And drive liberals up the wall?
Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy. After purchasing Twitter, his changes to the microblogging giant have aggrieved liberal users on a daily basis. Any expression of support for individual liberty or remotely conservative ideals by the engineer-turned-business magnate sparks instant backlash from the left.
Now, the world's richest man has gone even further with a provocative idea that's generating controversy across the political spectrum. (RELATED: Supreme Court Rejects Dramatic Election Proposal)
After saying, in part, that “the childless have little stake in the future,” Musk appeared to endorse the idea of reserving voting rights for parents.
Along with the obvious constitutional problems of imposing vast restrictions on universal suffrage, the proposal would likely give Republicans a decisive advantage in electoral politics, as studies show people with children tend to be more conservative.

The New York Post notes:
Father of 10 Elon Musk appeared to support the idea that voting rights should be reserved for parents after he claimed the “childless have little stake in the future.”
Musk, who owns Twitter, responded to a tweet Sunday that claimed “democracy is probably unworkable long term without limiting suffrage to parents.”
“Yup,” Musk tweeted.
Musk has repeatedly said that the collapsing birth rate is the greatest danger to preserving modern civilization.

No, but limit voting rights to working, disabled, and retired citizens. Not for welfare recipients, sneak-ins, or felons.
Exactly. Those not contributing financially to the country deserve no voting rights because they will always lean toward socialism because of the perceived hand-outs. All able bodied residents need to contribute financially.
We celebrate Fathers Day, Mothers Day, etc. But we have missed the most important Day in our History: Families Day.
This is the day that a man, marries a woman, and gives birth to their child(ren). That’s when a Family is born. The most fundamental insitution in our society.
In a family is where our citizens are educated on our values as Citizens of the United States under our US Constitution and as Citizens of a GOD loving and a powerful society. Full of opportunities in our vast territory. Raised with character and determination to be excellent human beings.
We need to celebrate the American Family as our most fundamental institution.
When you think about his statement logically, leaving out emotions and politics he is absolutely correct. Only parents have actual skin in the game. But first the Department of Education must be abolished because government has no business in the education of the citizens. Public schools have always been the lair of liberalism. All of the socially perverted political ideologies; socialism, Marxism, Communism, Nazism, Progressives Fascism have indoctrination as a cornerstone. Just consider the present population that has grown up under government control which leads directly to “indoctrination not education”.
