Elon Musk shares his ruthlessly honest opinion on sex 'without purpose' as he encourages procreation

It's into the mindset of the Tesla CEO and alleged father-of-14

Elon Musk has described sex without the intention of having children 'absurd'.

The world's richest man has stressed for years that we're at risk of a 'population collapse'.

In 2022 he took to Twitter to claim that a population decline is more of a threat to humanity than global warming.

"Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming," he posted.

"Mark these words.

"(And I do think global warming is a major risk)."

Now, a clip of Musk sitting down with podcaster Lex Fridman back in 2019 has resurfaced online, and the Tesla CEO - who has acknowledged that he has 13 children with a 14th at the center of a paternity case - made his views clear on the subject of sex.

"A massive amount of thinking, like truly stupendous amount of thinking, has gone into sex - without purpose, without procreation, which is actually quite a silly action in the absence of procreation," he told Fridman.

"It's a bit silly, so why are you doing it? Because it makes the limbic system happy - that's why."

"But it's pretty absurd really," he continued

"A lot of computation has gone into, 'how can I do more of that', with the procreation not even being a factor."

Taking to the comments on Fridman's YouTube channel, one user commented: "Elon was inferring that jer*ing off is silly hahah."

While a second quipped: "This is Elon Musk talking dirty."

And a third joked: "If solving mathematical problems rendered a climax like that of a sexual orgasm, I'm pretty sure the human species would have a lot more mathematicians!"

More recently, we've witnessed private text messages exchanged between Musk and his former partner Ashley St Clair - the woman who claims she's the mother of the billionaire's 13th child - which reveals how his mindset works.

The pair are going through a pretty bitter legal battle.

Reportedly, Musk offered $15 million and $100,000 a month in childcare support in exchange for her silence on the birth of their child, but St Clair declined, Wall Street Journal reported.

While speaking to the newspaper, St Clair revealed text exchanges she had with Musk while she was pregnant.

"To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates," Musk allegedly wrote.

As previously mentioned, Musk has long made his fears about the world's declining birthrate clear. Back in 2023, the same year he met St Clair, he tweeted: "Population collapse is an existential problem for humanity, not overpopulation!"
