Elon Musk is set to become one of the most prolific fathers in history with at least 14 children from multiple partners, according to a new investigation by the Wall Street Journal. The billionaire’s plan to “save humanity” through his genetically gifted offspring has sparked controversy and raised questions about his methods.
Musk’s approach diverges from traditional family values and focuses on elite reproduction, human capital, and long-term survival through space colonization or AI. He has used his vast wealth and influence to recruit, manage, and silence the mothers of his children.
The investigation reveals that Musk’s obsession with producing babies is rooted in his belief that reversing population decline is crucial for humanity’s survival. To accelerate this goal, he has recruited surrogate mothers, including conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who gave birth to one of his children via caesarean section.
Musk’s longtime fixer Jared Birchall privately manages the billionaire’s financial and PR arrangements, including non-disclosure clauses, with the women who raise his children. This has raised concerns about Musk’s treatment of his partners and the mothers of his children.
The Journal reports that Musk has solicited other potential mothers on his social media platform X, which led to a significant increase in crypto influencer Tiffany Fong’s earnings before she spurned his offer. However, after she contested elements of their agreement, Musk withdrew his $15 million offer and cut her child support to $40,000 a month.
The controversy surrounding Musk’s methods has sparked outrage among some Americans, who are using their wallets, votes, and voices to send the billionaire a message in response to his business and political losses.
