Musk currently has nine children - five with his ex-wife, Justine Wilson; two with Zilis, and another two with singer Grimes.
Musk's latest tweet on population decline has come amid reports that the tech billionaire, fathered twins in November 2021 with 36-year-old Canadian Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, Musk's brain-implant maker.
In a report, Business Insider had stated that in April, Musk and Zilis filed a petition to change the name of the twins to ¡°have their father's last name¡± and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name.
Last month, SpaceX founder's transgender daughter who recently turned 18 filed a petition in a California court to change her name and gender identity to female.
She cited "the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form" as one of the reasons for the name change, according to the court document.
