🧠 Musk’s Pronatalist Ideology

Musk has been vocal about his concerns regarding declining birth rates, stating that “low birthrates will end civilization. “He actively promotes procreation, asserting it is vital to humanity’s survival. Reports suggest he has offered substantial financial incentives to women to bear his children, emphasizing intelligence and career success as desirable traits. His approach includes using surrogates and encouraging nontraditional family structures. 


🏫 Education and Upbringing

In 2014, Musk co-founded Ad Astra, an experimental school initially developed for his children and a select group of SpaceX employees’ kids. The school emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning over traditional grading systems.

Musk has also proposed creating a community in Austin, Texas, aiming to raise his children in close proximity, reflecting his desire for a centralized family environment. 


👨‍👧 Public Appearances and Relationships

Among his children, Musk is most frequently seen with his son X Æ A-12 (“X”), who often accompanies him to public events. In contrast, his other children maintain a low profile, with some, like Vivian, publicly distancing themselves from him.

Musk’s relationships with the mothers of his children vary, with some partnerships, like that with Grimes, being on-and-off, and others, like with Shivon Zilis, being more private. His approach to fatherhood and family has sparked discussions about the ethical implications of his pronatalist views and unconventional family structures.​
