Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been pushing for smaller government spending since Donald Trump became president. But according to a surprising Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, he has been very focused on having more children. Musk, who reportedly has 14 kids, is said to be using X (formerly Twitter) to ask women to help him build a large family, which he calls a "legion." He believes this will help solve the global problem of declining birth rates.

The WSJ says Musk thinks low birth rates could threaten humanity's future. To grow his family, he has reportedly offered his sperm, used surrogates, and made private deals to keep things quiet. He has kids with four known women: Justine Wilson, singer Grimes, Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, and author Ashley St Clair. There may be more mothers, according to media reports.

Messages and Public Drama

One example in the report involves Tiffany Fong, a cryptocurrency influencer. Musk allegedly messaged her on X, asking to have a child together. After his attention, her followers grew, and she earned $21,000 in two weeks. But Fong said no, wanting a traditional family. When she told friends, including Ashley St Clair, Musk unfollowed her, and her online popularity and income dropped.

Ashley St Clair’s Story

Ashley St Clair had Musk's 13th child in September 2024. She said their relationship started after Musk followed her on X in 2023. She turned down a deal that offered her $15 million and $100,000 monthly to keep their relationship and child a secret. In February, she spoke out, saying she didn't want her son to feel hidden. Text messages reportedly show Musk talking about using more surrogates to grow his family to a "legion" before an "apocalypse." St Clair called the situation a “harem drama” because of Musk’s many private relationships.

A Secret Home for His Family?

A 2023 New York Times report claimed Musk bought a $35 million, 14,400-square-foot home in Texas to house some of his children and ex-partners. Musk didn't directly respond to the WSJ report but posted on X, "TMZ >> WSJ," suggesting the WSJ was acting like a gossip magazine.
