Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has fathered 10 children, said on Monday the world needs to "make more babies" -- and keep digging for oil.
The richest man on the planet, who has repeatedly warned that low birth rates posed a "danger" to civilization, said ahead of an energy conference in Norway that the world is facing a "baby crisis".
Asked about the greatest challenges facing the world, Musk cited the transition to renewable energies but also said the birth rate was "one of my favourite... things to be concerned about."
"We don't want the population to drop so low that we'll just eventually die," Musk, founder of American electric car manufacturer Tesla and SpaceX, told reporters in Stavanger, southwest Norway.
"At least make enough babies to sustain the population," he added.
He also said the planet still needed new fossil fuel sources.
"I think realistically we do need to use oil and gas in the short term, because otherwise civilization would crumble," he said, adding that "some additional exploration is warranted at this time".

He goes too far on the population scare. It is true that there will be a vast population decline due to urbanization, feminism, homosexulality, and general leftist nihilism, but that only describes the most liberal 40-60% of a population. The others are more religious and family oriented and will survive in a lesser state.
...and burrito coverings.
leftists: heretic!
apples oranges
a plague is not the same thing as a low birth rate
Should be their theme for election 2022...with all the Roe blathering.
Higher wages are happening now due to lack of working population. The economy adjusts.
I know some good looking (much younger) babes that love donations from someone over 60.
LOL. Lack.
We have a wage shortge and not a labor shortage.
I think the first 6 (one has died) were from marriage and the others are bastards.
Oil yes.
Babies, just some places but not many.
You are talking about donations from the bank accounts, not the testicles, right?
You need to get out more.
Certainly there is a black jive drug dealer somewhere who has more kids.
I remember an episode of The Maury Show a few years back-—
an 18 year old black male was being tested for 3 babies paternity on that one show.
HE WAS the father of all THREE-—which put his known TOTAL at that point===18-———
18 years old with 18 paternity tests proving fathering 18 kids-—and NO job—Not more than 10th grade education—and he was laughing.
ALL those kids were being supported on welfare by taxpayers.
WE have UNDER EDUCATED idiots demanding $15 an hour or more.
NONE of them can get a job filling water tanks at a dairy farm.
Fixed it.
The planet has plenty of oil, natural gas and uranium. And they’re not finite.
