RECORD LOW BIRTH RATES LEADING TO POPULATION COLLAPSE IN EUROPE, MOST OF ASIA: MUSK

Fri 03 May 2024:

Elon Musk warned on Sunday that record low birth rates are causing demographic collapse, adding that such countries will suffer the same fate as several deceased civilizations.

Responding to far-right Dutch political analyst Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who advocates the ‘Great Replacement’ hypothesis, the tech entrepreneur stated that the notion fails to address the fundamental issue of low birth rates.

“Record low birth rates are leading to population collapse in Europe and even faster population collapse in most of Asia. Immigration is low in Asia, so there is no ‘replacement’ going on, the countries are simply shrinking away,” the Tesla CEO emphasized.

If this is not change, any country on Earth with low birth rates will become “empty of people and fall into ruin, like the remains we see of the many long dead civilizations,” the X owner claimed.

Vlaardingerbroek stated that the ‘Great Replacement’ is not a theory but a reality.

“White Europeans are being replaced in their own countries at an ever-accelerating rate and it will mean the end of our civilisation if we don’t turn things around,” she said.

The ‘Great Replacement’ theory has been widely criticised for its “blatant absurdity”.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s fertility rate dropped to a fresh record low in 2023. Countries like Japan and China are also grappling with low-birth rates.
