On January 18, 2022, Elon Musk took to one of the world’s largest social media platforms (Twitter) and shared: “We should be much more worried about population collapse.” His tweet earned 195K Likes, 5,314 Quote Tweets, and 20.5K Retweets. He followed his first comment with two additional tweets, noting first, that: “UN projections are utter nonsense. Just multiply last year’s birth by life expectancy. Given downward trend in birth rate, that is the best case unless reversed.” And, second: “If there aren’t enough people for Earth, then there definitely won’t be enough for Mars.”

In March, Joseph Chamie wrote an opinion piece on U.S. population growth for a publication. Along with being an opinion contributor for The Hill, Chamie is also a consulting demographer, a former director of the United Nations Population Division, and author of numerous publications on population issues, including his recent book, “Births, Deaths, Migrations, and Other Important Population Matters.” In his published article, Chamie swan dives into U.S. population growth by quoting the 1972 report by the U.S. Commission on Population Growth and the American Future: “In the long run, no substantial benefits will result from the further growth of America’s population. The gradual stabilization of the U.S. population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to America’s ability to solve its problems.”
