On August 13, 2021,entrepreneur and business magnate, Musk, visited the plant under construction in Gruenheide near Berlin, eastern Germany.
Musk wants people to have more babies.
Musk told a Wall Street Journal event that there were not enough people. There are not enough people.
The billionaire said that low and rapidly declining birth rates are one of the biggest risks to civilization.
A growing number of people are deciding not to have children due to concerns such as climate change and inequality.
Musk said that too many people think there are too many people in the world and that the population is growing out of control.
Musk urged people to look at the data. Civilization is going to fall if people don't have more children. I want you to mark my words.
In a note to investors in July, analysts at Morgan Stanley said that the movement to not have children due to fears over climate change is growing and impacting fertility rates quicker than any preceding trend in the field of fertility decline.
They pointed to surveys, academic research, and data from the internet to support their argument.
The number of births in the US fell in the nine months following an extreme heat event, while a study of 18,000 couples in China found that particulate pollution was associated with a 20% increased likelihood of infertility.
Humans would eventually cease to exist if everyone stopped having children. A fringe group of anti-natalists think that is what should happen.
Many people see having children as a fundamental human right and one that can bring happiness and joy to families.
