Musk said:

“There are not enough people. I can’t emphasize this enough, there are not enough people. I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low grow rate and the rapidly-declining grow rate. And yet so many people – including smart people – think there are too many people in the world and think the population is growing out of control. It’s completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers, if people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble. Mark my words. Musk, who has six kids, said he’s doing his part to populate the Earth. I’m trying to set a good example. I’m trying to practice what I preach.”
