In the interview with the Sun, he revealed that he and Jana are no longer together, and he also revealed that he’d be open to having more children in the future. “If I could have another child, I would. I can’t see any reason not to.”
He also explained why he wants more children. He said “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.”
The senior musk also revealed that there is a possibility that he can have more unnamed kids. He shared that there was a period in Johannesburg in the ’80s when he was going out with a different womtan every night. He had plenty of dates. So it’s quite conceivable that one of them could actually come back and say, ‘This is your child.’ It’s possible,” he told ‘The Sun’.

The senior musk revealed that the rest of the Musk family is not comfortable with the relationship. He said “They still don’t like it ..they still feel a bit creepy about it, because she’s their sister.
