The deterioration of Elon Musk's relationship with one of the mothers of his children is playing out publicly in the media — revealing the billionaire's strange vision for his raising his 'legion' of kids.
Twitter owner and presidential 'first buddy' Musk has made it very clear that he believes civilisation will 'crumble' if we all don't drop whatever we're doing and have as many children as possible.
And to be fair to Musk, he's definitely putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to procreating.

At 53 years old, the tech billionaire is currently confirmed to be the father of 14 children with four separate women.
Musk's baby-making conquest is currently in the news once again as author and conservative influencer Ashley St Clair, aka his fourth 'baby mama', opted to sue the businessman for sole custody of their son, named Romulus, earlier this year.
The 26-year-old sensationally confirmed the birth of their child via social media, with a post captioned 'Alea Iacta Est' and a plea for her son's privacy to be respected.
Messages between the pair have since been revealed to the public through court documents and texts, revealing Musk's insatiable desire to father as many children as possible.

In one text revealed to the Wall Street Journal, Musk allegedly messaged St Clair: "To reach legion-level before the apocalypse... we will need to use surrogates."
Other messages revealed that he had allegedly been approached by Japanese officials to be a sperm donor for a high profile woman. "They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm," he wrote.
It's claimed that he later provided sperm to the unnamed woman.
In other messages, Musk asked St Clair to stay at his Texas compound 'with our kid legion', while replying 'I want to knock you up again' in response to one of her selfies.
How many children does Elon Musk have?

He first became a father in 2002, welcoming a son called Nevada with Canadian author and then-wife Justine Wilson.
However, the child would devastatingly pass away just 10 weeks after birth. The couple went on to have five more children - twins Vivian and Griffin, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 19 - before divorcing in 2008.
He would then go on to welcome son X, full name X Æ A-Xii, with singer Grimes in 2020, with the former couple going on to have two more children, son Tau Techno Mechanicus and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.
During a period of estrangement from Grimes, the Tesla founder welcomed twins Strider and Azure in June 2021 with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
