Having children is a “good investment” in one’s happiness, Elon Musk’s mother has said at a Hong Kong event on fertility, encouraging more women to start families and saying they do not have to sacrifice their careers.
Dietitian and model Maye Musk also said one of her greatest fears was that her 18 grandchildren would not have friends if people stopped giving birth.
“Babies are the most wonderful things in your life,” the 77-year-old said at the University of Hong Kong-organised Global Fertility Crisis Forum on Thursday.
“Having children is a good investment in your happiness.”
She was chatting with James Liang, co-founder of online travel giant Trip.com Group, with whom she discussed details of her parenting journey.
Last year, Liang launched a HK$500 million foundation in Hong Kong to tackle the wider nation’s deepening fertility crisis.
