Looking at his current kids, I don't think they're going to form up as HIS legion....

Declining population, my ass. There were less than 4.5 billion people on the planet when I was born. That fash-hole is only worried that white people will represent a minority of the future population. Nothing more.
Decline population is an actual thing...? Not defending this asshole or anything but your statement is seemingly based off of a lack of information.
Birth rates in many developed countries are incredibly low well below maintenance levels. Meaning that aside from immigration the population in most developed countries is actually going down quite rapidly.
Which given the way our societies and financial systems are structured generally means some form of disaster for those countries if such decline occurs.
There's even a pretty good recent video talking about what this looks like in South Korea

Blue indicates below replacement levels:
For those that haven't seen it, this is a great digestible video of the problem
Well, we're going to have to figure out how to level off or shrink our population eventually. Might as well do it now while there are still some wild animal species that haven't gone extinct.

Still
one billion in 1804
two billion in 1927
three billion in 1960
four billion in 1974
five billion in 1987
six billion in 1999
seven billion in 2011
eight billion in 2022
Already too many for my taste.
And no to all, don't react with irrelevant "there's enough food for..." or Malthusian bla bla

So, don't bother you with the downside of what's actually going to happen? What's in the middle of happening? You're just going to do a little cherry-picking, then tell us don't bother you with facts?

You can already see it in real time by looking at the demographics in South Korea and Japan. The only reason the numbers are offset is that a few countries are still net positive enough to offset them.
Our great-grandkids are in for one hell of a ride. If we let it drop enough, they'll be in forced breeding situations.
A world with a lot less people sounds like a dream TBH.
No overcrowded cities, no chasing animals of their land or destroying it for resources, etc..

I will only refer to him as "The inseminator" from now on
"Sperm Jar" might be more apt.

We're in dire need of some italian plumbing.
God and I thought the plot of the Fallout TV show was absurd with the "Bud's Buds" shit but it's literally real
They had to find inspiration somewhere...
I find it weird that he can be like that and still be alive. Does he bring security to absolutely everywhere he is?
It's easy to forget just how much money a billion dollars is, let alone hundreds of billions.
You could hire three hundred people at a very generous salary of $250k/year. 8 hour shifts, that gives you 100 people guarding you 24/7. That would $75 million/year. You could do that off the investment income from a single billion dollars. Pay them the salary more typical of a security guard, like $50k/year, and Musk could be surrounding 24/7 by one hundred thousand security guards, and it would cost him $15 billion/year. He has enough wealth to afford that if he really wanted to. The man could take a cue from ancient Rome and commission his own army if he wanted to.
We need to eliminate billionaires. No one should have this type of power.
He also wouldn't even pay that and syphon money from his companies as business expense either way.
I am not surprised. Elon is an accelerationist who believes that the next social turmoil will definitely be coming. But since it is going to happen, he thinks it is better if it comes sooner rather than later.
