Elon Musk says there's a battle of 'humanists' vs. 'extinctionists'
2023-10-08
[BLAZE] Wealthy business magnante Elon Musk has suggested that there is an ideological battle of "humanists" versus "extinctionists."

"The real fight is not between right and left, but rather between humanists and extinctionists," Musk wrote in a post on X.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas agreed with Musk's assertion. "Clearly true. Today's radical Left is like Thanos, snapping his finger to eliminate half of humanity. Today's Left embraces anti-human policies like the Green New Deal, uncontrolled crime, sterilizing children, unlimited abortion & destroying the nuclear family," Cruz wrote.

Someone else replied to Musk's post by writing, "Oddly, the ones wanting to eliminate others don't want to be eliminated themselves."

"Yeah, if someone is keen to have fewer humans on Earth, they should start with themselves !" Musk responded.

Musk also agreed with an individual who opined that "The anti-human & anti-natalist agenda is woven into the discourse of nearly every top political issue."

#4  I suggest, let the extictionists extinctify themselves. Problem solved.
If you really believe the world needs less people, kill youself for the greater good.

#3  It was only a couple of years ago that blockchain was going to "change everything." It's still around but you hear nothing about it anymore.

AI will be the same.

#2  I recall when computers were introduced to the public. More freedom, more vacation time and improved standard of living. JP Morgan sings the praises of AI. Currently the corporate world is actively employing the uses of AI to reduce management overhead. Self checkouts, no employee's in fast food chains. Walmart just put cashiers back because theft went threw the roof. California just required a 20 dollar/ hour wage. Bye bye employees.

#1  'Extinctionists'....

An incorrect term of reference. Should read genocidal maniacs or enlightened Herrenmenschen" (master humans). Both elected and non-elected in a league for global dominance and control.
