Commenting on Elon Musk’s “population” tweet, Nick Cannon — who, again, is about to be a father of eight, according to People — tweeted, “Right there with you my Brother!” Cannon punctuated his support with a fist up emoji. Now, we’re no scientists or whatever, but it doesn’t seem like two dudes just impregnating people willy-nilly is a sustainable approach to global population growth, but anyway. Cannon’s comment didn’t go over great with the internet.
“End earth. It’s time,” reads one quote-tweet. “Men rly look at their women as breeding stocks it’s disgusting,” reads another. Another person, in all caps, tweeted, “You both need to be neutered OMG.” Not everybody took these interactions seriously, however. Or at least, many people chose to treat the whole interaction as a joke. Cannon’s comment also received its fair share of “LMAOs” and cry-laughing emojis. “This might be the funniest thing ever tweeted,” one person wrote in a quote-tweet.
Meanwhile, Musk himself continued to “tweet through it” as they say. He tweeted, “Population of Mars is still zero people,” and then, “I hope you have big families and congrats to those who already do!” But really, after Cannon has weighed in, what more is there to say?
