Elon Musk reveals the environmentalist viewpoint he says has become total madness
"There are 8 billion people on Earth and it would be better if there were none. I'm like, 'hey buddy, you can start with yourself. See if you really want to make a difference'"
"That's like a crazy viewpoint. That's like literally saying, let's genocide humanity. How can you say that with a straight face? That sounds like total madness"
"In the limit of environmentalism, it becomes like an ingrown toenail. A toenail's fine, but not if it's warped and ingrown. It's just gone too far"
"Humanity is not a blight on the face of the Earth"
"Even with climate change, life on Earth will still continue. The calamities Earth has suffered where life continued, gigantic meteorite impacts, super volcanoes, continents drifting all over the place"
"There've been times in Earth's past where it's been like a total snowball or absolutely sweltering hot. We had many extinction events, but life continued"
"We don't see the dinosaurs now, but they had a good run for 100 plus million years"
"Even if there's catastrophic climate change, life continues. It just may not be life as we know it. It may not be humans, it'll be something else"
"What we're talking about with climate change is not a threat to all life on Earth, but really maybe a threat to humans, a dislocation if low-lying countries end up underwater"
"Over time we need to move to a sustainable energy economy. We can't just keep taking billions of tons of carbon from deep underground and putting it in the atmosphere and expect nothing will happen forever"
"But we also don't need to be alarmist about it and super negative and massively disrupt people's lifestyles"
"People can continue to live a normal life. They shouldn't feel guilty about being human or having a stake. It's fine"
