China Experiences Potential Population Predicament: Musk's Perspective
Elon Musk Warns of Potential Population Decline in China
In a shocking revelation, Elon Musk, the driving force behind the U.S. government's activity optimization division (DOGE), has hinted at China potentially facing a population decline issue. As per TASS reports, Musk's concerns stem from China's shrinking population.
Low birth rates have been causing concern across the globe, with Musk considering it a long-term problem not only for China but virtually every nation on Earth, as he expressed on his social media.
Musk has previously raised red flags about the declining birth rates in European countries, and predicted the potential disappearance of entire nations due to demographic crises. In 2024, China's population reduced by a staggering 1.39 million people, reaching 1.40828 billion. This follows a decrease of 850,000 in 2022 and another 2.08 million in 2023.
While Musk hasn't delved deeply into China's population decline specifically in public forums, his broader views on global population collapse give us a glimpse into his worries. He has emphasized that declining birth rates in wealthy nations are a significant risk, potentially threatening civilization itself.
Musk has spotlighted East Asian nations like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, highlighting them as regions grappling with serious demographic challenges due to low fertility rates. Although Musk mentions Singapore's potential demise, he hasn't talked specifically about China in those terms.
However, with China's current fertility rate of 1.09 in 2023, well below the replacement level of 2.1, Musk's broader concerns about population decline appear relevant. Unfortunately, precise comments from Musk regarding China's situation are not documented in the available information.
