At the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Elon Musk warned attendees that civilization could end if there is a single world government.

“I know this is called the ‘World Government Summit,’ but I think we should be a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government,” said Musk. “If I may say, we want to avoid creating a civilizational risk by having — frankly, this might sound a little odd — too much cooperation between governments.”

Musk further explained that, “While Rome was falling, Islam was rising, so you had a caliphate doing well while Rome was doing terribly. And that ended up being a source of preservation of knowledge and many scientific advancements.

So I think we need to be a little conscious of being too much of a single civilization because if we are too much of a single civilization then the whole thing may collapse.”

Musk added his message was of peace and not of war, stating:

“I’m obviously not suggesting war or anything like that. But I think we want to be a little wary of actually cooperating too much – It sounds a little odd, but we want to have some amount of civilizational diversity so that if something does go wrong with some part of civilization that the whole thing doesn’t just collapse and humanity keeps moving forward.”

Musk added later on Twitter that the World Government Summit, “seemed like the right venue” to share this opinion.
