Elon Musk has a grim prediction for the future of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A \u201cpopulation bomb,\u201d as he puts it, will go off in the coming decades, when an increasingly-elderly global population clashes with declining birth rates around the world. This isn\u2019t the first time Musk talked about a worldwide collapse in human population, reports Business Insider, but now he\u2019s elaborating to say that we\u2019ll start to see the most dire effects by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMusk first broached the topic back in 2017, when he replied to the magazine New Scientist on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe world\u2019s population is accelerating towards collapse, but few seem to notice or care,\u201d Musk tweeted at the publication, which had just published an article on that very topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, Musk returned to the idea of a population bomb on Friday, replying on Twitter to a post about global overpopulation to argue that aging and a rift between demographics would be a greater problem by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
