Elon Musk reignited global concerns over population decline by highlighting projections of sharp demographic changes by 2100. India's population is expected to drop by 400 million, falling to 1.1 billion, while China faces an even steeper decline of 731 million, reducing its population to 731.9 million. Conversely, Nigeria is forecasted to surge to 790.1 million, surpassing China as the second-most populous country. Experts attribute these trends to declining fertility rates, aging populations, and emigration. Musk labeled population collapse as "humanity’s greatest threat." Nations like Indonesia and Pakistan may see declines, while African nations like Congo will experience growth.
