I respect her choice but I wouldn’t want to be her kid

I would want to be her kid, because I was homeschooled and hated it, and she would have certainly been too busy to homeschool her kids, or be any other sort of helicopter parent.

lol, my coworker always goes off on a rant about how much it would suck being elon musk's kids. can't convince him its just a different upbringing

Does Musk even have kids?

Dang, according to wiki, he has 5 living kids.

Had to know what happened to the other kid(s) and whether it was just one:

"Their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk, died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at the age of 10 weeks."

More interestingly, the five are two twins and three triplets.

Wouldn’t that mean fertility drugs were probably involved? Anyways, I guess he really likes kids, which is a bit surprising.

Yes:

https://www.asrm.org/topics/topics-index/multiple-births-or-...

He loves to experiment.

“They later had five sons through in vitro fertilization – twins in 2004, followed by triplets in 2006.” is the sentence following the quoted one in that wikipedia link.

Why is it surprising? Liking offspring is the underpinning of all of human evolutionary history.

And he boasts about sleeping at the factory. What a dick.

How would you know how it is for Musk's kids? They could be utterly miserable because their dad works 100-120 hours per week.

of course, but maybe not, thats why we have fun discussing it at work

We don’t know if it would suck, since we know neither Elon nor his kids personally. However, we do know that Elon can’t be spending much time with them.
