Musk made a comment when cornered on this subject a few weeks back, he didn't have an answer because he's an idiot, but he did mention a book. I think that's the book they've all read, that presents what they expect to happen. And, I expect is hand-waving bullshit.

I can't find the post. Does anyone remember what book he referenced?

EDIT: Maybe this was it:

On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Read this book and give it to all your friends.

“Survival of civilization depends on it!”

The book in question is titled Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind by Gad Saad.

The explanation on Amazon reads: “What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected… The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline.

“Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free.”

    The rich and GOP would read that as coddling minorities and immigrants, since they are automatically criminals in their eyes.

    When in reality the book is talking about the rich and GOP who are literally criminals and rapists.
