New Delhi: Elon Musk, the king of controversy, has sparked another one and now it is in Japan. He recently tweeted in response to a user's statement that without a higher birth rate, Japan would "eventually cease to exist."
The billionaire tweeted, "At risk of stating the obvious, unless something changes to cause the birth rate to exceed the death rate, Japan will eventually cease to exist. This would be a great loss for the world."
Musk's post sparked a barrage of sarcasm and outrage, with some questioning the statement's purpose and others siding with the Tesla CEO.
Others argued that low birth rates are a problem in many nations, including Germany, where Tesla recently opened a new factory, and that Japan was simply the first to be affected.
The country's population continued to fall in 2021 for the 11th consecutive year.
