Why is Elon Musk so obsessed with the world’s population? And why does it matter? Those questions are at the heart of today’s episode of Elon, Inc., as well as the Bloomberg Businessweek feature by Sophie Alexander and Dana Hull. They join host David Papadopoulos to talk about their reporting (and their scoop on Musk’s twelfth known child). Also, what’s happening at X?
