Yes. Musk, and alot of the right wing crowd, seem to subscribe to bio-essentialism, which reduces the only purpose of human life down to procreation and passing down their genes.
Anyone who cannot, or does not do this is deemed a failure, e.g. trans people, intersex people, gay/lesbians, infertile women or men, old people.
Musk is a father of 14, and has issued multiple “warnings” that low birth rate is most pressing issue, and that people should reproduce as much as possible.
Exactly this. Their misogyny plus this gross bioessentialism means that they believe that the fundamental Purpose of women is to act as baby incubators. We are not even people to them — the only thing of value is our wombs, so people who cannot or will not be an obedient baby factory are literally worthless in their eyes.
It is gross beyond belief. I never planned to have “home-cooked” children, but weirdos like this are a big part of why I’m on the waitlist to be permanently sterilised. I wish that I could see my uterus as a neutral thing — like a vestigial organ or something. Alas, people like this turn what should be a neutral facet of biological reality into something deeply political.

Capitalism requires infinite growth. If population declines, thats less work that can be exploited to acculmate more wealth.
