Insiders have revealed how Musk is determined to expand a \u2018harem\u2019 of attractive, bright and usually conservative young women to keep churning out his offspring for what his planet-sized ego tells him will be the salvation of humanity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The mercurial and eccentric Musk, the world\u2019s richest person, has fathered at least 14 children with four women, many of them through IVF. He is convinced that \u2018civilisation is going to crumble\u2019 unless people \u2013 especially highly intelligent people (like him) \u2013 start having more children.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-cba680763f952087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/97727769-14650773-image-a-36_1745684291247.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Elon Musk, 53, announced last Tuesday he was \u2018significantly\u2019 stepping back next month from his government role, it came as no surprise to Washington-watchers (Pictured last year with President Trump)\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Elon Musk, 53, announced last Tuesday he was \u2018significantly\u2019 stepping back next month from his government role, it came as no surprise to Washington-watchers (Pictured last year with President Trump)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u00a0\u00a0People close to him say that the true number of Musk\u2019s children is actually \u2018much higher than publicly known\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His estranged transgender daughter Vivian last month claimed she didn\u2019t know how many half-siblings she has.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Vivian, 20, also said that Musk prefers to use IVF so he can select the baby\u2019s sex \u2013 consequently nearly all of them are boys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He also selects their outlandish names. As well as six children (one of whom died in infancy) with his first wife, writer Justine Wilson, Musk has three \u2013 X \u00c6 A-Xii, Exa Dark Sider\u00e6l and Tau Techno Mechanicus \u2013 with Canadian singer Grimes (real name Claire Boucher).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He has another four \u2013 Strider, Azure, Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus \u2013 with Shivon Zilis, a senior executive at his neurotechnology company Neuralink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And that was officially assumed to be the lot&#8230; until in February, a New York-based conservative writer and online influencer named Ashley St Clair announced on social media that she\u2019d secretly had his child, a boy named Romulus, five months earlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">St Clair, 26, went to court, accusing Musk of refusing to take a paternity test and asking her not to put his name on the baby\u2019s birth certificate. Earlier this month, a court-ordered lab test revealed a 99.9999 per cent likelihood of Musk being the father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She claims Musk has been minimally involved in the child\u2019s life and slashed his financial support to punish her for revealing his paternity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A rabid tweeter on his social media site X, Musk is happy for the world to know his trenchant views on pretty much everything \u2013 the big exception being his private life.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-5b900aa8490ff916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/97727777-14650773-image-m-47_1745684432763.jpg\" height=\"811\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Musk has fathered five children with ex-wife Justine Musk (pictured).

The most recent baby is confirmed to have been by IVF<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Here, according to St Clair, he spends millions on non-disclosure agreements and payouts to various women in a bid to keep them quiet about the children he\u2019s sired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sadly for the secretive entrepreneur, St Clair wouldn\u2019t and has instead provided a jaw-dropping insight into Musk\u2019s bizarre pursuit of potential breeding partners and the extent to which he tries to control them. Musk told her he is intent on producing a \u2018legion\u2019 of offspring to help prevent the \u2018apocalypse\u2019 threatening the world from population decline, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The fact that she shares his views on this issue, which some dub \u2018pronatalism\u2019, was one of the reasons that they first connected on social media. They met in spring 2023 after Musk started talking to her on X, later inviting her to visit the company\u2019s headquarters in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The relationship swiftly became romantic, she said. The first time they had sex, Musk light-heartedly said that they should \u2018pick a name\u2019 for their future child and he regularly discussed having children, she told The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They eventually conceived their son during a New Year trip to the Caribbean island of St Barts. During her pregnancy, she said Musk suggested to her that they find other women as surrogate mothers so they could produce children faster. He said she should have ten children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018To reach legion level before the apocalypse,\u2019 he said in a text message seen by the Journal, \u2018we will need to use surrogates.\u2019 (A legion was the primary military unit in the army of Ancient Rome, each one typically consisting of about 5,000 soldiers.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">St Clair says Musk urged her to have their baby by caesarean section as he believes it maximises the child\u2019s skull size and thus the size of its brain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Musk is convinced that mankind\u2019s very survival is threatened by a dwindling population and he is said to have resolved to \u2018seed the Earth with more human beings of high intelligence\u2019. His ambition to colonise Mars with his rocket company is part of this mission, as it would provide a haven for humanity when, as he believes is inevitable, Earth\u2019s resources are exhausted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To be fair to him, it\u2019s not just about sex. It has been claimed that Musk offers his sperm to friends and acquaintances.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b7868cb09e77d896\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/97727815-14650773-image-m-48_1745684450486.jpg\" height=\"854\" width=\"634\" alt=\"After publicly announcing the birth of their first son in 2020, Elon Musk and Grimes (pictured) quietly welcomed their second and third child six months apart\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">After publicly announcing the birth of their first son in 2020, Elon Musk and Grimes (pictured) quietly welcomed their second and third child six months apart<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-f7eb00a8ecae4fee\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/97727775-14650773-image-m-49_1745684468175.jpg\" height=\"771\" width=\"634\" alt=\"New York-based conservative writer and online influencer named Ashley St Clair (pictured) announced on social media that she\u2019d secretly had Musk's child, a boy named Romulus, five months earlier\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">New York-based conservative writer and online influencer named Ashley St Clair (pictured) announced on social media that she\u2019d secretly had Musk&#8217;s child, a boy named Romulus, five months earlier<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">St Clair said Musk told her that in 2023 he\u2019d been approached by \u2018Japanese officials\u2019 who asked him to donate sperm \u2013 \u2018No romance or anything, just sperm\u2019, he said \u2013 for a \u2018high-profile woman\u2019. He said he agreed but didn\u2019t reveal the woman\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Although Musk strongly denied the claims, it was reported last October that he\u2019d once offered to donate sperm to a married couple he met at a Silicon Valley dinner party and, another time, to Nicole Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Last November, two months after their baby was born, Musk texted St Clair: \u2018I want to knock you up again.\u2019As he has since admitted, Musk, whose net worth is \u00a3277billion, offered to pay \u00a311.3 million towards St Clair\u2019s home and living expenses, as well as \u00a375,000 monthly until the child turned 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the clinical coldness and anonymity of the Musk reproduction operation and the various legal strictures involved \u2013 notably the NDA \u2013 irked St Clair, who worried that her child would feel illegitimate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She also insisted on a paternity test because New York courts demand one before they will approve child-support agreements. St Clair said she had to negotiate with Musk\u2019s \u2018fixer\u2019, a former banker named Jared Birchall, who handles his family affairs. Birchall reassured her that similar secrecy agreements had been negotiated with other mothers, she alleged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He also said that NDAs were necessary because he and Musk had \u2018dealt with some very unstable people\u2019 and that Musk was the \u2018biggest lightning rod on the planet\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to St Clair, Birchall warned her that, while Musk was a \u2018very big-hearted, kind and generous person\u2019, if a mother of one of his children got lawyers involved in their relationship, \u2018that always, always leads to a worse outcome for that woman than what it would have been otherwise\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Birchall told her \u2018privacy and confidentiality\u2019 topped Musk\u2019s list of priorities in every aspect of his life, adding that benefits flow when \u2018people do good work\u2019. His boss, he said, wasn\u2019t convinced he was the father of St Clair\u2019s child anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, St Clair made clear that the confidentiality was only working one way. Musk\u2019s NDA did not oblige him to keep quiet about their baby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Indeed, St Clair said she\u2019d been contacted by another woman Musk had invited to have a baby, but she hadn\u2019t wanted to be sucked in to his \u2018harem drama\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">St Clair isn\u2019t the only woman Musk has contacted on X about having his children. Cryptocurrency commentator Tiffany Fong attracted his attention when she started posting support for Trump last year. Musk\u2019s reposting of her messages to his 219million followers increased her own following.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, she turned him down when he messaged her expressing interest in them having children. Fong has since said she\u2019d rather the story had remained private.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Other women have joined the harem and accepted the attached strings, along with the considerable financial benefits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Canadian Sharon Zilis, 39, a Yale University-educated tech expert and venture capitalist, met Musk through their shared interest in artificial intelligence and became a rising star in his business empire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018He really wants smart people to have kids, so he encouraged me to,\u2019 Zilis told Musk\u2019s biographer Walter Isaacson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They had twins in November 2021 through IVF \u2013 just weeks before Musk had a second child with pop star Grimes via a surrogate.Grimes did not know that Zilis, who was a friend, was pregnant by Musk. The situation became so peculiar that, at one point, Zilis and the surrogate for Grimes\u2019s baby were just a few rooms from each other in the same Texas maternity hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Zilis and her children now live in a luxurious gated community in Austin, Texas, in a compound Musk has bought to house his various offspring and their mothers.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-a0c05fecc5008e88\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/97727773-14650773-image-a-50_1745685131226.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Musk, joined by his son X, delivers remarks alongside President Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Musk, joined by his son X, delivers remarks alongside President Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The adjoining homes, which Musk bought for a total of \u00a327 million, include a Tuscan-<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">style villa and a six-bedroom mansion. When he visits, Musk stays at a third mansion a ten-minute walk away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While Zilis and her four young \u2018Musketeers\u2019 live in the Austin compound, Grimes \u2013 who\u2019s had a rocky relationship with Musk, including a protracted legal battle \u2013 has resisted moving in with her trio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In February, she publicly accused Musk of ignoring one of their offspring\u2019s \u2018medical crisis\u2019 and pleaded with him to get in touch. Musk also tried to persuade St Clair to move into the compound and join \u2018our kid legion\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Musk hasn\u2019t responded to the Journal\u2019s bombshell report about St Clair other than to scathingly compare the newspaper to the showbusiness website TMZ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the revelations only serve to illustrate how Musk\u2019s carefully cultivated public image is starting to fracture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His business and political lives have thrown up similar humiliations. Rewarded by Trump for sinking \u00a3216million into Republican campaign coffers in 2024, Musk swanned into the White House pledging to cut a wildly unrealistic $2trillion (\u00a31.5trillion) from the federal budget. Instead, his DOGE department says it\u2019s saved $160billion and critics say even that figure is inflated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the process, he\u2019s ensured most of his colleagues will be glad to see the back of him. Some have been walking out of his meetings. Last week, Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly got into a shouting match in front of the President inside the White House. It was so heated that aides had to physically separate them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Musk has also had bust-ups with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trade Adviser Peter Navarro. Last month, say witnesses, Duffy and a colleague furiously branded Musk a \u2018liar\u2019 in a cabinet meeting over his attempts to sack sorely needed air traffic controllers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Senior officials have privately complained that Musk always tries to be funny and act like the cleverest person in the room but fails dismally at both.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He has dabbled in European politics, tweeting in support of the jailed hard-Right British activist Tommy Robinson and cheering a poll showing Germany\u2019s anti-migrant AfD party in the ascendance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Political pundits complain that the buccaneering Musk, who once brought \u2018panache\u2019 to the Republicans, is now dead weight around the administration, only fuelling antipathy towards it. Clearly overstretched, he\u2019s proving similarly unimpressive at running his electric-car company, Tesla, the main source of his immense wealth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Last week he had to grovel to shareholders and promise to focus more on the business after it reported a 20 per cent drop in car sales for the first three months of the year, compared with the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Meanwhile, profits plunged 71 per cent. Analysts blamed its boss\u2019s political divisiveness and Musk agreed. \u2018It\u2019s never a dull moment these days,\u2019 he joked to Tesla investors and analysts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Drama-loving Musk has always seemed to relish never having a dull moment, but even he surely can\u2019t be enjoying his spectacular fall from grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Tesla\u2019s profits in freefall, \u2018haters\u2019 setting fire to his electric cars and a senior White House colleague&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[51,92,12,298,16,15,1018],"class_list":{"0":"post-53976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-tesla","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-white-house"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114408318974223680","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
