Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk once again tweeted his warning about potential global population collapse due to low birth rates.
Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 1661488022000Musk had earlier said that he was helping combat falling birth rates after it was reported that he had twins last year with an executive at one of his companies.
"Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis," tweeted the billionaire tech entrepreneur, who has fathered 10 children.
For the unversed, India’s total fertility rate (1.9) is way below replacement levels (2.1) since 2019. This means India’s population will now decrease. For a country to survive and maintain its workforce/labour, it should always strive to have a fertility rate of 2.1, that is 2.1 kids per woman. A number below that could be catastrophic in the long run.
Meanwhile, Musk’s tweet sparked a memefest of sorts on Twitter.
