“He had another kid, right? This was before the last three, or whatever it was,” said Cuban. “I’m like, ‘Dude, congratulations, how many are you going to have?'”

“He sends me a text back, ‘Mars needs people,'” Cuban said.

Cuban said he responded to the Mars quip, but the Tesla CEO did not send anything back. Musk “hasn’t replied. I don’t think he likes me,” he said.

Musk is now publicly known to have fathered 10 children with Justine Musk, singer Grimes, and Shivon Zilis. Musk’s first son with his former wife Wilson was born in 2002 but died 10 weeks later of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, according to Page Six.

The billionaire often shares his thoughts on space travel, as he is also the CEO of SpaceX. More specifically, he shares his predictions regarding the future of Mars.

“If there aren’t enough people for Earth, then there definitely won’t be enough for Mars,” Musk tweeted in January with a frowning emoticon.

“Mars may be a fixer upper of a planet, but it has great potential!” he tweeted Friday.

Another user then asked Musk to estimate when a “self-sustaining” civilization will be created on the planet, to which he replied, “20 to 30 years from first human landing if launch rate growth is exponential. Assumes transferring ~100k each rendezvous and ~1M total people needed.”
