He probably also sees himself as a progenitor of humanity 2.0 which is why he wants children with multiple women - genetic diversity.
The thought of an entire planet populated with Musklings gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Oh, it won't be the entire planet. Even with multiple mothers, there wouldn't be enough genetic diversity. Maybe just one out of a hundred or so. There are estimates as high as one in 200 men able to trace their lineage to Genghis Kahn. He supposedly raped multiple women daily in order to spread his seed widely. Musk probably fantasizes about the same thing. Maybe not through rape but at least through IVF. The guy really has an inflated ego.
Of course a planet where one out of every hundred is a Musk descendant is plenty scary enough.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
