Elon Musk is not a man who minces words. Whether he’s revolutionizing space travel, electric vehicles, or government efficiency, he always speaks his mind. And in a recent interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, the billionaire entrepreneur laid out two dire warnings that should have every American paying attention.
Musk, a father of 13 and the CEO of multiple companies, has plenty to juggle. But according to him, two issues tower over all others: America’s declining birth rate and the nation’s weakening global influence.
A Civilization on the Brink
“Well, there’s a lot of things that I suppose that I worry about. And some of these things will seem esoteric to people. The birth rate is very low in almost every country, and unless that changes, civilization will disappear,” Musk warned.
He pointed to the United States and South Korea as prime examples of countries failing to replenish their populations. And he’s right—the numbers don’t lie. America’s fertility rate has plummeted from 122.9 births per 1,000 women in 1957 to a mere 54.5 in 2023. At this rate, the future workforce and economy are in serious jeopardy.
Yet, this crisis gets little attention from politicians more focused on importing new voters than securing America’s long-term survival. While liberal elites push destructive cultural narratives that discourage family growth, Musk is one of the few sounding the alarm on what should be a national emergency.
America Must Stand Strong—Or the World Falls
Musk didn’t stop at demographics. He also expressed deep concerns over America’s declining strength, warning that if the U.S. collapses, so will Western civilization.
“America is the central column that holds up all of Western civilization… If that column fails, it’s all over,” he told Baier. “You can’t run off to New Zealand or some other place. It’s over. So either we strengthen that column and make sure America is strong, and we’ll be strong for a long time, or that roof’s coming down.”

With America saddled with a $36 trillion debt, corrupt bureaucracies, and a government that seems more concerned with funding Ukraine than protecting its own borders, Musk’s concerns are justified. The Biden administration’s reckless spending and weak leadership have put the country on a dangerous path, one that could lead to economic ruin.
Trump: The Leader America Needs
Despite these grim warnings, Musk remains optimistic. He believes America still has the potential to remain a beacon of freedom and prosperity—but only with the right leadership. And in his view, that leader is Donald Trump.
Musk’s acknowledgment of Trump as the best option to restore America’s strength speaks volumes. Unlike the disastrous Biden administration, Trump has proven he can cut waste, secure the border, and put America first.
Elon Musk is one of the brightest minds of our time. When he speaks, we should listen. The future of our nation depends on it.
