Elon Musk wants everyone to have more kids—but a Trump presidency won’t help families
2
Though Trump has recently paid lip service to family policies, his track record indicates that issues like paid leave and steep childcare costs are not a priority.
Across social media and in interviews, Elon Musk has repeatedly aired his concerns about the declining birth rate, calling it “the biggest danger civilization faces” and urging his followers to have more kids. Musk, who has fathered at least 11 children, seems to have made this a personal mission. Just this week, the New York Times reported that Elon Musk has now quietly built a sprawling mansion in Austin in the hopes of creating a “family compound” for his many children and their mothers.
