Elon Musk says people are too concerned about the costs of raising children and should just go ahead and have them.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was asked at a pro-Trump rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday night what advice he’d give to the younger generation about having children.
“My advice regarding starting a family is start immediately,” he replied.
“I think people worry too much about having kids, and it’s sometimes difficult to make ends meet and whatnot,” said Musk, the world’s richest person with a $242 billion net worth per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
“But honestly, there’s really no time like the present. Just have kids. You won’t be sorry. It’ll work out,” Musk added.
