A social media post falsely attributed inflammatory comments to Maye Musk regarding poor people and her son’s factories. The post claimed she advocated for impoverished individuals to have children specifically to provide workers for Elon Musk’s manufacturing facilities.

However, the reality of Maye Musk’s recent Fox News appearance painted a completely different picture. During her interview, she discussed the importance of having children from a broader societal perspective, expressing concern about younger generations postponing parenthood due to economic challenges. She emphasized that “children add value to your life.”
The topic aligns with her son Elon’s ongoing commentary about population trends. The Tesla CEO has repeatedly warned about the dangers of declining birth rates, suggesting that “mass extinction of entire nations” could result from decreasing fertility rates in many countries.

The context of Maye Musk’s television appearance was actually centered around promoting her latest book and discussing bipartisan support for her son’s DOGE initiative, which aims to reduce government spending inefficiencies. The interview, conducted by Rachel Campos-Duffy, never included any discussion about factory workers or recommendations for specific economic classes to have children. Thorough research revealed no evidence of Maye Musk ever making comments connecting childbearing to her son’s factory workforce needs.
