I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birthrate and the rapidly declining birthrate.”
—— Musk, the father of six said at the Wall Street Journal's annual CEO Council Monday evening.
And yet, so many people, including smart people, think that there are too many people in the world and think that the population is growing out of control. It's completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers — if people don' have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.”
—— Musk continued.
It's not the first time Musk has warned about the declining birthrate of the global population. In July, the tech billionaire said low and rapidly declining birth rates are "the greatest risk to the future of civilization" on Twitter.![]()

Analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a note to investors in July that the "movement to not have children owing to fears over climate change is growing and impacting fertility rates quicker than any preceding trend in the field of fertility decline."
To support their argument, they pointed to surveys, academic research and Google data that shows climate change is directly and indirectly accelerating the decline in fertility rates.
Of course, if everyone stopped having children then humanity would eventually cease to exist. A fringe group of anti-natalists believe that's exactly what should happen, but most people don't share this view.
Indeed, many people see having children as a fundamental human right and one that can bring happiness and joy to families. Mooers, what do you think?![]()
