According to Elon Musk, global warming is one of the biggest risks to civilization, but it isn’t the biggest.
In his opinion, falling birth rates will contribute to a population decline that will lead to population collapse.
The 51-year-old CEO of Tesla, who has nine children of his own, tweeted this morning his thoughts on falling birth rates.
It’s not the first time the 51-year-old has expressed concern about the global underpopulation crisis.
“Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming,” Elon Musk tweeted this morning. “Mark these words,” he said in a follow-up tweet, adding: “And I do think global warming is a major risk.”
