Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and X, has made declining population numbers a personal mission, citing this as a greater risk than global warming. He recently highlighted South Korea's plummeting fertility rates based on World Bank data, attributing the decline to long working hours, low wages, and falling marriage rates.

“2/3 of Korea will disappear every generation,” Mr Musk wrote on X on Nov 27, retweeting a report from Think Global Health. The shared screenshot, based on World Bank data, shows South Korea’s fertility rate plummeting from over five births per woman in the 1960s to today’s record lows. The screenshot’s caption cites long working hours, low wages, and falling marriage rates as key factors.
This is not the first time Mr Musk, currently the world’s richest person, sounded the alarm about South Korea’s demographic trajectory. Mr Musk, a father of at least 11 children with three different women, has turned falling population numbers into something of a personal mission over the years, calling it “the biggest danger civilization faces” and “a much bigger risk than global warming”.
