Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla, “sounded alarm bells” about fertility issues in a recent interview.
He mentioned that Japan’s population fell by 600,000 last year, a situation that could eventually cause Japan to “disappear”. he warned,The U.S. could face a similar fate to Japan if the sharp decline in fertility rates does not improve.
Musk said he has been “ringing the alarm bells” on fertility issues for some time. “I’ve been screaming for kids,” he said, who has eight children himself with multiple wives. “Where do you think people come from?”
Last year, Japan’s population fell by more than 600,000 as problems such as a falling birth rate and an aging population intensified.
“What is this?” Musk joked during a conversation with Tesla owners in Silicon Valley. “Where are the storks?”
Musk said, “What is usually the case is that once the birth rate starts to decline, it accelerates.”
Musk warned that the current population trend is not optimistic.
Japan’s demographic change can be said to be a leading indicator, he said. Japan’s population fell by 600,000 last year.
The local population declined for the 11th year in a row last year, by 644,000, according to Japan’s interior and transportation ministries.
Among them, the number of deaths in Japan last year was 609,000 more than the number of births, and the number of immigrants was 35,000 more than the number of immigrants.
Official Japanese data also showed that the proportion of the population aged 15 to 64 was a record low of 59.4%, while the proportion of the population over the age of 65 was a record high of 28.9%.
Musk warned that if the trend continues, Japan will disappear entirely, “hopefully not.”
“A lot of people think that the current population will make the planet unsustainable,” Musk said.
“That’s not the case at all, the population density is actually quite low,” he stressed.
Musk also said that as society gets richer, couples have fewer children.
