00:00Elon Musk sparked a debate on X after stating that people without children lack a stake in
00:04the future. The comment was posted Saturday in response to a The Wall Street Journal article
00:08about philosopher and ethicist Amanda Askell, who works at the artificial intelligence company
00:13Anthropic in San Francisco. In a follow-up post, Musk referenced Askell's former partner,
00:18William MacAskill, who he said had offered to help write what Musk called the
00:22Grock Constitution. Musk criticized MacAskill for speaking about declining birth rates without
00:27having children, adding that constitutions should not be written by hypocrites. The Grock
00:31Constitution refers to a proposed moral framework Musk has discussed for Grock, the AI chatbot
00:36developed by his company XAI. Musk previously said the chatbot should operate under a defined ethical
00:41structure, particularly following controversy involving AI-generated images. Musk's remarks
00:46about childless adults prompted swift reactions from other X-users. Some referenced his own family
00:51life, which has included public custody disputes and disagreements. Musk has had custody matters
00:55involving musician Grimes, whose legal name is Claire Elise Boucher. He has also faced claims
01:00from commentator Ashley St. Clair regarding paternity. Additionally, Musk's relationship
01:04with his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has drawn attention, particularly as she has publicly
01:09disagreed with him over issues including transgender rights and what he has described as the woke mind
01:13virus. The exchange reflects ongoing discussions on X about parenting, demographics, and public
01:18commentary by high-profile figures. Drop your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to like
