Elon Musk, ever the gentleman, has offered to impregnate Taylor Swift and defend her cats after she coyly endorsed Kamala Harris for president with a single cat lady joke. Musk thinks he is being humorous and this one almost rises to the level of a smirk but it also draws attention to his own rather bizarre family life.

Musk has 12 kids from three different mothers, only two of whom he has managed to take down the aisle. His approach is simple. He inseminates the women, gives them the money to raise his children and off he goes to the next woman to impregnate. His idea of being a good father is providing his children with DNA and money. He certainly isn’t living with all them or doing simple fatherly tasks like taking them to school, having dinner, and tucking them into bed.

How he fits into being a good father is none of my business until he bangs on about the need for more children in this world. Most men don’t have the billions he has to hire other people to do his fatherly chores. They have to do them all themselves. It would be wise for people who are so concerned about the depopulation of the earth to show how busy men can both be productive individuals while still being a hands-on father. to a brood of 12 children.

Until then, he might shut is gob, even if he is joking, about bringing another child with a distant father into the world.
