Musk called the aging process a solvable problem for scientists.

American entrepreneur Elon Musk expressed confidence that the human aging process will cease to be a problem after the discovery of its fundamental causes. The businessman announced this on January 22 during his speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

"I think when we figure out what causes aging, we'll find that it's incredibly obvious and it's not some subtle thing. The reason I'm talking is that all the cells in your body age at almost the same rate," said the founder of Tesla and SpaceX. The video is published by Bloomberg.

The businessman noted that he had not seen a single person with one old left hand and a young right. In his opinion, the biological aging process suggests that there is a specific mechanism that scientists will be able to take control of in the future.

Such a premature process can cause melanoma and other cancers, experts have warned.

In December 2025, Science Daily magazine reported on a study by the Tokyo Institute of Gerontology. Japanese scientists have found that an increase in the efficiency of mitochondria can help slow down aging and increase life expectancy. For the work, transgenic mice were created that produce more of the COX7RP protein throughout their lives. The results showed that the rodents lived an average of 6.6% longer than normal.
