Elon Musk’s unexpected exit from political activities surprised many, especially since he had actively supported Donald Trump during the 47th presidential race and backed the formation of DOGE. However, a recent report by The New York Times has brought his personal life into the spotlight, making explosive claims. These include allegations of drug use, undisclosed children, and efforts to silence several women involved with him.

Musk Allegedly Fathered a Child with a Japanese Pop Star

Musk has always spoken openly about his desire to have many children. He believes that falling birth rates pose a danger to society and has often argued that “childlessness” is a greater threat than having children. He has confirmed having 14 children so far. But now, new claims have surfaced.

Ashley St. Clair, a conservative writer and one of Musk’s former partners, told the New York Times that he once told her he had fathered kids in different parts of the world, including one with a Japanese pop star. She did not reveal any names. The article quoted one particular line from Musk: “He said he would be willing to give his sperm to anyone who wanted to have a child.” Ashley said Musk presented this idea as if he were helping humanity by creating more life.

Ashley St. Clair Speaks Out

Ashley revealed that she was pregnant with Musk’s child and said that he initially asked her to keep both the baby and their relationship private. He allegedly sent her messages on the Signal app, which deletes messages automatically. At first, Musk denied paternity. But later, he reportedly offered her $15 million upfront and $100,000 per month until the child turned 21, in exchange for her silence.

Ashley rejected the offer, made her story public, and filed a case in court. A paternity test later confirmed with 99.9999% certainty that Musk is the father of her child, named Romulus.

How Many Children Does Elon Musk Have?

Over the past two decades, through several relationships and three divorces, Musk has fathered 14 children. He had five children with his first wife, Canadian writer Justine Wilson, in 2002: Vivian, Griffin, Kai, Saxon, and Damian. They separated in 2008.

In 2020, Musk was in a relationship with musician Grimes. Together, they had three children: X Æ A-12, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Their relationship ended in a legal battle over custody.

Before Grimes’ second child was born, Musk had already secretly fathered twins Strider and Azure with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, his own company. Later, in February 2024, the two welcomed another child named Arcadia.
