Elon Musk is suggesting that childless people have "little stake in the future" and perhaps should even not be able to vote.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/america...rights-b2369096.html

The problem with this is people with children will vote for the interests of theirchildren not all children.

The childless may in fact be able to see what is in everyone's best interests and vote accordingly. Elon is trying to "save" democracy.

If democracy can indeed be saved it needs to be saved from old and new media and the limited attention spans now of humans as well as artificial intelligence.

In short, democracy long term is fucked. We need alternatives.

People are normally jealous of childless couples. They have less restrictions and go on holiday as and when they like etc.

Musk is a pro-transhumanist

I think you would have to have particularly horrible children to envy those without them.

spot on WYOT

Good grief. Maybe even the childless had best batten down the hatches from Musk's incoming jack boots and toy chainsaws. It just confirms it for me, that he's a complete idiot. And I for one am delighted to be childless. Imagine raising a monstrosity like Musk and believing only money equals success. The guy has zero compassion or imagination. An automated money machine. That's not success. It's dead.

He appears to have no feeling or regard for what makes life worth living; for anything of value. Everything is an algorithm. Cold and ticking. I pity the poor man. Like so many, he will live and die in a state of utilitarian indifference and ignorance.

I wonder how many childless women are banned from Bay City Rollers gigs for pretty much for stalking? Looking at the photos of the late Les, he looks awkward and looks at her with disdain. I think he was just trying to humour her the best he could.

Should anyone take notice of this bloke when it seems most of his own children don't want a bar of him?
There are also numerous reasons why couples don't have children.
Claims like Musk's are incredibly creepy. A bloke who wants a world fashioned in his image.
Let him go to frigging Mars and set up his ideal state there (but he can pay for it himself)

Every day he reveals himself as a full blown Fascist and now emulates Adolf Hitler who exhorted Germans to
breed although with America's Greatest Welfare Queen it's probably because he just wants to sell more of his crap cars.
As it is, the world probably needs less people as it consumes resources at a rapid rate.
