Does he have any idea how much it costs to have and raise a child today?
I know that you cannot measure a child's worth in money... I am just saying that financial means is a huge deterrent to adults who have a sense of responsibility and who are not trying to game the system.

The idea that children are expensive is greatly promoted by the anti-natalist media. It needn't be all that expensive: start with breastfeeding rather than formula-feeding, launder your own cloth diapers rather than buy disposables, etc. Best cost saving of all: have Mom stay home and look after the kids rather than send them to daycare.
Agreed. But it is still expensive. Food, healthcare and insurance, clothing, space (size of house or apartment), things like a crib, stroller, etc. Then, because you aren't fortunate enough to be a high income family, both must work, so daycare costs (which I am a stay at home mom or dad supporter if feasible), etc.
Most people cannot grow their own food or make their own clothes.
Is Elon financially sponsoring each new baby?

There is no greater treasure in the world then to have and raise your own child.
Absolutely agree. I have 4. I think down-voters missed my point.
