Elon Musk Warns of Severe Population Decline in South Korea

Elon Musk, the renowned American entrepreneur, recently expressed his concerns about South Korea's declining birthrate during a podcast appearance. He warned that if the current trend continues, South Korea could face severe population shortages in the future, potentially making it vulnerable to external threats without even needing a military invasion. Musk highlighted that South Korea's replacement rate is only about one-third of the required level, which he described as 'crazy.' He emphasized that within three generations, the country's population might drop to just 3% of its current size.
