Last week we reported that Elon Musk has 11 children, which seemed like a lot at the time. Unfortunately, that number appears to be incorrect. In fact, he has one more child that wasn’t previously reported. report Bloomberg reported on Friday, and the total number of children (as far as we know) now appears to be 12.
A Bloomberg report goes into more detail about Musk’s recent comments. Pro-natalist ideasnotes that the tech billionaire has fathered at least three children with an executive at his neuroscience startup, Neuralink. Until this week, only two of those children had been made public. The Bloomberg report attempts to chart Musk’s “activities” as a father, illustrating it as follows:
he father He has at least 12 children, six of them born in the past five years: three with musician Grimes and three with Sivon Gillis, director of special projects at Neuralink, including one previously undisclosed child. The child was born earlier this year, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Gillis declined to comment, and Musk did not respond to inquiries.
At this point, Musk is like a medieval king who can’t keep his pants down and has an endless swarm of heirs and baby mamas spread across his estate. Seriously, how many descendants does this guy actually have? A Bloomberg article states that the tech billionaire “at least “Twelve children” (emphasis added), but this is not a particularly conclusive figure.
Musk has been telling anyone who will listen that people should have lots of kids to counter the global “baby boom.” Of course, this is an easy thing to tell people when they don’t have to worry about the costs of childcare. You are the richest person (Or, sometimes, second richest man) on Earth.
Gizmodo has reached out to Neuralink and Musk for comment and will update this article if they provide an exact number of Elon babies running around.
