Elon Musk's Call for Increased Birth Rates and Reconsideration of Fossil Fuels

Elon Musk, speaking at a political festival in Rome, urged people in developed countries, including Italy, Japan, and France, to have more children in order to reverse population declines threatening their economies. Musk emphasized that immigration alone cannot solve the demographic problem and called for a new generation to be created. He also expressed support for legal immigration but advocated for more vetting of immigrants' credentials. Additionally, Musk discussed the climate crisis, stating that while he considers himself an environmentalist, he believes there is an exaggeration of the short-term impact of climate change. He also addressed the issue of advertisers leaving his platform, X, suggesting that some were influenced by the "woke" ideology. Musk further touched on the topic of artificial intelligence, calling for regulations and a referee to control its application globally.
