Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, has been the father of 14 children most of whom were conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) with different women. According to Musk’s biography, he expressed a desire for IVF, saying that IVF is a more efficient way of having children because it allows parents to control parts of the process.

世界首富埃隆·马斯克目前已是14个孩子的父亲，其中绝大多数是通过试管婴儿技术（IVF）与不同女性孕育的。根据马斯克的传记披露，他特别推崇试管婴儿技术，认为这种生育方式效率更高，能让父母更好地掌控生育过程。

IVF is a medical procedure where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body and then implanted in the uterus. Elon Musk’s background in technology has led him to view IVF as a way to increase the genetic diversity within his family while also avoiding potentially serious genetic disorders. He has said that “genetic diversity helps ensure that our family is robust and can respond to any changes in their environment.” That is why he has chosen to use IVF to expand his family.

试管婴儿技术是指将卵子和精子在体外结合后植入子宫的医疗手段。作为科技狂人的马斯克认为，这项技术既能增加家族基因多样性，又能避免潜在的重大遗传疾病。他声称：“基因多样性可以确保我们家族的强健体质，更好地应对环境变化。“这正是他选择用试管婴儿技术扩大家庭规模的原因。

Finding as many genetically outstanding women as possible to have children with doesn’t seem easy, but Elon Musk always seems to have a way. By pursuing IVF with employee Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk tested boundaries for appropriate conduct at work. Shivon Zilis is an artificial intelligence (AI) expert and the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, a firm co-founded by Musk that focuses on neural engineering and implantable brain chips. Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis share four children born in a short span, revealing an intriguing blend of family ties and innovation.

寻找基因优异的女性作为生育伙伴看似困难，但马斯克总有办法解决。他与旗下公司Neuralink的女高管希冯·齐里斯通过试管婴儿技术生育了四个孩子，这种在工作中一起孩子行为也在测试职场关系的行为边界。作为人工智能专家的齐里斯现任Neuralink公司的运营与特别项目总监，这家由马斯克联合创立的公司专注于神经工程和脑机接口技术。两人在短期内接连生了四个孩子，展示了将家庭关系与科技创新工作交织在一起的奇特做法。

Despite Shivon Zilis’ initial decision not to get married, she felt a strong desire for motherhood. Elon Musk, understanding her predicament, encouraged her to pursue motherhood with IVF. When Zilis expressed her readiness to have children, Musk, ever the innovator, proposed an unconventional solution—suggesting that he could be the sperm donor.

虽然希冯·齐里斯的初心就是不结婚，但她始终怀有强烈的生育愿望。善解人意的埃隆·马斯克鼓励她通过试管婴儿技术实现母亲梦。当齐里斯表达了准备要孩子的想法时，向来不走寻常路的马斯克提出了一个非常规方案：由他捐献精子。

Although Elon Musk is the father of her kids, Shivon Zilis claimed she and the “Neuralink” founder do not have a truly romantic relationship, according to Reuters. Yet, details about their dynamic have still raised eyebrows. According to reports, Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis embarked on the path to parenthood driven by a shared concern about declining birth rates and the potential consequences of a human population collapse.

据路透社报道，尽管马斯克是孩子们的生父，但希冯·齐里斯强调：两人并非真正意义上的恋人关系。不过二人之间这种很有个性的关系仍引发了诸多猜测。据悉，两人选择共同养育后代是出于对人口出生率持续下滑的共同担忧，以及可能引发的人类社会崩溃的共同危机意识。

As for what Musk says about the news and controversy of his now-public children with Zilis, his focus has been on spreading word about the “underpopulation crisis.” Musk tweeted, “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far,” adding his words “are sadly true.”Weaved into this message is the notion that Musk is doing the world a favor by having a large family.

面对与齐里斯生育孩子引发的舆论风波，马斯克将公众注意力引向"人口危机"的讨论。他在推特发文称：“出生率崩塌是目前文明面临的最大威胁”，并强调"很可悲的是这就是事实”。字里行间透露出他认为自己多生孩子就是在造福人类。

Few understand the origin of Elon Musk’s pro-birth views better than his own father, Errol Musk - an engineer and businessman from South Africa, who has a strained relationship with his son. Errol has seven children himself, ranging in age from Elon at 54 to his youngest daughter, who is six. He’s also a pronatalist. “We’re not here to enjoy boating or flying or skiing or kite surfing, or something,” he says. “We are here to continue being here. We should all be worried about declining populations.”

要说谁最懂埃隆·马斯克生育观的渊源，非其父埃罗尔·马斯克莫属。这位与儿子关系紧张的南非工程师兼商人，自己就有七个孩子，从54岁的埃隆到年仅6岁的小女儿。同为生育倡导者的埃罗尔表示：“我们活着不是为了享受游艇、飞行、滑雪或风筝冲浪，而是为了延续人类的存在。每个人都该为人口下降担忧。”
