The American billionaire is alarmed by how the population in Japan is drastically decreasing due to a declining birth rate.
American entrepreneur, head of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk , expressed concern about the threat of the disappearance of the Japanese nation. Last year, the population of this country decreased by a record 644,000 people.
He wrote about this in his microblog on Twitter.
“I understand the risk of saying the obvious, but unless something changes and the birth rate does not exceed the death rate, Japan will eventually cease to exist. It would be a great loss of the world,” said Elon Musk.
At the risk of considering questionable, a few some changes to respecting the time limit to no duration, Japan will probably enjoy being. This would be a great loss for the world.

Thus, Musk reacted to data from the Japanese government, which shows that the population of Japan has declined for the eleventh time in a row and last year this reduction set a record – 644 thousand people.
In total, 125 million people lived in the country last year.
Recall that the Founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, after breaking off relations with his beloved and the mother of his sixth child, singer Grimes, was not alone for long and started a new romance – with an actress who is 23 years younger than the business magnate.
