One of the richest entrepreneurs in the world, Elon Musk is a name that works to open new doors in the field of technology every year. Musk, the owner of innovative companies such as SpaceX and Tesla, drew attention to the fact that science must have some limits. Speaking to the media outlet The Wall Street Journal, Musk argued that ‘immortality’ would be extremely harmful to humanity and that people should die.
Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon, who came to the agenda with million-dollar investments in the field of immortality, also faced a cynical reaction from Musk on this issue. Referring to Bezos’s ‘plaintiff’ personality, Musk tweeted, “If his research doesn’t work, he will sue to death!” he said. Now, an explanation has come from Musk as to why death is necessary for humanity.
‘If individuals do not die, humanity cannot develop either. ‘
Stating that he is not aware of any technology that promises anti-aging or immortality at the moment, Musk is an entrepreneur who acts with the idea that new ideas will carry humanity to a better future. For this reason, he believes that this goal cannot be achieved with “stereotyped” mindsets. “It’s important that people die because a lot of people don’t change the ideas they have. And then they die. If we lived forever, the society we live in would be closed to new ideas and ossified. In his statement, Musk clearly expresses his opposition to the idea of immortality.
Musk, who is also the father of six children, argues that “more children must be made” for civilization to survive. The billionaire entrepreneur, who said, “The rapidly falling birth rate around the world is one of the biggest risks for humanity,” points out that thanks to immortality, there will be more and more elderly people who cannot have children, and this will reduce the birth rate.
