Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
These days, many people decide against starting families out of concern that doing so may accelerate global warming.However, just a couple of months back, Musk lashed out at those who believe having children has an impact on climate change when speaking remotely at the All-In Summit.
He said, "some people think that having fewer kids is better for the environment. Environment's gonna be fine even if we doubled the population. I know a lot of environmental stuff...Japan had lowest birth rate. Having kids is essential for maintaining civilization. We can't let civilization dwindle into nothing."
Earlier this year one of Musk's children, Vivian Jenna Wilson, formerly known as Xavier Alexander Musk after turning 18filed a petition for changing her name and legally cutting all ties with her father.
In the documents submitted in court, she said "I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."
