During a recent interview with the satirical publication Babylon Bee, billionaire Elon Musk seriously spoke about environmentalism, clean energy, and fossil fuels.
The podcast hosts asked Musk if he agrees with fellow environmentalists about population control being a prerequisite for combating climate change.
Musk disagreed with the assertion and responded, “Earth is far from overpopulated—far, far from overpopulated.”
The South African-born entrepreneur and father of seven recently said civilization will crumble if people don’t have more children.
Instead of population control, he recommended moving to “sustainable energy generation and consumption.” He offered three solutions: energy sources, battery storage for continuous power, and sustainable transportation of the electric variety.
