Musk advocates for increased reproduction to sustain the labor force but fails to support those raising children. Families face rising costs for survival while essential government programs, like Medicaid and SNAP, are being cut. Recent Republican legislation severely impacts those in need, risking vital healthcare access for chronic conditions like kidney disease and threatening local aid programs, leading to increased hunger and community crises. This situation reflects a broader systemic issue where economic policies favor the wealthy at the expense of vulnerable populations.
Musk's version of "save civilization" sounds a lot like "keep producing children so the labor force stays full," without making a single change to support the people actually doing the raising.
We're raising kids in a world where survival costs more than it ever did. Some of us are trying to avoid dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant; so no, we're not lining up to have baby number three just because a billionaire thinks it's our civic duty.
Republicans just passed their so-called Big Beautiful Bill, which cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid and SNAP programs that millions of Americans, myself included, rely on to survive.
This will devastate... seniors, babies, children, disabled folks, working families, and the communities that already carry too much. Hunger will increase.
