Multi-hyphenate billionaire and reproduction-obsessed father of 11 children Elon Musk wants to move his entire patchwork family into a sprawling compound of three mansions in a leafy part of Austin, Texas — a plan that sounds more than a bit like the beginning of a terrifying documentary.

Musk has told people close to him that he wants his many children — there are eleven known ones, ranging from infancy to young adulthood — and two of their three mothers to move into two properties near his own Austin mansion, which is a ten-minute walk away.

And of course, Musk is likely far from done with having children. The entrepreneur has long cited falling fertility rates as being the number one threat to humanity, making it his mission to father as many children as possible.

擁有多重身份的億萬富翁埃隆·馬斯克，癡迷于生孩子。現在他有11個孩子。他想湊齊一大家子人，搬到德克薩斯州奧斯汀一個樹木茂盛的地方，住進一個由三棟豪宅組成的龐大莊園里。這個計劃感覺更像是一部恐怖紀錄片的開頭。

馬斯克告訴他身邊的人，他希望他的孩子（已知的孩子有11個，年齡從嬰兒到青年都有）和3個母親中的2個都搬到奧斯汀豪宅附近的兩處房產。這兩個地方的距離只有步行10分鐘的路程。

而且對于馬斯克來說，目前生的孩子當然還遠遠不夠。長期以來，這位企業家一直提到，生育率下降對人類是頭號威脅。因此，他的使命是盡量多生孩子。
