Musk, in August 2022, tweeted, “Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming.” He also proposed a solution to address the issue of resource scarcity to establish a human civilisation on Mars through colonisation.
According to the UN data, the global population will hit 8.045 billion by mid-2023. China has held the distinction of being the most populous country since at least 1950. India overtaking China is expected to have significant economic implications.
