“It is important that people have enough babies to perpetuate civilization,” he said from Norway
The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who has become a father ten times, today called on the world to make more babies, judging that the population decline is one of the most pressing challenges facing the planet.
“Trust me: the baby crisis is a serious problem,” said Mr 51 year old businessman to reporters in Stavanger, southwest Norway, where he will attend an energy conference.
Answering a question about the biggest challenges facing the world, the founder of the American car industry Tesla mentioned the transition to renewable energy sources, but said that the world should continue to extract oil and natural gas to sustain civilization while developing renewable energy sources.
“I realistically think we need to use oil and gas in the short term because otherwise civilization will collapse,” he said.
Asked if Norway should continue drilling for oil and gas, Musk replied: “I think some additional exploration is warranted at this time.”
“One of the greatest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and a sustainable economy,” he continued, noting, “This will take decades to complete.”
Immediately afterwards he was quick to refer to birth rates, “one of the perhaps less obvious things he is concerned with”.
In Western societies, as well as in countries with very large populations such as China, the birth rate continues to decline due mainly to the aging of the population.
“It’s important that people have enough babies to perpetuate civilization,” he noted.
“Yes, make more babies” she urged. “At least make enough babies to maintain the population. We don’t want the population to decrease so much that we eventually end up extinct.”
The three-time divorced billionaire has fathered 10 children, one of whom died at 10 weeks old. Also one of his children, a transgender girl, recently filed an official request to change her surname at the same time as her gender transition to cut all ties with her father.
Also, US newspapers recently revealed that he fathered twins in November with a Neuralink executive, a few weeks before the birth of Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, the daughter he had with singer Grimes, with whom he also has a son, ‘X Æ A-12″.
