Overview
- Ashley St. Clair told the New York Times that Musk claimed he fathered children worldwide, including with a Japanese pop star, and offered his sperm to anyone seeking to have a baby.
- Paternity tests confirmed a 99.9999% match between Musk and St. Clair’s son Romulus, prompting her to reject a hush-money proposal of $15 million upfront and $100,000 monthly and to file for custody and child support.
- Legal filings show Musk has fathered 14 children with at least four women, among them singer Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, and faces ongoing custody disputes.
- Sources cited by the report accuse Musk of heavy ketamine use affecting his bladder and of taking ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms during his stint as a Trump administration advisor.
- Musk’s outspoken pronatalist beliefs, including his goal of building a ‘legion-level’ family before humanity’s decline, have intensified scrutiny of his family dynamics and ethical stance on population growth.
