Several countries have taken significant measures to try to encourage people to have more children and combat falling birth rates, but the U.S. is not one of them. Although the Department of Transportation was recently directed to give precedence to “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average,” earlier this month.
Now Musk, who President Donald Trump tapped to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has vocalized support for tax incentives for mothers.
lemme guess. the law will be written in such a way that it very narrowly defines a situation where a father with multiple children with multiple mothers, and billions in unrealized ‘earnings’ each year, could split their own income between them, file jointly several times over, and end up getting back billions in earned income credit instead of paying in anything?
This is who is running your country
Dude looks like baron Harkonnen.
Not smart enough
Baron H. Was the bad buy in the first book, but if you keep reading that series you learn that having 1 all powerful leader is never really a good idea.
Just food for thought.
Sounds like they need children for the war machine.

Good fucking Criminey I hate this bastard. Bro just wants generations of cheap wage slaves for him and his buddies to harass. The world will become a much nicer place once he dies on a Ketamine binge or something.
I just feel like he doesnt do it, hed be more self aware and a better person, I think he lies to seem coll because ketamine was a cool meme for a bit
What happened to “Can’t feed them, don’t breed them”? Why do I feel this tax break would only apply to a subsection of the US population?
Grist for the mill.
Cool. SO those of us who can’t or won’t breed have to subsidize the ones who do. Fuck that shit.
We already do with a welfare system that incentivises un(der)employed single mothers with multiple children.
Even a married couple with multiple kids and minimum wage jobs can achieve a higher standard of living with entitlements than a single person with no kids, college education, and a job making above minimum wage.
Not that I actually give a shit what JD Vance thinks. But I do kind of wonder what JD Vance thinks waking up every morning knowing that he’s literally the vice president in name only and has no other function that hasn’t been completely taken over by Musk.
Vance was the arranged marriage. Musk is the trophy wife.
What things does the VP even do besides cast a vote in the event of a tie-breaker and prevent the destruction of the space-time continuum?
Reminder that Harris suggested a 6k tax rebate for parents of newborns, and even that isn’t really ideal but it’s the same idea as it helps offset lost wages and subsidizes childcare which is desperately needed.
And before you say “but why have kids if you can’t support them”— that’s irrelevant as far as society is concerned. Shit gets dystopian really fast when there’s no new people. We are supposed to finance education for similar reasons, too, as a functioning adult generation prevents … Well, all this crap we’re dealing with now.
Even better…enforce laws against unlawful termination of pregnant employees:
God Newsweek is bad. It’s fine to write that article, but you have to mention that Musk is working together with Trump and they’ve been pushing this bill that would raise taxes on families.
What kind of memory hole was the author operating in? You don’t have to focus on hypocrisy but you do have a journalistic duty to report it. That guy is a lying sack of s*** and you need to point that out if you want people to respect you and read your work in the future.
Turns out making the planet unlivable makes people not want to make more people.
Elon is a Ketamine addict who would have ODd in the streets if he wasn’t handed hundreds of billions of dollars on a silver platter.
👏 Progeny 👏 aren’t 👏 people 👏 They 👏 are 👏 a 👏 commodity👏
Line goes up.
