Elon Musk's father Errol spoke about his son's use of IVF to give birth to twins

Some of the children of American entrepreneur Elon Musk were born as a result of IVF procedures. The billionaire's father, Errol Musk, told Izvestia about this on November 27.

"Well, not all babies were born with IVF. I think about four of them were born this way. Nowadays, technology is so advanced that couples no longer have to hope that a woman will become pregnant naturally," he said.

The entrepreneur noted that his son, along with his first wife, used this method to give birth to triplets and twins. He expressed the opinion that Musk Jr. chose a similar method of procreation, since "many other people with financial opportunities also follow this path."

During the conversation, Errol Musk also denied rumors that his son preferred to give birth exclusively to boys during the IVF procedure.

"No, that's not true. In fact, both boys and girls were born from IVF procedures. It's just a myth that he only chose boys. Of course, men, as a rule, want to have a son, it's not a secret," he said.

Errol Musk pointed out that every person is different, and all children are equally valuable, regardless of gender.
