Mucha billionaire Elon Musk raised concerns about what he considered to be the most serious existential threat of humanity “declining birth rate”. In the X post, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX responded to a user’s report that claimed that women must have an average of 2.7 children to maintain the level of the population.

What does the message say?
Nawfal shared statistics, referred to happiness, and pointed out that the broadly accepted rate of 2.1 children per woman is now considered obsolete. He wrote: “Scientists now say that 2.1 children on a woman do not cut it-2.7 is the real number needed to prevent long-term extinction. Right now the US is 1.66 and most rich countries are even lower, including Italy in 1.29 and Japan.

Nawfal further explained that the revised character is responsible for variables, such as individuals who never have children and sex imbalances at birth.
“People who have children must have 3 children to equalize for those who have a 0 or 1 child or a population will collapse,” Musk said, reposting Nawfal’s contribution.
Musk joined the declining birth rate to the collapse of past civilizations, especially ancient Rome. He noted once: “Low birth rates were the primary factor in their fall – most historians were shocked in shock.”

Musk, who, as a mathematical, civilization crisis, has constantly warned of long -term consequences and greatly said, “If you do not believe me now, wait 20 years.”
Over the last two decades Elon Musk has begoted 14 children. He first became a parent in 2002 with the birth of his son Nevada Alexander, whom he shared with his then wife Canadian author Justine Wilson. Tragically Nevada died at the age of only 10 weeks. Musk and Wilson later had five other children together: Vivian and Griffin twins, followed by Kai, Saxon and Damian.
Does it reduce the rate of fertility around the world? Uns saying …
If you don’t believe me now, wait 20 years.
A new report from the UN Fund for the population fund (UNFPA), the UN Reproductive Rights Agency revealed that the low fertility rate is becoming increasingly common around the world. In their most direct statement of declining fertility, the agency warns that hundreds of millions of people are unable to have as many children as they want. Key reasons include high cost of raising children and difficulties in finding a suitable partner.

Low birth rate was the primary factor in their fall – most historians were shocked in shock.
The report on the state of the world population (SowP) from 2025 by UnFPA called “The actual crisis of fertility” stressed that the total rate of fertility of India has fallen to 1.9 birth per woman, which is under the spare threshold 2.1.
“India has made significant progress to reduce fertility levels – from almost five children to a woman in 1970 to about two today thanks to improved education and access to reproductive health care,” said Andrea M Wojnar, representative of UnFPA India.
