Elon Musk has raised concerns about declining birth rates, particularly in Europe and Asia. He believes that low birth rates, not immigration, are the root cause of population decline, which poses a serious threat to civilization. Musk’s comments echo previous statements he made in February 2024, when he expressed alarm about Japan’s record low birth rate, and in July 2022, when he declared underpopulation a significant threat to civilization.
The Republican Party’s use of the term “invasion” to describe the situation at the southern border has drawn criticism from immigration restrictionist groups like the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUSA. These groups argue that the term is inaccurate and incendiary, while Republicans maintain that it reflects the severity of the issue. The debate has also raised concerns about the potential consequences of such rhetoric, with critics linking it to recent mass shootings.
