On episode #2260 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the veteran podcaster welcomed computer scientist and fellow podcaster Lex Fridman, with whom he joked about the number of children Elon Musk may have, beyond his confirmed 12 children.
The pair first made the joke while discussing homeschooling. They eventually touched on the subject of space schooling with children on Mars, which inevitably drew them to discuss Musk, who is known for his long-held desire to spearhead the first manned mission to Mars.
The longtime UFC commentator asked Fridman how many children Musk had, with Fridman stating that they were in the double digits. In response, Rogan said the following, citing Musk's staggering $427 billion net worth:
"No, we don't even know how many, cause they think he's got secret kids. They, the f***ing people that run the world. He's probably got secret kids. When you have, like, what does he have, like $300+ billion? You can have a few ladies here and there all over the place having kids. There's a lot of ladies that just want to have kids, they don't want a guy around."

This prompted Fridman to add his own two cents, joking that Musk may have a harem at his disposal.
"Yeah, especially when they get a little older, there's a castle in the south of France with, like, a harem with just a bunch of kids."
