Should Smart People Become "Sperm Donors"? Telegram Founder Has 100 Biological Children, Musk: Smart People Have a Responsibility to Have More Children

Telegram founder Pavel Durov, in addition to his deep involvement in the TON blockchain project and often showcasing his well-toned physique in photos, recently revealed another aspect of his "genius." He disclosed that he had been involved in sperm donation activities fifteen years ago, and currently, over a hundred couples around the world have children with his genes. This act is similar to another tech mogul, Musk, who believes that "smart people should have more children" and has fathered eleven children with three partners.

Telegram Founder Durov: Providing High-Quality Sperm to Save the World

Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated:

"Fifteen years ago, a friend of mine came to me with a strange request. He said that he and his wife were unable to have children due to fertility issues and asked me to donate sperm at a clinic to help them conceive. I laughed at first, but soon realized he was serious.

The clinic owner told me that 'high-quality sperm donations' were in short supply and said it was my civic duty to donate more sperm anonymously to help more couples. It sounded crazy, but I signed the sperm donation agreement."

He mentioned that his sperm donations have helped over a hundred couples from 12 countries to have children. Even after years of not donating, at least one fertility clinic still holds his frozen sperm for anonymous use by families in need of children.

Providing DNA Data for Siblings to Identify Each Other

He mentioned that he plans to make his DNA data public so that his genetic children can more easily find each other. "Of course, there are risks, but I have no regrets about being a sperm donor. The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious global issue, and I am proud to have made a contribution to alleviating this problem."

He expressed his desire to help eliminate the stigma around sperm donation, encourage more healthy men to donate sperm, and provide more options for families struggling to have children. Challenge the norms, redefine standards!

Technophilic Pronatalism: Musk Strives to Create Smarter People

Technophilic pronatalism supports the idea that intelligent people have a responsibility to have as many intelligent children as possible on this earth, a belief shared by Tesla founder Elon Musk. Musk, who currently has 11 children with three partners, including Shivon Zilis, Musk's partner at the brain chip company Neuralink, who conceived through sperm donation for Musk.

Sources revealed that Musk encourages all wealthy individuals he knows to have as many children as possible. He has previously lamented that wealthy people have too few children. Allegedly, he is concerned that those with large families who are poorer and less intelligent will soon outnumber the wealthy.

Contrary to what many think, the richer someone is, the fewer kids they have.

I am a rare exception. Most people I know have zero or one kid.

The concern and emphasis on the elite can also be seen in Musk's recruitment policies, as he strongly supports elite-based hiring standards rather than diversity and inclusion.

The world's wealthiest and most powerful individuals see "replicating themselves as much as possible" as their responsibility, a move that has sparked discussions in society. Guardian reporters found that many Silicon Valley tech billionaires share similar thoughts and actions, with these tech elites not only attempting to control people's wealth and attention but also trying to influence the face of society.
