Elon Musk revealed the extinction event he thinks will wipe out all life on Earth

Elon Musk is worried about humanity’s future.

Musk a record for seeing what’s coming.

And now Elon Musk has revealed the extinction event that he thinks will wipe out all life on Earth.

Musk says an expanding sun will eventually consume the Earth 

Elon Musk is a futurist who looks at the world and views matters from a completely different perspective than everyone else.

For years, Musk has evangelized about colonizing Mars.

President Trump strongly supports this effort, even dating back to his first term in office.

On April 6, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order stating that the Space Policy Directive-1 of December 11, 2017 “provides that commercial partners will participate in an ‘innovative and sustainable program’ headed by the United States to ‘lead the return of humans to the Moon for long-term exploration and utilization, followed by human missions to Mars and other destinations.’ Successful long-term exploration and scientific discovery of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies will require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources, including water and certain minerals, in outer space.”

The President reiterated his support for a mission to Mars in his second inaugural address.

“We will pursue our Manifest Destiny into the stars,” President Trump declared.

Putting a man on Mars wasn’t a space race imperative against a geopolitical foe.

Nor was it an attempt to stretch the bounds of human imagination and understanding.

According to Elon Musk, it was a matter of the survival of humanity.

“Mars is life insurance for life collectively,” Musk said during an interview with Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters.

Musk explained to a dumbstruck Watters that the sun would eventually expand to the point where it would consume the Earth.

“So, eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. The sun is gradually expanding, and so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization because Earth will be incinerated,” Musk went on to say.

Musk said humans had two choices: live on multiple planets or face extinction via a giant ball of fire.

“I’m hearing this for the first time. No one’s ever told me the sun is going to burn—” Watters replied.

Musk replied he was stating a simple scientific fact and not trying to scare Watters with some campfire ghost story.

“It’s not a disputed fact,” Musk responded.

“I’m not disagreeing with it. I’m just saying I didn’t know this was our destiny to get roasted by the sun,” Watters shot back.

Musk quipped that once the options were laid out on the table, he wouldn’t face much opposition to the idea of colonizing Mars.

“Yes, and I don’t think there’s anyone who would disagree with me,” Musk joked.

Musk detailed in numerical terms how long the Earth has left to exist, and that the planet was in the late stages of its life cycle.

“If Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, which is what the fossil record suggests, then Earth only has about 10% more life in it before it is, before it gets so hot that life is impossible,” Musk detailed.

Musk said Mars could exist as a resupply hub and life insurance policy, but humanity had to get on the ball.

“Mars is sufficiently self-sustaining and can grow by itself if the resupply shifts from Earth stop coming for any reason, whether that is because civilization died with a bang or a whimper,” Musk continued. “But if the resupply shifts are necessary for Mars to survive, then we have not created life insurance. We’ve not created life insurance for life collectively.”

Musk told Watters that the good news was that Earth still had about 450 million years left as an inhabitable planet.
