Elon Musk… But looking at the current state of South Korea, it may not seem like such a strange thing to say.
If South Korea's population density is the world average, it would be 70 billion. This is a similar figure to the 80 billion Musk suggests.
Most of South Korea's land area is mountainous. And there are many forests..
Despite this, if you visit South Korea, you will see that it is not crowded at all. In fact, except for the capital, it is difficult to see people. It's strange.
Maybe Musk will be convinced of his beliefs if he visits South Korea.
Someone once said, 'Earth could hold 80 billion people without destroying the rainforest.'
