Musk makes room for the worst of surrogacy

In our age of self-preoccupation, children’s rights usually take a backseat. With one of the worst offenders, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in political prominence with the GOP, this problem is not going to be solved anytime soon.

Part of that is because, as a concept, Musk’s family plan itself is never really “solved.” He has fathered (a minimum of) 13 children with four women, to none of whom he relates as a real father and most of whom he stores under nondisclosure agreements. It’s an inherently unstable model, and will always be so. And Musk doesn’t want to stop — because, well, not stopping is the point.
