Elon Musk is settling into his “Mormon arc” amid news of his plans for a not-so-secret $35 million family compound in Austin, Texas, coming to light. The tech billionaire has perceivably made the declining birth rate a mission he is happy to take on, as several reports illustrate him as procreation obsessed and someone who has “offered his own sperm to friends and acquaintances.” Tesla’s co-founder has 11 known children with three women, though there are speculations that he could have fathered more. The New York Times revealed that he purchased a 14,400-square-foot mansion and three nearby properties in an exposé published on Oct. 29. CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – MAY 27: Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, participates in a press conference at the Kennedy Space Center on May 27, 2020 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley were scheduled to be the first people since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011 to be launched into space from the United States, but the launch was postponed due to bad weather.

Elon and Shevon Zelis, an executive for his Neurolink company, share twins and a third child, while he has five with his first wife Justine Musk and three with Claire Boucher, a musician who goes by the stage name Grimes. A source for the Times claimed that Zelis is the only mother who has taken up the offer to live on his home base. Plenty of hot takes regarding the arrangement have since appeared online. Elon Musk has 12 kids, but you only ever see him parading Lil X around at big events. Given the fact Elon has no relationship with his other 11 kids, it's hard to believe the relationship with his youngest son is genuine. His name is X! He's a great promo tool — nothing else. https://t.co/t4bx2xYXA4— David Stehle (@davidstehle) October 28, 2024 “’Big Love’ Elon expects his harem to shack up with him? Life is just one big Sister Wives merry-go-round for these chattels,” read a reaction to Elon’s latest controversy. He was even compared to Manson Family cult leader Charles Manson for trying to engineer a “commune family.” Somebody else chimed in with, “Sounds Iike he wants a compound to control the family,  like one of those communes.” And for multiple others, there was no denying that “we call this type of set-up a cult.” At least one person felt that at the root of the compound was Elon’s desire to create a polygamous relationship. Elon is a huge supporter of former President Donald Trump and has poured millions of dollars into a super PAC to get the disgraced leader reelected on Election Day, Nov. 5. This election cycle, women’s reproductive freedom has been a pressing concern. .@ElonMusk tells @TuckerCarlson the rise of birth control has allowed humans to "still satisfy the limbic instinct, but not procreate," adding "if we don't make enough people to at least sustain our numbers, perhaps increase a little bit, then civilization's gonna crumble." pic.twitter.com/xB7pI9pDsZ— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 19, 2023 In 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made it legal for mothers to terminate pregnancies. Texas, like multiple other states, made it a criminal act for women to seek safe abortions and for physicians to perform the procedures, with limited exceptions. Last year, the billionaire told then-Fox News personality Tucker Carlson that “civilization’s going to crumble” if the birth rate continued to decline. In part, he blamed access to abortions and birth control for stagnating population growth. ‘Expects His Harem to Shack Up with Him?’: Elon Musk Sparks Controversy as He Offers His Sperm to Boost Birth Rate While He Plans $35 Million Compound Where He Wants His 11 Kids and Their Mothers Under One Roof
