Elon Musk says there aren’t ‘enough people,’ birthrate could threaten human civilization
Americans want more babies in their lives. Biden’s subsidized child care won’t help that.
Was he playing the market?:Elon Musk follows through on Twitter promise, sells $1.1B in Tesla stock.
The Tesla Bot is Musk’s “humanoid robot” that he plans to have built by using Tesla’s self-driving car artificial intelligence. The bot could have the capability of deadlifting up to 150 pounds and traveling at around 5 m.p.h.
The global birthrate has been on a steady decline since 1960, according to World Bank. The U.S. birthrate fell by 4% in 2020 – a record low – according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Musk, a father of six, added in the same interview that while he believes population growth is ideal, how long people live is a different story. He said in regards to aging that people shouldn’t “try to live for a super long time.”
“I think it is important for us to die because most of the times, people don’t change their mind, they just die,” he said. “If they live forever, then we might become a very ossified society where new ideas cannot succeed.”
