Elon cares about the declining birthrate, but he doesn't want to pay for it. Why care if he won't pay though? Some conspiracies say it's why Reps made abortions illegal: it's not about protecting babies, but ensuring the continuation of the lower class work force.

You can’t even pay people to have more kids
These countries tried everything from cash to patriotic calls to duty to reverse drastically declining birth rates. It didn’t work.

Yet, at least two factors reduce the likelihood of success of this theory in practice: (1) The squeaky wheel gets the most oil; and (2) Those that seek to injure others often simply use forbearance as an opportunity to do more damage.

Sometimes, turning the other cheek is NOT the answer.
