The comments came a day after reports Mr Musk had fathered twins with an executive at one of his companies.
Elon Musk said Thursday that he was helping combat falling birth rates after it was reported that he had twins last year with an executive at one of his companies.
The comments came a day after online outlet Insider reported that Mr Musk had twins with 36-year-old Canadian Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, Mr Musk's brain-implant maker. In April, Ms Zilis and Mr Musk filed a petition with a Texas court for the children to "have their father's last name and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name," Insider reported, referring to court documents obtained by the publication. The petition was granted in May, the site said.The babies, which Insider says were born in November, arrived just weeks before Mr Musk, 51, and music artist Grimes had their second child via surrogate.
In May, Mr Musk tweeted a graphic from the Wall Street Journal showing that the average number of babies a US woman has in her lifetime fell from more than 3.5 in 1960 to a little over 1.5 in 2021.
