Why is half this article about population decline? The writing also seems weird in places. AI generated, maybe?

It reads like ChatGPT with the bullet point styling removed. At least, the half of the thing Medium would let me read without signing in did. No Medium, I’m not creating an account or paying you to read AI copypasta garbage

Elon Musk has fired a significant number of employees across different instances. Specifically, Musk has fired over 6,000 people at Twitter since taking over the company, reducing the staff to around 1,500 employees. Additionally, Musk sacked around 3,700 Twitter employees in the first week of November after acquiring the company, and further layoffs followed, resulting in a substantial reduction in the workforce. Overall, considering these instances and others not explicitly mentioned in the provided sources, Elon Musk has fired thousands of employees across various companies and contexts.

This opening paragraph is absolutely written either by an AI, or someone with a 6th grade understanding of writing. It's painful to read.

That's an insult to 6th graders
