"It would be weird to issue a press release." Elon Musk comments on the birth of his 12th child, says it was not a secret

Elon Musk commented to journalists from PageSix about the birth of his twelfth child with his colleague Siobhan Zilis. According to him, it was not a secret at all, but it would be strange to issue a "press release" after his birth.

"As for the 'secret birth', that's a lie. All our friends and relatives know. The fact that we didn't issue a press release, which would be strange, doesn't mean that everything was a secret," the billionaire said.

The baby's name and gender are still unknown.

Elon Musk, 52, currently has 12 children. Six of them were born to his first wife, writer Justine Wilson (Musk's firstborn son Nevada died at 10 weeks of sudden infant death syndrome), three more were born to Grimes, and three more were born to Zilis. Bloomberg notes that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX may have other children who are not yet known to the public.

It is known that the billionaire actively promotes the idea of ​​fighting depopulation and supports the pro-natalist movement, whose supporters oppose abortions and are for increasing the birth rate. And recently, an article was published in which his female employees spoke about sexual harassment and that Musk persuaded at least one of them to have his children. And when the woman refused, her working relationship with her boss deteriorated.

Meanwhile, Musk, who is one of the richest people in the world, is fighting with his ex-girlfriend Grimes over reducing child support for their three children. The singer has also previously said that he took their eldest son X with him.
