Elon Musk has promised to increase child care benefits at his companies after it was recently revealed that he had welcomed some twins last year.
Father of Ten Elon Musk Vows To Help People Become Mamas By Increasing Child Care Benefits At His Companies-‘Kids Are Worth It’
As of now, Elon has a reported ten children with three different baby mamas: Shivon Zilis, Grimes and Justine Wilson. And given that Musk clearly has plans on having a massive family, it appears that he wants to incentivise others to do the same.
And this commitment came in response to one social media user who asked how Elon would respond to those who suggest it is not a good idea to have more kids due to the cost.
In response, Elon remarked: “Kids are worth it if at all possible. I’m planning to increase childcare benefits at my companies significantly.”
This is welcomed news for those working under Elon, who were considering having more children, but put off the decision on the basis that it was not cost effective. And Musk hopes that this can lead to other companies following in the same manner.
Although it is not clear if Musk will pull through with this, as of yet, he is determined to try at the very least. He added: “Hopefully, other companies do same.
“Also, Musk Foundation plans to donate directly to families. Hopefully, details to be announced next month.” The fans on social media welcomed the prospect.
A significant majority of people were of the view that a society should be encouraged to have children and not be punished for doing so.
One person wrote: “Wonderful. We are proud about the steps you are taking,” while another person stated: “I always loved kids and I got blessed with one of my own….I support @elonmusk.”
Time will tell if Elon does end up sticking to his word. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
