Elon Musk says Grimes has “a much bigger role” in caring for his son


Elon Musk has stated that “there is not much [he] can do ”in terms of caring for her two-month-old son with Grimes, X Æ A-Xii, until the child is older.

Speaking to The New York TimesMusk said babies “are just eating and defecating machines” and that Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, is taking on much more responsibility today.

“Grimes has a much bigger role than I do right now,” he admitted. “When the child grows up, there will be more paper for me.”

The Tesla CEO referred to the five children he shares with his first wife, Justine Wilson: “I think I am only doing what I did with my other children. If I have a trip for Tesla to China, for example, I will bring the children with me and we will go see the Great Wall, or we will take the bullet train from Beijing to Xian and see the Terracotta Warriors. ”

Musk also suggested that more people should have children. “I think babies are super cool and people really need to have more babies because, it seems obvious, but if people don’t have enough babies, humanity will disappear,” he said.

Grimes publicly asked the tech entrepreneur to turn off his phone yesterday (July 25) after he sparked a backlash with a recent tweet that wrote “Pronouns Suck.”

“I love you, but please turn off your phone or give me a break [sic], “she wrote.” I can’t bear the hatred. Please put this down. I know this is not your heart.

Earlier this week (July 22), Musk predicted that people may one day be able to stream music directly through a chip that is implanted in the brain.
