The truth is, he has yet one more beforehand unreported child, based on a report revealed Friday by Bloomberg. The entire variety of youngsters (that we all know of) now seems to be 12.
Bloomberg’s report, which delves deeper into Musk’s latest promulgation of pronatalist ideas, notes that the tech billionaire has had at the least three youngsters with an government at his neuroscience startup Neuralink. Till this week, solely two of these youngsters have been recognized to the general public. The Bloomberg report makes an attempt to chart Musk’s paternal “exercise,” diagramming it like so:
He’s fathered at the least 12 youngsters, six of them previously 5 years—three with the musician Grimes and three with Neuralink Corp.’s director of particular initiatives, Shivon Zilis, together with one who hasn’t been recognized to the general public till now. That baby was born earlier this yr, based on individuals conversant in the matter, who would solely focus on it on situation of anonymity.

Critically, what number of offspring does this dude even have? The Bloomberg piece notably says that the tech billionaire has sired “at the least 12 youngsters” (emphasis mine), which doesn’t make it a very definitive quantity.
Musk has been telling anyone who will pay attention that they need to have a lot of youngsters to battle the worldwide “child bust.” That is, after all, form of a straightforward factor to inform individuals if you don’t have to fret about the price of childcare as a result of you’re the richest guy (or, typically, the second richest guy) on Earth.
