Elon Musk once again raised alarm on Twitter because of the possibility of “population collapse”, which, according to him, the world might see in the near future. The 50 -year -old technology billionaire has voiced his opinion about this problem for some time now. This time, he took the example of China to increase his argument. “Most people still think China has a one -child policy. China has its lowest birth rate last year, despite having a policy of three children! At the current birth rate, China will lose ~ 40% of people every generation! The population collapses. (SIC),” Musk Tweeted as a response to the BBC article
The article said that the population of Asian countries grew from 1,41212 billion to only 1,41260 billion in 2021 – a record of low increase was only 480,000. From 2.6 in the late 1980s, the birth rate of China had dropped from 2.6 in the 1980s to 1.5 in 2021, this report was highlighted. Covid steps that are tight for the past two years have been associated with a decrease in numbers. This country has stopped one policy in 2016.
Musk’s comments came a day after he said: “We clearly don’t have too many people. The earth can survive many times the human population and the ecosystem will be fine.”
Last month, he had – during the interview – emphasized that “population collapse was the biggest threat to civilian”. In another example, he has tweeted: “Contrary to what many people think, someone who is richer, fewer children they have. I am a rare exception.”
Some people think that having fewer children is better for the environment. The environment will be good even if we double the population. I know many things the environment … Japan has the lowest birth rate. Having children is very important to maintain civilization. We don’t Can let civilization shrink, “Musk said.
