Elon Musk accused Vice President Kamala Harris of wanting to see the extinction of the human race.
The SpaceX and Tesla boss jumped to Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance‘s defense as the senator received a slew of criticism for his ‘childless cat lady’ comments.
‘Shamala is an extinctionist,’ Musk wrote on his social media website X, formerly Twitter. ‘The natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all of humanity!’
It came in response to Vance’s tweet calling out a clip of Harris claiming young people have anxiety about having children because they are worried about the future of the climate crisis.
‘I’ve heard young leaders talk to me about a term they coined called climate anxiety, right?’ Harris said in a resurfaced video. ‘Which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children.’
Elon Musk came to the defense of vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance amid criticism over his ‘childless cat lady’ comments resurfacing
Vance suggested that liberals don’t want more children after sharing an old video of Vice President Kamala Harris claiming ‘climate anxiety’ is causing people to have less children
Vance, who became Trump’s VP candidate at the Republican National Convention this month, replied to the clip with: ‘It’s almost like these people don’t want young people starting families or something.’
‘Really weird stuff,’ he added.
Musk claimed that Harris and other radicals want to wipe the entirety of humanity off the face of the planet.
‘Shamala is an extinctionist,’ the billionaire wrote on X.
‘The natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all of humanity!’
Vance has been on the defense all week after comments he made to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in 2021 resurfaced and went viral.
Vance said in a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson that the U.S. is being run by Democratic ‘childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too’
Vance said in that interview that the U.S. is being run by Democratic ‘childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.’
‘How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?’ he added.
Vance insisted in the week since the comments reemerged that he does not hold a grudge against people who do not have children – especially as those who were unable to conceive have spoken out about the insulting comment.
