Musk also added that he’s “not aware of any secret technology to combat aging.”

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has some strong feelings when it comes to our fate as a civilization.
During an interview at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit on Monday, Musk warned that letting people live longer — or, presumably, forever — through new technologies may actually be a really bad idea.
“It is important for us to die because most of the time people don’t change their mind, they just die,” Musk said at the event. “If you live forever, we might become a very ossified society where new ideas cannot succeed.”
