Maye Musk, Elon Musk's mother, spoke at the Global Fertility Crisis Forum in Hong Kong, organized by the University of Hong Kong. The 77-year-old model and dietitian encouraged women to have children, stating it's a "good investment" in happiness and doesn't require sacrificing careers. Musk expressed concern that declining birth rates could lead to her 18 grandchildren lacking friends. The forum, held on Thursday, included a discussion between Musk and James Liang, co-founder of Trip.com Group, who launched a HK$500 million foundation last year to address Hong Kong's fertility crisis.
