Fact Check: Is Elon Musk The Father Of 10 Kids?

San Francisco: It has emerged that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had twins last November with a top executive of his artificial intelligence company Nueralink.

According to a Business Insider report, Musk and his employee Shivon Zilis welcomed two babies eight months back as revealed by court documents. It was around that time Musk and his girlfriend Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes – with whom he had two kids — split.

That’s not all.

Musk, now 51 years old, and his first wife Justine were parents to six children, which takes the number of children the world’s richest man has fathered so far to 10!

One of the six kids he had with Justine Musk passed away at the age of 10 months due to an illness.

Musk’s tweet all but confirmed the news of his having twins with his employee

“Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far,” read his tweet this evening.

Musk has always been open about his desire to have more kids.

“If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble. Mark my words,” he had tweeted earlier.

His daughter, who identifies as a transgender, recently filed a petition to change her name in accordance with her identity. She stated that she “no longer lives with or wishes to be related to her biological father in any way, shape or form.”

On Father’s Day last month, Musk tweeted that he loves all his kids.
