"Record low birth rates are leading to population collapse in Europe and even faster population collapse in most of Asia. Immigration is low in Asia, so there is no 'replacement' going on, the countries are simply shrinking away," the CEO wrote on Twitter.

Musk strongly warned that the current trend would lead to the "empty of people and fall into ruin, like the remains we see of the many long dead civilisations."
