The richest man on the planet named the main threat to the future.
Elon Musk believes that this is not a nuclear war or a pandemic.
The businessman believes that the main threat to humanity is associated with a significant drop in the birth rate throughout the world.
The entrepreneur shared his opinion on his page on the social network he owns.
He drew attention to data from the UN Population Division. A new study by demographers states that the average birth rate has been falling significantly worldwide since the 1960s.
Musk said the falling birth rate will pose a serious challenge to human civilization in the foreseeable future.
According to the businessman, humanity has not encountered such a problem before and the outcome is more difficult to calculate.
Musk is among those concerned about the world's falling birth rate.
He noted earlier that this problem could lead to the disappearance of entire countries. The businessman cited Japan as an example.
