“Two options”: Musk said that humanity risks extinction.

Humanity needs to master interstellar travel, otherwise in the future it may disappear due to the expansion of the Sun or the collision of Earth with an asteroid, said American billionaire Elon Musk on social network X. In his opinion, the only chance to survive is to become a spacefaring civilization.

According to Musk, the greatest threat to humanity is the potential collision of Earth with an asteroid or the expansion of the Sun, which will lead to the disappearance of life on the planet. Therefore, he believes that mastering interstellar travel is the only chance for salvation and becoming a spacefaring civilization.

Recall that the company SpaceX, headed by Musk, plans to carry out the first unmanned missions to Mars in two years. The main goal of these missions is to test the possibility of the successful and safe landing of spacecraft on the surface of the Red Planet. If these experiments are successful, then in four years the first crewed missions to Mars are planned. Further, there are plans to increase the frequency of flights in geometric progression to create a self-sustaining city on Mars within 20 years.

According to researchers, Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire. He owns significant financial assets, which grow by 110% each year. This allows us to predict that by 2027 Musk's fortune could reach a trillion dollars.
