Elon Musk issues chilling warning to this Asian country, says it will lose 1 million people by 2025, not China, India or South Korea but..
New Delhi: In a significant statement, Elon Musk has issued a stark warning about Japan's demographic crisis. Saying that the Asian giant country 'will lose almost a million people this year' and suggesting that artificial intelligence (AI) could be the only viable solution to reverse the trend. Notably, Japan is facing its sharpest population drop on record, with government data showing roughly 900,000 more deaths than births in the past year. What has Elon Musk said on Japan?
In the recent development, Musk has stressed the decline was 'set in motion half a century ago' and not caused by technology. Why is Japan under crisis?
Reports have it that Japan is facing its sharpest population drop on record, with government data showing roughly 900,000 more deaths than births in the past year. More notably, the widening gap is driven by a long-term fall in fertility rates and an ageing population, creating serious challenges for the country's economy and social systems.
Musk argued that AI could help ease the burden on an ageing society by supporting critical sectors such as healthcare and reducing the economic strain of a shrinking workforce. When is Elon Musk's Tesla arriving in Delhi?
In another significant development, Elon Musk-run electric car maker Tesla is all set to inaugurate its second showroom in India in Delhi on August 11 — after it opened the Mumbai showroom last month. In a post on social media platform X, Tesla posted, 'Arriving in Delhi – stay tuned,' along with a graphic showcasing its upcoming arrival in the national capital, as per a report carried by IANS.
The new IANS report also said that the new Tesla Experience Centre will open at Aerocity's upscale Worldmark 3 complex in the national capital, catering to customers in the national capital region — a key hub for India's electric mobility push.

Elon Musk shares damning evidence that he is 'more trustworthy' than Sam Altman
Elon Musk has decided to stir things up again as he posted a screenshot of himself asking ChatGPT AI, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?' And ironically, the AI chose Elon. That little move kicked the already simmering feud between him and OpenAI's Sam Altman into the stratosphere. Elon Musk shares a screenshot of GPT asking who is more trustworthy, him or Sam Altman.(Reuters) ChatGPT chooses Elon Musk Elon Musk's rant against OpenAI continued as he shared a screengrab asking the AI to choose between him and Sam Altman. In a surprising turn of events, the AI bot chose Elon. Sharing the conversation, the tech mogul wrote, 'There you have it.' Elon Musk- Sam Atlman feud explained This is not just playful rivalry. The tension started way back, when Elon and Sam co-founded OpenAI in 2015. But by 2018, Elon left the board as he was not happy with OpenAI ditching its nonprofit roots for a for-profit path. He even tried (and failed) a nearly $97 billion takeover in 2025. Sam laughed it off, calling it a clever distraction tactic, and threw shade right back, hinting that Musk pushes his tech ventures from a place of insecurity, The Guardian reported. Also read: ChatGPT beats Grok in AI chess final, Gemini finishes third, Elon Musk said… The latest sparks flew when Elon accused Apple of playing favorites, pointing out that ChatGPT was dominating the App Store while his own Grok chatbot was being pushed aside. He threatened legal action, accusing Apple of antitrust violations. That set Sam off, who shot back accusing Elon of using X's algorithm in shady ways to promote himself and bury rivals. To prove it, Sam dared Musk to sign an affidavit swearing he's never tweaked X to benefit his own companies. Musk's response? A blunt: 'You liar,' pointing out that Altman's post got three million views, despite Elon having way more followers. Sam's charm offensive continued in the news: he downplayed Musk's relevance amid GPT-5 buzzing and OpenAI's broader mission of advancing safe, beneficial AI. Meanwhile, Elon retorted that his Grok model beats GPT-5 any day, and called Altman 'Scam Altman." FAQs Q: What did Elon Musk ask ChatGPT? A: He asked, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?'—and the AI picked Elon. Q: Why are Musk and Altman feuding? A: Disagreements over OpenAI's direction, Musk's departure, the failed takeover, and competing AI ventures fueled years of tension. Q: What did Musk accuse Apple of? A: Favoring ChatGPT in App Store rankings and sidelining his AI app, Grok, raising antitrust concerns.
