Nick Cannon has said he’s ‘right there’ with Elon Musk in response to a tweet the billionaire posted in which he said he was doing his 'best to help the underpopulation crisis’. 

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Tesla boss had fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his neurotechnology firm Neuralink. 

Court records cited by Insider showed Musk and Zilis had filed to change the twins' last names to Musk's and kept their mother's name as part of their middle names, and that a Texas judge approved the petition the following month.

Alongside the twins, Musk is also dad to two children he shares with Grimes and five he shares with his ex-wife Justine Wilson.

Although he’s yet to publicly comment on reports regarding the twins, yesterday, Musk took to Twitter to say: "Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far."

Musk followed up his original tweet with: “Mark my words, they are sadly true.”

Before he added:“I hope you have big families and congrats to those who already do!”

In response, Cannon – who has fathered seven children and has another on the way – wrote: “Right there with you my Brother!”

Cannon is currently dad to 11-year-old twins – Moroccan and Monroe – who he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey as well as son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen who he shares with Brittany Bell. 

He also welcomed twin sons - Zion and Zillion - with Abby De La Rosa in 2021, and a son called Zen with Alyssa Scott. Tragically, aged just five months, Zen passed away due to brain cancer. 

In January this year he announced he and Bre Tiesi are expecting a baby boy.

Cannon has previously said that he isn’t trying to single-handedly populate the planet, which is good to know. 

Speaking to ​​E! News’s Daily Pop, he said: “I ain’t looking to populate the earth completely, but I’m definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have.”

Meanwhile, Musk has previously stated that spending time with his kids is when he’s ‘happiest’. 

Speaking at 2016’s Code Conference, he said: "I always try to reserve time for my kids because I love hanging out with them. I mean, kids are really great.”
