Does the world’s richest man really believe that the West might be saved by the same sexual practices found in a Chinese imperial court?
Elon Musk allegedly has at least 14 children with four separate women.
Musk is also allegedly building a series of properties – a baby compound some are calling it – to house his various families.
“A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far,” he tweeted in 2022. “There’s really no time like the present. Just have kids. You won’t be sorry. It’ll work out.”
If all these pronatalists want legions of children, perhaps it’s time they started being better fathers.

For conservatives, “family” is just a dog whistle for patriarchy. In other words, they’re just butthurt about womens’ lib and male heads of households not having absolute power to abuse their wife and kids.
Hey that’s not fair, it’s also a dogwhistle for homophobia. They’re butthurt about gay rights too lol
“Abolish the family” leftist here.
This is really referring to the modern nuclear family, not the entire concept of family. It’s so strange how liberals can acknowledge It Takes a Village and then get mad when we take that to its logical conclusion i.e. extended village family and chosen family.

The saying is that it takes a village to raise a child. The nuclear family doesn’t work, you need so much more than a single set of parents.
The nuclear family is a recent invention. It’s just a way to oppress women and atomize us as modern individuals.

The Left is typically critical of the “nuclear family” because most of us want the rest of the family back in the picture. It takes a village to raise kids and only in the last century or so has this notion of “two working parents can manage it” arisen.
So we want to abolish the family by making our families bigger, with cousins etc playing more of a role in our lives than Western media typically portrays.

Or to put a different spin on it, people on the left believe that just because someone is related by blood doesn’t actually make them your family. We believe strongly in found family - no matter what form that family comes in.
This thought is an existential crisis for sexists, racists, and assholes of every type, because it teaches people that they are allowed to leave their abusers and find happiness outside of tradition.
