American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk has expressed his belief that Earth will become uninhabitable in just 500 million years, according to Tengri Life.
The founder of SpaceX and Tesla believes this collapse will occur due to the current rate of the Sun's expansion.
On social media platform X, one user "reminded" that the Sun will explode in five billion years and noted that Mars could be humanity's best chance for preserving life.
"The expansion of our Sun could render Earth uninhabitable in just 10 percent of that time (500 million years - ed.)," Musk wrote in response to this post.
Earlier in September, Musk stated that humanity must master interstellar travel, or it may face extinction in the future due to the Sun's expansion or a collision with an asteroid.
