He has it backwards. C sections do not drive a large head circumference. A larger head circumference drives a higher need for C section.
Intelligence is not directly linked, however, to head size. There is a slight correlation but not enough to make a statistical difference. Intelligence has far too many other SIGNIFICANT factors (especially non-physical ones) for head size to be a key factor.
So Musk is passing on anecdotal links as if they were science. It is incorrect but he likely to convince a lot of people of is truth.
He’s a dangerous kind of liar. The kind of liar who uses things with a small kernel of truth. Don’t ignore him. Check on him. Spread facts. Learn to navigate your emotional reactions.
Peace.

I’ve been to a birth class with my wife, and we were explicitly told that C-Sections are in no way better than Vaginal delivery. There’s all kinds of pro’s and cons, but none of them are to do with a larger brain size.
Elon Musk is a stupid fucking asshole who would literally say he drinks his own piss because he probably would think it made him smarter. Nothing he says should be taken with any seriousness.

This is true. My head was too large so I was a C-section baby. Still dumb as rocks though. Just have a large head.

*Babies born vaginally are exposed to bacteria from their mother’s vaginal and fecal flora as they pass through the birth canal. This exposure helps babies develop a healthy immune system. Babies born vaginally also produce more protective antibodies after childhood vaccines than babies born by C-section.*

I remember when people thought Elon was this genius visionary whose progressive ideals would lead us to a brighter future
Then he bought into his own hype, decided to open his fat mouth, and everyone realized their mistake. Now the only person who thinks Elon is a genius is Elon himself. And a bunch of chuds I suppose

I like Elon. Because sometimes I feel bad about not accomplishing enough in life, but with him I can just look at an actual billionaire and think “Hey, I may not be a billionaire but at least I’m not as completely batshit insane as he is!”

Reading some of these comments. Lol smh.
Human brain size is indeed a birth problem and a primary reason why, prior to modern medicine, the maternal death rate during childbirth was so very high relative to pretty much any other mammal.
That said, Musk’s statement is a total logical fallacy that takes this out of context to arrive his desired answer. All a C-section does is limit darwinian pressure that would (a) create a preference for wider pelvic openings and/or (b) create a preference for smaller head size at birth, which could be through a lot of mechanisms.
So he can now point to the facts behind his statement and to his target audience and say “see, I know more than doctors do”
He wins no matter what, and doubly so because we’re all talking about his random bullshit.

C-sections do allow for larger head sizes. There are dog breeds that have no way of giving a natural vaginal birth because of how large their heads are. This in no way means that humans have evolved to the point where they require c-sections for babies with larger brains or that their larger brains would make them more intelligent.

First of all, that sounds like BS. Second of all, if all the obgyns get other jobs because they are too afraid to do their jobs in states where they could possibly be charged with a crime for doing their jobs who will even perform c-sections in the first place?
