‘Have 3 kids’: Elon Musk warns of population collapse due to falling birth rates
cancel

New Delhi: Billionaire Elon Musk, who frequently urges people to have more kids, has again warned that ‘population will collapse’ unless there are more babies to make up for those who have no or one child.

Musk was responding to a post on X referring to a study that claimed that every woman needs to have 2.7 children to help humanity sustain.

Supporting the point, he said ‘people who have kids do need to have 3 kids to make up for those who have 0 or 1 kid or population will collapse’.

Expanding his idea, Musk linked the collapse of ancient civilizations to low birthrate, adding that this reason however was ‘Shockingly overlooked by most historians’.

He was referring to how declining fertility played a role in the fall of the Roman Empire, according to NDTV.

It is reported citing The New York Times that Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women.

Many people online responded to Musk’s comments with one user saying that ‘Sounds like it’s time to create X dating’.

Another person said ‘My 24-year-old daughter and her husband would love to have children but sadly they just can’t afford to’.

Echoing the same thought, another person said that most people cannot afford a home these days, adding that ‘maybe that’s why they’re not having children’.

Debate surrounding low fertility comes amid reports that average number of children per woman in US has dropped to 1.66, with Italy and Japan recording even lower, at 1.29 and 1.30 respectively.

However, raising children today is considered be more demanding financially than ever before, according to the report.
