On social media, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s light-hearted reply to Telegram co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov’s disclosure of his “100 biological children” has gone viral.

Pavel talked candidly about his decision to become a father through sperm donation, which he made 15 years prior, in a post on Telegram on Tuesday. More than “100 children in 12 countries” are allegedly his biological children. Different people had different reactions to this unexpected news, including the tech mogul.

The account “Autism Capital,” which is well-known for its light-hearted commentary on news, shared the revelation on X. The joke in the message was that Durov was trying to outdo “The man with 1000 kids!” The amusing response from Musk was, “Rookie numbersâ€ae. Genghis Khan.”

For those who missed the reference, the exact number of offspring that the Mongolian warrior Genghis Khan is thought to have had is unknown.

Durov said in his essay about how he ended himself here fifteen years ago at the suggestion of a buddy. “A strange request was made to me by a buddy. Due to a fertility problem, he and his spouse were unable to conceive and asked me to donate sperm to a clinic so that they may become parents. Before I saw he was serious, I laughed,” Durov wrote.

Durov was told following his visit to the clinic that his genetic material was in great demand. His curiosity was aroused, and he resolved to carry on contributing. Though he has since ceased, Durov stated that his stored sperm is still available for “anonymously used by families who want to have kids” at an IVF clinic.

He declared that he was “open-sourcing his DNA” to assist more individuals. “Of course, there are risks, but I don’t regret having been a donor,” Durov stated.

Durov gave an explanation of his purpose for the donations, saying that he wanted to “destigmatise” sperm donation to get more healthy men to give. He concluded his Telegram post with the words, “Defy convention – redefine the norm!”
