Elon Musk Touts No Tax For Mothers Who Have Multiple Children: 'Great Policy' - eviltoast

Several countries have taken significant measures to try to encourage people to have more children and combat falling birth rates, but the U.S. is not one of them. Although the Department of Transportation was recently directed to give precedence to “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average,” earlier this month.

Now Musk, who President Donald Trump tapped to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has vocalized support for tax incentives for mothers.

    Children are the future generation. As much as musk is a shit hole, you’re also a selfish bastard for not wanting to allow children to grow up secure. Do you hate paying for school?

      Surely you recognize that this incentivizes greedy people (who are probably bad parents) to have more children more-so than it incentivizes responsible people?

      From my perspective, anyway, I feel that this is more likely to cause more children to suffer.
