When SpaceX went public earlier this month, Elon Musk momentarily became the world's first trillionaire. During a celebratory speech, the company's founder and CEO expressed his aspiration to take humanity to the Moon, Mars, and "maybe beyond the solar system." However, stock prices have since declined, and according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, Musk's net worth is now in the several-hundred-billion dollar range.

Musk is known for his pronatalist views and has openly discussed expanding his already sizable family. While his current wealth remains astronomical, the rapid fluctuations raise questions about his ability to fund his ambitious goals. The article adopts a satirical tone, suggesting that even multi-billionaires face challenges.
