Elon Musk has always been vocal about his pro-natalist views, and reports suggest that he has gone above and beyond to promote his vision. According to a report by The New York Times, Musk allegedly offered his sperm to friends, including Nicole Shanahan, who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate. However, two sources claim that Shanahan turned down this unusual proposal.
This isn’t the first time such claims about Musk have surfaced. Last year, guests at a dinner party attended by Musk revealed to the New York Times that he suggested donating his sperm to a married couple he had only met a few times socially.
The incident took place at a dinner hosted by a Silicon Valley tech executive. During the gathering, the couple mentioned their struggles with conceiving a child, which prompted Musk to offer his help. He also allegedly talked about his numerous children during the event.
As a father of 11, Musk has often emphasised the importance of having more children. In 2022, he posted on X (formerly Twitter), "Population collapse due to low birthrates is a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming. (And I do think global warming is a major risk)."
Earlier this year, Musk posted, "I'm doing my best to encourage more people to become parents and ideally have three or more kids, so humanity can grow. The population collapse in most countries is a tragedy. Sales of adult diapers should never exceed sales of baby diapers!"
Musk’s views have sparked a variety of reactions online. Recently, he responded to Taylor Swift, who jokingly referred to herself as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady” in reference to a comment by Vice President-elect JD Vance, who called Democrats “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives.”
Musk said, “Fine Taylor . . . you win . . . I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
