Read he just had another child and then looked at his Wikipedia page. He has at least 6 children... He's notoriously busy with work, which got me thinking does he really see his kids and how does he deal with so many (just a lot of nanny/help?).
I get he's changing the world and is very wealthy, but seems like a sad life if he's not there for his kids/ends up having 5-6+ marriages the way things are going...

elon is the only person in the world where 6 kids isn't the biggest cash burn in his daily life.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Some random context and thoughts:
I'm sure the kids wish they could see their Dad more, but I've heard secondhand and read that Elon is actually pretty deliberate about being a good Dad and really spends his non-work time focused on raising his boys.
Also, one of the reasons he had so many kids was specifically because he and his first wife Justine lost their first child as an infant, so to a huge extent the first 5 kids were a reaction to that trauma. Elon literally made Justine have IVF twins followed almost immediately by IVF triplets (seriously, look it up).
If I recall correctly, I also remember him also saying something about having a moral imperative to have more than 2 kids in order to "exceed the replacement rate," which I think I agree with. Not even just Elon, but the Musk clan in general has some solid genetics (Maye is still a model despite being 70+ and Kimbal is successful in his own right with vertical farming and concept restaurants), any additional Musk child they push out is definitely going to be species-accretive.
