'Make more Italians,' Elon Musk says as star guest at PM's political conference

[Prairie Gates]

Italy has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and Musk urged the crowd to “make more Italians to save Italy’s culture,” a particular focus of the Meloni government.

...

Meloni sat in the front row taking photos of Musk, who she personally invited. Meloni founded the Atreju conference in 1998, named after a character in the 1984 film “The NeverEnding Story.”

Meloni is a fan of fantasy and has been vocal about her love for J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings,” and during her youth, she attended Hobbit Camps, which were set up by the post-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano for young right-wing politicians like herself.

“Lord of the Rings” is often described as a pillar of Italy’s post-Fascist far-right parties.

1. Tell you what, Elon, get pregnant and have children yourself leave the women out of it

You’re such a genius maybe you can figure out how to invent something that allows men to give birth, because otherwise this problem is not gonna be solved by you or any men. The reason women have fewer children is because they have more education now. And the fact that some men are just so disgusting and repulsive who would want to have children with them.That’s it

2. Musk is also engaging in white supremacist rhetoric here

The demand that (white) women have more children to preserve (European) culture in the face of (non-white) immigration is a core white supremacist belief. Musk is deeply racist. This is really on par with Trump's "poisoning our blood" thing, but the Musk fanboys on the left/libertarian side will make excuses for him.

4. Yep, this is where racism and misogyny join hands

They really are two parts of the same thing

5. Musk has 10 kids from three women.

He thinks there is a "underpopulation" crisis in the West.

That Elon Musk?

Tesla CEO And World's Richest Man Elon Musk Is Fighting To Avoid Paying Child Support To Ex-Girlfriend Grimes

Musk is trying to prove that Grimes lived in Texas so he can minimize child support payments

Elon Musk is using ex-girlfriend Grimes’ tweets to prove to custody courts that she primarily lived in Texas despite her claims that she lived in California. This distinction is important, because Texas has a cap on maximum child support payments where California has no maximum cap.

No cap, this billionaire with a “B” is fighting to minimize child support payments to the mother of three of his children, and is thus fighting for his kids to have less access to his grossly abundant financial resources, dependent on the outcome of the custody battle.
