The first and most important duty of a father is to love his child’s mother. This is how a man ordinarily becomes a father in the first place. By this criterion, Elon Musk presents a bad example of fatherhood.
Before I go any further, let me clarify one point: Each and every one of Elon Musk’s children is a beloved child of God. Each one exists because God loves them and wants them to exist. I thank God for the life of Elon and Ashley’s new baby. We must never regret the child.
