Elon Musk: “Celebrate having kids”

With US birth rates down, Elon Musk says it's time to step it up

Newsroom May 27 10:47

World’s richest man Elon Musk says it’s time to start celebrating kids again, according to a report from The Daily Wire. Musk shared his thoughts on America’s falling birth rate on Twitter.

“USA birth rate has been below min sustainable levels for ~50 years,” Musk tweeted, adding “Contrary to what many think, the richer someone is, the fewer kids they have. I am a rare exception. Most people I know have zero or one kid.”

Statista noted that In 2017 “the birth rate in the United States was highest in families that had under 10,000 U.S. dollars in income per year, at 66.44 births per 1,000 women. As the income scale increases, the birth rate decreases, with families making 200,000 U.S. dollars or more per year having the lowest birth rate, at 43.92 births per 1,000 women.”

Robby Starbuck, a Tennessee GOP congressional candidate, responded to Musk by claiming that “America needs a culture shift that celebrates the nuclear family & having kids.”

Musk pushed back, saying, “We just need to celebrate having kids.”
