On July 9, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, an American electric vehicle manufacturer, said he planned to significantly improve the welfare of his companies in child care, but did not disclose specific details

musk said that because he had been worried about the possible decline of the world's population for a long time, he planned to significantly improve his company's childcare benefits. He hinted that specific implementation details might be released next month

musk is not only the CEO of Tesla and Rocket Company SpaceX, but also leads the tunnel excavation start-up boring and brain computer interface company neuralink. At present, musk is the world's No. 1 billionaire. Musk revealed his idea of increasing conservation benefits on his personal social media on Friday. Musk had said a few months earlier that he believed the birth rate in the United States was "unsustainable"

musk made this commitment at a time when Tesla was downsizing and facing legal disputes due to various problems in the workplace. In addition, when some employees of SpaceX expressed concern about Musk's behavior, the company chose to dismiss them directly

other well-known companies, including McDonald's and Goldman Sachs, have recently increased childcare benefits for employees, such as employees can apply for emergency childcare or enjoy paid leave benefits in case of pregnancy and abortion. A study released earlier this year found that 56% of the executives of more than 500 U.S. companies surveyed said that their companies provided or planned to provide childcare benefits, up from 50% a year ago

representatives of Tesla, SpaceX, neuralink and boring did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday. It is not clear what childcare benefits these companies currently provide

musk, 51, said that the musk foundation would donate "directly to families", but did not specify how such donations might be carried out

it was previously reported that musk quietly added a pair of twins in November last year. In fact, he had more children than previously disclosed. A Tesla representative did not immediately respond to questions about the report. Musk seemed to respond to these reports on Thursday. He tweeted that he was "doing his best to help solve the population shortage crisis"

musk often expresses his views on the decline of the birth rate in the United States on twitter. According to data released in May this year, the birth rate in the United States rose last year for the first time since 2014. As the birth rate in the United States is still at an all-time low, experts describe this growth as "a small fluctuation"

musk also said on Friday that he believes that the "collapse" of the birth rate is a threat to human civilization. (Chenchen)
