Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk faces new personal controversy following allegations that he fathered a child with a Japanese pop star. Claims emerged from conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair, who says she also had a child with Musk in 2024 and that Musk disclosed fathering children "around the world," including with the unnamed singer.
St. Clair revealed that Musk presented his actions as altruistic, stating he was willing to provide his sperm to anyone desiring children. Their relationship was reportedly concealed through encrypted communications, even after attending a political event together. She also stated Musk proposed financial terms—$15 million upfront and $100,000 monthly until the child reaches adulthood—in exchange for her silence, which she declined before suing Musk for paternity and child support. Musk responded by seeking a gag order citing security risks.
The report further revisited Musk's purported recreational drug usage, alleging regular intake of substances such as ketamine, ecstasy, and psilocybin mushrooms, alongside traveling with a pill organizer containing around twenty medications.
Musk, aged 53, advocates for population growth and has fathered at least 14 children with multiple partners. Besides former partners Justine Wilson and musician Grimes, and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, recent additions include a child named Romulus with St. Clair and a fourth child, Seldon Lycurgus, with Zilis. An earlier report indicated Musk views his children collectively as a "legion," likening the term to a Roman military formation, and has suggested using surrogates to expand this 'legion' before an anticipated apocalypse.
In addition, Musk reportedly utilized his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to seek women interested in having his children. These developments follow Musk's resignation from a brief governmental position focused on efficiency to prioritize his business ventures. As of now, Musk has not issued a public statement addressing these allegations.
