The Tesla CEO recently discussed being the father of 10 children in a detailed interview with the Financial Times. He also discussed whether he has any future ambitions to have additional children.
Musk responded, “I’m quite sure there are no other babies looming,” when asked if he has fathered any additional children.
However, Musk, who at 51 described himself as an “autumn chicken,” said he would accept additional children in the future, provided he can be a good parent to them.
In July, it was revealed that Musk had given birth to twins in secret in November 2021 with his project director Shivon Zilis, making him a father of ten.
I’m making every effort to address the underpopulation situation. The biggest threat to civilisation, by far, is a collapse in birthrate, he remarked on Twitter.
Mark my words, they are terribly true, and congratulations to those who already have large families, Musk added in subsequent tweets.
Musk rarely talks about his own family, but he has strong feelings about the declining birth rate.
At the Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO Council in December 2021, he stated, “I think one of the biggest hazards to civilization is the low birth rate and the fast-dropping birthrate.” Please take a look at the statistics; civilization will end, I promise if people don’t have more kids.
The twins were born just weeks before Musk and his ex-girlfriend Grimes welcomed a daughter via surrogate in December 2021. Grimes and Musk, who divorced in September 2021, have a 2-year-old son named X A-12.
With his first wife, Justine Wilson, he also has 18-year-old twins Vivian Jenna Wilson and Griffin, as well as triplets Kai, Damian, and Sax, born in 2006. Nevada, the couple’s second child, died at the age of ten weeks.
