According to Elon Musk, World War Three isn't going to happen because of a single rogue leader. or even a conflict between nations.
It's not going to happen because of angry military incursions into one another's regions or territories, and it's not going to happen over economic tensions or even sanctions.
No, the head of both Tesla and SpaceX, who whether or not you agree with his politics is one of the most brilliant minds in the world, believes that Artificial Intelligence will be the root of World War Three.

Even Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the same in regards to Artificial Intelligence, and the coming race for supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">China, Russia, soon all countries w strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo.</p>— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/904638455761612800">September 4, 2017</a></blockquote>

“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind,” Putin was quoted as saying. “It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”

In fact Elon Musk says that even North Korea won't be the cause for World War Three, but that of North Korea even attempted to strike a sovereign nation that the United States and China would invade alongside South Korea and end the regime.

Elon Musk has continued to warn society about the coming threats of Artificial Intelligence to all of humanity.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">NK launching a nuclear missile would be suicide for their leadership, as SK, US and China wd invade and end the regime immediately</p>— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/904640183932301312">September 4, 2017</a></blockquote>

In July he stated that it is “the greatest risk we face as a civilization.” he went on to say, “I have access to the very most cutting edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned about it,” he said.

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Just last month Musk said the following <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/08/21/elon-musk-calls-for-ban-on-killer-robots-before-weapons-of-terror-are-unleashed/">in regards to the future war as a result of Artificial Intelligence</a>:
<blockquote>“Lethal autonomous weapons threaten to become the third revolution in warfare. Once developed, they will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend. These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked to behave in undesirable ways. We do not have long to act. Once this Pandora’s box is opened, it will be hard to close.”</blockquote>
