Civilisation might “dwindle” unless people start having more children, says Elon Musk




Elon Musk has warned that people must start having more children or civilization may be in jeopardy.

The tech visionary tweeted:

“USA birth rate has been below min sustainable levels for ~50 years,” Musk tweeted, along with a graphic that showed the country’s total fertility rate in 2021 was below the replacement level of 2.1.

The multi-billionaire founder of Tesla also tweeted:

“Contrary to what many think, the richer someone is, the fewer kids they have. I am a rare exception. Most people I know have zero or one kid.”

Summing up his advice in reply to a tweet by Robby Starbuck, a Tennessee Republican running for a House seat in Congress, used Musk’s tweet to call for a “culture shift.”

Musk tweeted:

“We just need to celebrate having kids”.
