NEW YORK, August 25. /TASS/. US entrepreneur Elon Musk warned that humanity risks disappearing, citing Singapore's demographic situation.

"Humanity is disappearing," Musk wrote on X, commenting on news about new measures to support population growth in Singapore.

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that Singapore authorities had announced payments of more than $55,000 to families for each child amid a record decline in the city-state's fertility rate. A rate of 2.1 births per woman is needed to maintain a stable population.

Singapore could become a "super-aged" society this year, with people aged over 65 accounting for more than 21% of its population, the newspaper wrote.
