Elon Musk has been actively 'offering his own sperm to friends and acquaintances'

Elon Musk has fathered quite a few children, but he may be more than open to adding a few more to his family.

Richest man in the world Elon Musk might be the most talkative billionaire.

Musk has regularly taken to Twitter to express his concerns on everything from AI to politics, and one topic that has regularly come up is population.

Just looking at a few tweets from the tech CEO tells you how concerned he is about the issue.

He has previously rather dramatically tweeted: “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”

He has also tweeted: “Many countries are already well below replacement rate, and the trend is that almost all will be.

"This is simply a fact, not a ‘debunked theory.’ 2.1 kids is replacement rate, and obviously the world as a whole will soon drop below that point.”

As well as this, in his own personal life, the billionaire has fathered at least 12 children with three different women and, according to reports, he may be open to adding to that number.

It seems the controversial Musk may be trying for a more ‘hands-on’ approach to resolving population issues.

According to a New York Times report, the Tesla CEO has previously offered his seed to some friends and acquaintances over the years.

Musk is a proponent of in-vitro fertilization and reportedly offered his DNA to former independent vice-presidential candidate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Nicole Shanahan.

Musk made this offer back in 2022, according to the report, and Shanahan is said to have declined.

This apparently wasn’t a one-off as well, with Musk allegedly making a similar offer to a ‘married couple he had met socially only a handful of times,’ according to two individuals who reportedly witnessed said proposal.

This is said to have taken place at a dinner party ‘at the home of a well-known Silicon Valley executive’, however, it is not clear how the couple responded to the request.

Only time will tell if Musk plans to add any more children to his rather large family.

Earlier this year, he confirmed that he had welcomed his 12th child and he insisted the arrival of the newborn was no secret.

Musk responded to reports that he was keeping his latest stint of fatherhood under wraps, saying: “As for ‘secretly fathered,’ that is also false. All our friends and family know.

"Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean ‘secret'.”

Musk shares his youngest child with Neuralink exec Shivon Zilis, with who he also shares twins Strider and Azure, who arrived in November 2021.
