I am aware that the use of such source is frowned upon. Nonetheless, the elonjettracker dude got busted from X© and now has his own sub. Interesting content to say the least, and it does help put things into perspective. Also i hope Lemmy implements flairs as a feature, this post could thus use a discussion flair, to signal that such content is up for debate.

    “Have more kids to save the culture” seems 100% at odds with saving the planet, as does expending 51 tons of CO2 to make the statement.

    If everyone lived like Elon the planet would be ruined and the only hope would be colonizing Mars…but there’s no way to get everyone off the planet, especially if we have 11 kids each.

    I just don’t see a coherent ideology except “save the planet long enough for me to off it.”

      He probably doesn’t think, deep down, that everyone should have 11 kids, or at least not thatceveryones 11 kids should be saved. Just the special (i.e. rich), elite (i.e. rich), and exceptional (i.e. rich) people.

      Musk justifies his large number of children by appealing to a false conspiracy theory about whites being replaced by minorities. It’s not pretty.
