Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter), has reignited a global debate on demographic shifts and population decline as he responded to a video of a controversial statement made by a Pakistani man.
In the video, a man claimed to be a Pakistani migrant can be seen warning a Danish man that Danes will soon be “exterminated” in their own country, replaced by Pakistanis due to their higher birth rates among immigrants.
He claims, “We shall stay sitting on your hearts for the rest of life man, we have got 5 children and you have only 1 and 2.” He further asserts, “In the next 10-15 years there will be more Pakistanis than Danes in this country.”
“Danes are just 5 million and soon you will be exterminated. Look at Swedes, look at Norwegians, look at Finnish. We are in millions…” the man stated.
In the video, another man, allegedly a Pakistani, can be heard saying: “I got married and I am also having five kids tomorrow. So, go and give birth to more children man.”
Musk responded to the video on X, stating, “His math is correct.”

This endorsement aligns with Musk's long-standing concerns about global population collapse, which he has previously highlighted as a significant threat to civilisation. He has warned that declining birth rates could lead to economic stagnation and labour shortages, potentially undermining societal structures.
Musk's comment has added fuel to the debate, with many questioning the implications of such demographic trends and the role of immigration policies in shaping national identities. His endorsement underscores the urgency he places on addressing population dynamics and their potential impact on future generations.
