A shocking new exposé from The Wall Street Journal alleged that Elon Musk, billionaire tech mogul and Trump administration insider, is attempting to quietly build a “legion” of offspring protected by secret settlements and NDAs while using his social media influence on X to approach influencers he hopes will have his children.
The sprawling, 6,000-word article published Tuesday lays bare the tactics Musk allegedly employs to manage the mothers of his many children and his privacy, all while reshaping public policy and chasing a vision of human survival that veers into sci-fi territory.
The profile begins with a dive into Musk’s entanglement with Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old right-wing influencer and former Babylon Bee staffer, who claims to be the mother of one of his children after what began as a social media flirtation.
According to the Journal report, Musk told St. Clair during her pregnancy that they would need to have more children to “reach legion-level before the apocalypse” and floated the idea of using surrogates to produce them faster.
At the same time, Musk reportedly offered St. Clair a one-time payment of $15 million and $100,000 a month in support — on the condition that she stay silent about the child and their relationship.
After her baby was born, when she requested a paternity test, the Journal reports she was directed to Musk’s longtime fixer Jared Birchall.
During a two-hour phone call in December, Birchall described Musk as a “very big-hearted, kind and generous person,” but warned St. Clair that going through legal channels “always, always leads to a worse outcome for that woman.” He added that Musk wasn’t yet convinced the child was his.
“I don’t want my son to feel like he’s a secret,” St. Clair reportedly replied.
Birchall reportedly warned St. Clair that “to not sign some agreement associated with handing over 15-plus million dollars is absolutely insane and irresponsible,” adding that they’ve dealt with “some very unstable, mentally unstable, people.”
When she didn’t sign the NDA, the payments were reportedly slashed, and eventually cut again to $20,000 a month. According to St. Clair’s attorney, the “money is being weaponized.”
The Journal report also revealed that on Friday, a paternity test returned Musk’s “Probability of Paternity” at 99.9999%.
In another bizarre episode reported by the Journal, Musk allegedly used his social media platform to approach cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong.
The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby — despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.
Musk, according to the Journal, commonly refers to his ever-expanding brood as a “legion” and has been seeking to recruit new mothers via his platform X. Musk has had at least 14 children with four women, including the musician Grimes, but multiple sources told the Journal they believe Musk has fathered many more.
Since the Journal is taking on the world's wealthiest client, I'm pretty sure that the story is bulletproof against defamation.
Far out… yeahhhhh
Would Elon say he is secretly paying women to have his children?
Does the WSJ think their readers are stupid enough to buy this?
Sounds like the WSJ is being pushed out into the open by its deep-state masters.
The story is based on the claims of a “baby momma” whose child Musk disputes the paternity of.
And then some internet “influencer” - who claims to have rec’d a message from Musk, among her many followers.
Sounds like WSJ is being forced to go full CNN
Now somebody do a “shock expose” on the open borders supporting WSJ.
Wouldn’t there be screenshots of all of this activity that could be released? Elon is definitely a hound, but I doubt there’s anything going on at the level the WSJ is communicating.
it’s “bulletproof” only because the WSJ used the words “alleged” and “allegedly” about a thousand times ...
IOW, WSJ is publishing rumors ...
As long as you buy this crappola, your question is answered. Like the NYTimes, a rag.
I think Dana wants the same from him. This is her entre in order to obtain the opportunity to meet him in order to hammer out the details. 🤣
This is 15 days too late (for April Fools).
One should never go full CNN...lol.
Gah. For a smart guy he sure ignores the total necessity of a living involved day to day father in the home.
Poor kids.
Word on the street in Austin is that the number of children is in the triple digits.
That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve read yet from WSJ.
His latest conquest, the Fox news reader (I’m not looking up her name right now) specifically went after him with the plan to get pregnant. She made no secret about it at the time.
And Musk has made no secret about the fact that he wants more children. He has no problem supporting them and volunteers to do so as long as it is proven the child is his.
If my WSJ subscription wasn’t free, I’d cancel it.
Such a silly notion. At the end of the day WE ALL PAY.
Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones, and the Wall Street Journal aren’t pimply college freshman posting blogs in the moms’ basements.
If the story wasn’t accurate, The WORLD’S RICHEST MAN would have no problem hiring an army of lawyers to establish that this story is defamatory slander. All the “allegeds” and “allegedlys” in the world wouldn’t change that.
Hmm. On a moral level, his behavior bothers me. But on a practical level...
Who would I rather see having lots of children? A proven brilliant and rich man and his harem of provably above-average women, or some stupid violent crack-head and his harem of welfare-dependent ghettopotami baby-mommas?
Seriously, does the WSJ expect us to care? Consenting adults can do whatever they please and it’s not like Musk is going to be asking for my tax dollars to support his kids. What happened to the Wall Street Journal - at one time it was a respected news source.
Soon they will be saying Elon is fornicating his way for an army of 144,000!!
