Elon Musk supports limiting the rights of nonparents to vote
Elon Musk wrote on Twitter in support of limiting the rights of nonparents to vote in the latest controversial stance for the tech billionaire.
On Sunday, Musk wrote “Yup” in response to Twitter user @fenasyl, who said, “Democracy is probably unworkable long term without limiting suffrage to parents. Helps solve the procreation problem, too.”
In earlier tweets, Musk, the owner of Twitter and father of nine living children, wrote “the childless have little stake in the future,” in a thread started by reportedly anti-Muslim user Amy Mekelburg.
Mekelburg, whose account is banned by Twitter in France and Germany, posted a video of a Muslim imam whom she says was promoting a jihad in France that would make it an Islamic country.
“He is right,” Musk said in response to the video, without elaborating. Musk’s tweet about the “childless” was a response to another user who baselessly said “thanks to the white female vote” in response to the video.
A 2019 survey conducted by the European Union in France found that 47% of the population was Christian, 40% had no religion and 5% were Muslim.

Musk, who is also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was criticized by users over the weekend for limiting the amount of tweets that they can view. The move was in response to “extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation,” Musk said.
