(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-free speech tech mogul Elon Musk slammed a woke news outlet after it shamed parents for having children.
In a September 14 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk condemned the Los Angeles Times for degrading those who wish to bring children into the world over the claim that doing so may increase “climate change.”
“Extinctionists want a holocaust for all of humanity,” Musk declared.

The post was in response to a September 11 article by the Los Angeles Times titled “It’s almost shameful to want to have children.”
The article, written by a professor of “gender and sexuality studies,” questions the morality of having children, considering the current political and “climate” situation.
“American society feels more socially and politically polarized than ever. Is it right to bring another person into that?” it questioned, suggesting that it would be better not to exist than to live in a society with social tension.
The author interviewed seven young people, who the author claimed, “have more climate change knowledge than most people do.” Out of the seven, five did not want to have biological children, while the two who were unsure struggled “with whether it’s morally OK to have children.”
“With climate change, we’re the driving force of things breaking down, but then also, the planet’s going to do what the planet’s going to do.… So … it almost feels, like, kind of shameful to want to have children,” one said.
The article’s anti-life message is becoming increasingly commonplace among leftists and reflects the plans laid out by the World Economic Forum to radically reduce the world’s population.
While some climate activists have promoted the idea that the world’s population must be restrained in order to sustain its existing people, numerous studies debunk that claim as well as claims that the earth can only hold 8 billion people or fewer.
Musk has been a longtime advocate for higher birth rates, warning that a “collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces, by far.”
In 2022, Elon Musk, pointed out that America’s total fertility rate has been below replacement for approximately a half-century.
An August report found that the U.S. fertility rate reached a historic low in 2023, with fewer Americans are having children than ever before, a trend that experts have warned could lead to societal collapse.
