Tesla CEO Musk said the world still needs oil and gas, and sounded the alarm of "population collapse"
Elon Musk told reporters at a conference in Norway on Monday that in the short term, he believes people need to continue extracting oil and gas, or human civilization will collapse.
Asked whether Norway should continue to drill for oil and gas, Musk said he believed some additional exploration was now necessary, adding that "one of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and a sustainable economy, which can take decades to complete." "
Elsewhere, Musk repeated his concerns about low birth rates at the conference, echoing comments he made on Twitter late last week about the risk of a "demographic collapse." Musk said,"I think it's important that people have enough children so that our civilization can survive in the world." "
