Musk, the world’s second richest man with some $200 billion, has fathered at least 12 children — six of them in the past five years — including three with Zillis and three with Canadian popstar Grimes, according to Bloomberg.
Musk has previously joked that he’s “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis,” a problem he views as “the biggest danger civilization faces.”
On Thursday, Musk posted a chart claiming that Europe is suffering from a “fertility crisis,” saying “Civilization may end with a bang or with a whimper (in adult diapers).”
He’s long peddled the debunked theory that the world population is declining, Bloomberg noted.
The UN projects that, despite growth rates dropping globally, the world population will continue booming to reach 10 billion by the end of the century, according to the outlet.
The revelation comes as Musk has been accused by numerous female subordinates of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior at his space exploration company, SpaceX.
Musk allegedly had a sexual relationship with an employee who started at the company as an intern and was then hired not long after she finished college before she called it off.
Musk also allegedly pursued relationships with other female subordinates at his rocket company — including with one woman who was asked by the mogul to bear his children on several occasions, The Wall Street Journal reported .
The mogul also carried on a month-long sexual relationship with a third woman who reported to him directly at SpaceX before the two cut ties, according to the report.
Earlier this month, Eight former SpaceX engineers — four men and four women — filed a lawsuit against Musk alleging they were fired after raising concerns about harassment against women in the workplace.
The lawsuit claims Musk’s conduct fostered a “pervasively sexist culture” at SpaceX. Female engineers were regularly subject to harassment while their concerns were ignored, the suit alleges.
“These actions … had the foreseeable and actual result of offending, causing distress, and intruding upon plaintiffs’ wellbeing so as to disrupt their emotional tranquility in the workplace,” the engineers stated in the lawsuit.
Musk couldn’t immediately be reached for comment by The Post.
