Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently fathered a third child with a director at his brain-chip implant company, Neuralink. The birth of the child, whose name has not been disclosed, took place earlier this year, following the birth of twins in 2022, also with the same director, Shivon Zilis. Musk, one of the world's wealthiest individuals, has reportedly fathered a total of 12 children, with six born in the last five years with various partners. Interestingly, Musk has joked about contributing to solving the underpopulation crisis, despite experts projecting a global population boom reaching 10 billion by the end of the century. This news comes amidst accusations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior toward female employees at Musk's space exploration company, SpaceX. Musk's conduct has led to a lawsuit filed by former engineers alleging a pervasive sexist culture at the company.
