Elon Musk has given an interview on a wide range of topics, including Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, Government, Free Speech, and what he says is the greatest threat to humanity, depopulation, and ultimately no humans at all:

Musk is concerned about the radical crash in human fertility which is occurring across the globe. Above all, he is alarmed at what he calls an Extinctionist Movement:"In the sort of extreme form of the environmentalist movement, people start to view humans as a plague on the surface of the earth, as a fundamentally bad thing, and with the implication that if all humans disappeared, somehow earth would be better off."
"I think at a fundamental level, you can think of things as a fight between expansionist and extinctionist philosophies. And that's what really matters. If humans go extinct or civilization collapses, whatever policies we may have are irrelevant."
"We must have an expansionist philosophy for civilization and for consciousness. We must seek to go beyond what we've done in the past to increase the number of humans," he said. "So, one way or another, this must happen."
Musk's final comments were "Go forth and multiply," which is basic wisdom for survival.
