Musk: The expansion of the sun could lead to the extinction of all species

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk believes that the expansion of the sun will lead to the extinction of all species, including humans. But he claims that if life becomes a multi-planetary species, it could prevent that from happening.

Musk has expressed his position on a recent study that shows that humans are causing Earth's sixth global extinction disaster.

Biologists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, conducted a comprehensive assessment of evidence of an ongoing species extinction event to underscore this.

Robert Cowie, the study's lead author, said the sharp rise in species extinction rates and the declining abundance of large populations of plants and animals have been widely reported. But others disagree that these events amount to mass extinctions.

Coy notes that this denial stems from a distorted view that emphasizes mammals and birds over the invertebrates that make up a large part of biodiversity. Given that these species seem to make up a large portion of the world's species species, adding them is critical to verifying that we are currently in the midst of our sixth mass extinction.

The study's lead authors say humans are the only organisms capable of changing the environment on a large scale. Twitter user @Rainmaker1973 said that in the history of life on Earth, intense natural disasters have caused 5 devastating biodiversity extinctions. Some scientists now believe that the sixth mass extinction is happening and that it was entirely caused by humans.

Musk was surprised by the news. He responded on Twitter that all species would go extinct due to the expansion of the sun unless humans multi-planetariate life. SpaceX makes this a priority.

SpaceX is working on Starship, a high-tech rocket powered by the world's most powerful Raptor engine that comes from the desire to colonize and live on Mars.

While the world's richest man has been involved in SpaceX's projects, he rarely offers public dates. Asked how long it will take SpaceX to send humans to Mars, Musk recently declared that it could be between 5 and 10 years.
