Elon Musk has 11 children. Five with his first wife author Justine Musk, three with the musician Grimes, and three with Shivon Zilis.
In July 2022, the billionaire showed his support for large families, stating, “Bravo to big families” and shared his desire to have as many children as he can spend time with, and be a good father too. He also stated his concerns about declining birth rates, tweeting, “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces, by far.”
Now Elon Musk has reiterated his concerns, stating that many countries are already well below the “replacement rate” and that this trend is expected to continue. He stressed the importance of maintaining population levels, noting that 2.1 children per woman is considered the replacement rate and that the global average is expected to fall below this point soon.
