I have now read the article (which OP didn't link to), and it does indeed seem like this narrative was unfounded and I was right. I could not find any support for eugenics in the article, and the interviewees even spoke against it explicitly.
You should read the article yourself, it's actually quite insightful.
Pronatalism is supported by Elon Musk and Peter Thiel which should raise alarm bells. Not to mention the links to other conservative techbro movements.
If they didn't want to be associated with something that has shades of eugenics, they might have chosen a different name for their philosophy.
