Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk

What if I tell you that “we need more humans” in the world?

I’m not saying this, these are the words of the world’s two revolutionary billionaires, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Let me give you more context behind it.

Recently, Jeff Bezos appeared in an episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast. In the podcast, the founder of Blue Origin said that he and Elon Musk are like-minded people.

He doesn’t really know Elon Musk, but he liked the idea of forming a friendship with him.

When he was asked about the future of humanity in outer space hundreds and thousands of years from now? In response to this question, Jeff said, “I would love to see, you know, a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins…Our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy.”

Elon Musk’s thoughts are very similar to Jeff’s as he also wants humans to be multi-planet species.

He highlighted the issue of the underpopulation crisis on Earth. According to Musk, the declining birth rates in most nations presented “the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”

He raised the issue again while attending a political festival in Italy staged by PM Giorgia Meloni.

He told to the attendees, “It’s important to have children and create the new generation.”

“As simple as it sounds, if people do not have children there is no new generation,” Musk added.

Conclusion…

Population rise in India could be its biggest challenge, but the world may need more people. People who are passionate enough to build or create something new for the welfare of humanity.
