Tesla CEO Elon Musk constantly remains in the headlines for his statements. Recently, he was in a lot of controversies regarding differences with US President Donald Trump. Now he has given such a statement about
japan, which is being discussed all over the world. He said about
japan that about one million
people can die here this year. The
tesla CEO further said that at this time only Artificial Intelligence can become a support for the
people here. He shared his thinking behind this on
social media X and said that the big difference between birth and death is the reason for this. This difference has increased a lot in the last few decades.
Elon Musk in the
news again
He has written that of course the decline in
population in
japan will be a big threat to the country, because there will be a reduction in the workforce and the pressure on the
health industry will increase. This will be a demographic change that can only be compensated with the help of AI, so that the elderly can be helped.
Musk said that it is not that Japan's
population has decreased only in recent times, but it is the result of the last five decades. Many experts and policy makers have already brainstormed on how to maintain economic balance amid demographic decline. Musk believes that this can be countered by using AI. From providing
health services to the elderly to its use in the workforce, the country can be rejuvenated.
It is worth noting that the data shows that the fertility rate in
japan is very low. Along with this, childcare is very expensive. These two reasons are considered to be the major reasons for the change in Japan's demography. According to the Japanese
government and
media reports, in recent years there have been about 9 lakh more deaths than births. Apart from this, the reason behind this change in Japan's demography is that
people delay
marriage and having children. There is difficulty in having children after growing old.
