Are We Running Out of People? Elon Musk Sounds Alarm | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Are we running out of people? Elon Musk is sounding the alarm. Countries like Singapore and South Korea are facing potential extinction. With fertility rates crashing below replacement levels, entire nations might vanish by 2100. From Japan selling more adult diapers than baby diapers to China's population decline, this isn't just a local problem—it's a global emergency. What's causing this demographic collapse? Rising living costs, career pressures, and changing social norms are reshaping our world. What does it mean for our planet? Palki Sharma explains.

Cost of living increases, house prices rise
salaries are low
Food is expensive
People have no saving when getting old, life is so hard now.

[saviofrancisfernandes]

The rich wolves are angry because the poor sheep are not reproducing.

[Bill]

I live in Thailand and have never seen so many Singaporeans moving here. They say the cost of living there is unsustainable.

[eeg]

In my lifetime I remember everyone panicking because of global over population and not being able to feed everyone! Why must we live in constant fear and anxiety?

[lawrencemunthali]

When people are being fed poison and encouraged to abandon family for selfishness then this is the outcome...greed is the reason

[rachaconda]

Declining poppulation is good for normal human beings not good for billionaires

[Mr_Pussi]

Declining population is good for everyone except the Billionaires. 😂 These people become Billionaires by selling their products and services to billions of people. Hence they need population to keep them rich.

[freeman]

We have to educate the masses. Those living below poverty line in most countries are still having more children. If we don't improve public education the majority of the population will be born in poverty.

[marshinz]

They need your kids to power THEIR machine….

[WarriorofMountains]

Rich are angry and worried not because they care but they won’t have cheap labor anymore

[ramadatta]

I can say for Singapore, the cost of living has doubled in ten years. House rental takes 50-60% of one person's salary. So much stress in jobs as well and a need for both husbands and wives to work.

[william_marshal]

I lived in Singapore from 1962 - 1965. The population then was just over one Million, today 60 years later the population is over five million, hardly going extinct Elon!!!

[coconutmix]

I would rather live in a country with a lower population but everyone is living well compared to an overpopulated nation with rampant poverty and crime.

[natsumidesu]

Running out of people means joy to Mother Earth 🌏

[nicst]

Less crowded
Already crowded everywhere

[Machado_Almeida]

Excellent analysis, I have never seen an analysis as well structured as yours. Look, I have been investing in S&P 500 and cryptocurrencies since 2023, I have a total profit of 355 thousand dollars, I am very grateful for all the knowledge and information you have given me.

[namnam]

For most of human history the world population was below 1 billion people prior 1800. Maybe it's time for human civilization to make more space for nature and other species. The balance between wild life and humans is only possible if human civilization actually shrinks. What has happened the last two centuries is abnormal and put biodiversity at risk. It's time for humans to get back to normal. 1-3 billions people on Earth would be just fine.

[SensibleApproach]

Everything is business for these people. They don't give a #hit if humanity go extinct they are worried about their profits.

[felixthecat]

I'm happy to move to Singapore to help solve this problem.

[cunninr]

Why is this considered a problem. Arguably this is a good thing for future generations.
