidential campaign which was worse on healthcare, education etc?
Because they can program the AI to never say no. They want to normalize compliance with authority
Because later he’s gonna make even more money selling robot girlfriends with robotic wombs.
Because he wants to corner the market with lonely people and sexbots/robot companions.
Whoever gets the first decent ai companion bot or whatever form it takes is going to be set for life.
Because he and all of the tech bros don’t actually like women. They don’t want people to be in relationships, they want women to be brood mares and men to be able to jerk it to big boobed waifu AIs on demand.
Why is the drug kingpin sober? And looks down on his customers for being addicted?
Business is business
Logic is not a driver for the guy, if it was he’d never have got tangled up in politics or with an administration that has policies that are antagonistic to his businesses. Tesla and anything Musk is associated with have suffered.
Because he is not the genius many people think he is.
oh god that photo is speaking encyclopedias
you have his weirdly named kid giving his kid version of the Hitler salute while riding on his nazi dads shoulders
then you have the the two cops who couldn’t be be more different in their energy, one being so PROUD to be walking next to “greatness” and the other looking like something the cat dragged in questioning his entire life up that moment.
and then you have what must be the nanny who seems to be thinking, “oh that’s not going to end well for the boy” and/or “i’m going to have to closely watch him with small animals from now on”
Am I wrong in thinking that the people who would accept this into their lives are already not considered the right “material” by women?
Everybody is thinking about the social consequences, but all I usually hear on these topics is that it’s a personal or moral issue, that a relationship is not somebody’s “right” to be solved socially. I’ve never heard of some great push to pair women up with the (presumably bettered) future AI-girl customer demographic.
I’ve never even heard of the theoretical idea that would make them desirable. By that I mean, if “losers” are ever talked about, it’s in discussing some objective statistics on the “loneliness epidemic”. And if there’s moralization in there, it’s that these men should get their lives in order so some unspecified population of women can get husbands. But I’ve never heard a personal desire from a woman for this to happen. Nor a plan or profile of such a person.
People can talk all they want about these subjects. It’s just complaining, not analyzing or planning solutions. So, I don’t see how AI mitigated loneliness is a new concern to be solved, if the original version was never to be either.
