The billionaire just dropped another pump on social media: according to him, the 8 billion people on Earth could fit on a single floor in New York.
Even crazier: if you were flying across the country and tried to throw a water balloon at someone, you would most likely miss it… because the planet is practically empty.
Musk's theory is that living in a big city deceives you. It makes you believe that the world is crowded, but the reality is that most of the planet is completely uninhabited.
A perspective quite different from what we are used to, isn't it? The question is: does it have some truth or is it another one of its controversial takes?
