Elon Musk has reignited debate over feminism and family life after posting on X this week that 'feminism and the lack of children has killed the happiness of so many women,' a claim that quickly drew backlash from critics who pointed to his own estranged children and personal history.
Musk has long argued that falling birth rates pose a civilisational risk, repeatedly urging people to have more children and warning that declining population growth could erode economic stability and social structures. His latest comment came in response to a viral post shared by an account known as Wall Street Mav, which featured an illustration of a smiling couple with two children alongside the caption, 'Imagine how much feminist propaganda it took to convince women that this is oppressive.'
