SUMMARY
Tech billionaire Elon Musk took aim at Vice President Harris, calling her an “extinctionist” in response to a resurfaced video where she discussed young people's “climate anxiety.” Musk posted on his own social network X, "Shamala is an extinctionist. The natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all of humanity!” Musk was reacting to a September 2023 video shared by Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. JD Vance, where Harris spoke about high young voter turnout in 2020 being driven by climate change concerns. At Reading Area Community College, Harris explained how young leaders coined the term "climate anxiety," questioning future family planning and homeownership due to climate fears. Trump Jr. suggested Harris was implying young people shouldn't have children because of climate change, a claim Vance supported.
