Elon Musk gives three reasons why humanity is under threat – Marca English

Elon Musk likes to make predictions about the future of the human race, amongst other things, and on this occasion he decided to express some concern about a series of factors that threaten it. The CEO of Tesla and Space X has come out with three key reasons why humanity is in danger.

The tech tycoon outlined the biggest threats to human survival in comments published at the weekend. The first of these is the birth rate, which, in his opinion, is the main concern and something he has spoken about in the past. Artificial intelligence and religious extremism complete his top three.

"I spent a lot of time talking about the birthrate thing. That might be the single biggest threat to the future of human civilisation." Musk said in an interview with Mathias Dpfner.

"Most people in the world are operating under the false impression that we've got too many people. This is not true. The birth rate has been dropping like crazy. Unfortunately, we have these ridiculous population estimates from the UN that need to be updated because they just don't make any sense."

He also went on to talk about "artificial intelligence going wrong" and the so-called rise of "religious extremism."

Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, thanks to Tesla's stock market growth. He managed to surpass Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, last year as the richest man in the world, and as a result he has a net worth of 234 billion euros, according to Bloomberg.

For years, the arrival of man on the red planet has been one of the great obsessions for NASA, which has spent decades researching the possibility of achieving such a milestone... First, the founder and CEO of SpaceX is working to enable his Starship to land on Mars. Musk has set a target date of 2024 or 2026 for man's arrival on the moon and 2029 for Mars.

"I would be happy if humanity has a self-sustaining city on Mars because then, probable lifespan of humanity is much greater," Musk said.

"I think we really just got this little candle of consciousness, like a small light in the void. And we do not want this small candle in the darkness to be put out."
