$特斯拉(TSLA.US)$ and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wants people to have more babies.
I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birthrate and the rapidly declining birthrate.”
—— Musk, the father of six said at the Wall Street Journal's annual CEO Council Monday evening.
And yet, so many people, including smart people, think that there are too many people in the world and think that the population is growing out of control. It's completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers — if people don' have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.”
—— Musk continued.
It's not the first time Musk has warned about the declining birthrate of the global population. In July, the tech billionaire said low and rapidly declining birth rates are "the greatest risk to the future of civilization" on Twitter.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a note to investors in July that the "movement to not have children owing to fears over climate change is growing and impacting fertility rates quicker than any preceding trend in the field of fertility decline."
To support their argument, they pointed to surveys, academic research and Google data that shows climate change is directly and indirectly accelerating the decline in fertility rates.
Of course, if everyone stopped having children then humanity would eventually cease to exist. A fringe group of anti-natalists believe that's exactly what should happen, but most people don't share this view.
Indeed, many people see having children as a fundamental human right and one that can bring happiness and joy to families. Mooers, what do you think?

由马斯克于2016年共同创立的Neuralink正在开发一种芯片，该芯片将植入人们的大脑，以同时记录和刺激大脑活动。它旨在用于医疗应用，例如治疗严重的脊髓损伤和神经系统疾病。
埃隆·马斯克在接受《华尔街日报》采访时表示，Neuralink希望在2022年之前在人体内推出第一批植入设备，等待美国食品药品管理局的批准，希望他们能够恢复四肢瘫痪患者的全身功能。
这位亿万富翁企业家在推特上澄清说：“我绝对不是说我们一定能做到这一点，但我越来越有信心这是可能的。”
Neuralink在2021年春季引起了轰动，当时看到一只猴子植入了Neuralink植入物的视频在心灵感应地玩电子游戏。
Neuralink 在猴子身上运行良好，我们实际上只是在做大量测试，只是确认它非常安全可靠，并且可以安全地移除 Neuralink 设备。我们希望明年我们的第一批人类（即四肢瘫痪者、四肢瘫痪患者等严重脊髓损伤的人）中使用这种方法，等待美国食品药品管理局的批准。”
—— 马斯克说。
Mooeres，你认为 Neuralink 的大脑芯片能否在 2022 年成功植入人体内吗？你会接受这种大脑植入物吗？
