Throwback: Musk explains why Europe keeps slumping

Elon Musk believes that Europe is a hell of a place that faces a “population collapse prospect.”

He also stressed the "shocking amount of censorship" that European liberal elites use to their own end, for instance, "releasing convicted pedophiles from prison in order to put people in prison for Facebook* posts." 

"How can this be real?" Musk asked at the end. 

Well, Euro bureaucrats can answer, but you won't really like it, Elon🥴
