A new Wall Street Journal report makes a number of wild allegations about Elon Musk and his many children.
The billionaire has at least 14 children with four women, though his daughter Vivian Wilson recently said that she doesn’t “actually know” what the total amount of children he’s fathered.
The WSJ piece focuses on Ashley St. Clair, the mother of a newborn who Elon previously said he didn’t know if he was the father of (the newspaper claims that a recent paternity test has confirmed that he is). However, he has allegedly negotiated silence from other women. “Musk has used his wealth to buy the silence of some women who have his kids, according to St. Clair as well as other people, text messages and documents reviewed by the Journal,” the piece states.
Ashley claimed that he joked that they should “pick a name” for a future baby the first time they had sex. The Journal further said it reviewed messages in which Elon allegedly suggested to Ashley that they use surrogates alongside her pregnancy “to reach legion-level before the apocalypse.” He allegedly told her to have a C-section and not to circumcise the child. Last November, he also allegedly responded to a selfie she sent by writing, “I want to knock you up again.”
He also allegedly messaged Ashley saying that Japanese officials asked him to give sperm to a high-profile woman: “They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm.”
It is said of Elon’s interactions with people on X, “He replies to them and sometimes interacts through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies, according to people who have viewed the messages.”
The piece claims that Elon DMed cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong on X last year and allegedly asked if she wanted to have a child with him. She then reportedly declined, citing a desire for a more traditional family, but expressed to people that she was concerned about her revenues on the platform. In a statement to BuzzFeed, Tiffany wrote, “I didn’t feed this story to the WSJ and would have preferred it remained private.”
