Elon Musk: If We Solve Longevity, the People in Power Would Always Remain in Power

Elon Musk: If we solve longevity, the people in power would always remain in power.

“Death does play an important role. I think you really could evolve humans to live much longer, most creatures to live much longer. But over time, Evolution has found that it's better for organisms to have a finite life. That death brings renewal, essentially.

And I think we do need to be cautious about trying to solve longevity in a live-forever type sense, because I think our society, our culture would ossify and the people in power would always remain in power.”
