Elon is very interesting guy, on one side he complains about birth rate, on the other side impacts people's mind to not have a kid, because they're not safe in their workplace and expects they must dedicate large part of their lives to his companies

  I am a fan, that's why saying he is interesting. Tell me it's not true?

    It's curious that you remain a fan despite being able to see his hypocrisy. I wonder why you haven't made the logical leap that it isn't worth being a fan of a hypocrite like this.

    Your comment elevates him to godlike status… you expect him to be managing humanity’s birthrate with his corporate decisions? He’s just running a company here, and by all indications, he’s struggling at it. It would be a violation of his job responsibilities, and get him in trouble with shareholders if he was doing anything other than trying to make the company succeed. Moreover, this is the basic challenge of running a business: if you are you afraid to make hard decisions, the company will collapse and every employee will be out of a job.

    You really think it's fair to make Elon Musk responsible for the global birthrate and population?

    He works a ton and also has about a dozen kids, so maybe it makes sense to him.

  I mean, it's completely fair to downvote that comment, because it's not entirely productive. That said, it's an interesting point. Musk makes no secret about how he feels people should be having more children, but at the same time he runs his companies in a way that makes it hard for people to prioritize their families. He intentionally pressures his teams to choose his business over the families that he insists people have.

    Honestly, it seems like a cognitive dissonance of the entire right wing in the US these days; they expect people to work ever harder to produce more and more GDP while they lament that people are having fewer children. In the end, there are only so many hours in a week and at some point people burn out.

If you work for Elon chances are you aren't interested in sexual activity (too busy working 110+ hours per week, no libido or time) or you live in an area where childcare is difficult to accommodate.
