Elon Musk defended Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) on Sunday, supporting Vance amid controversy over his past remarks and criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance, who has been under scrutiny after resurfaced comments from a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson went viral, had criticized Democrats and corporate elites, referring to them as “childless cat ladies” who want to make others as miserable as they are. Despite not apologizing, Vance clarified that he does not hold a grudge against cats or those who are unable to have children.
Amid the backlash, Vance shared a video clip posted by Donald Trump Jr., featuring Harris discussing the climate anxiety felt by many young people. Harris mentioned that this anxiety sometimes leads individuals to question whether it makes sense to have children. Vance commented on the clip, suggesting that there seems to be an agenda against young people starting families.
In response, Musk labeled Harris an “extinctionist,” stating that her views could lead to a catastrophic outcome for humanity. Musk criticized Harris’s stance, emphasizing his belief that global overpopulation is not a problem and arguing instead that more children are needed to sustain civilization.
