Elon Musk, already the father of 14 children, is reportedly working on a plan to create a “team of children.” According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Musk has used his social media platform X to seek potential mothers and has even suggested the use of surrogate mothers to expedite the process. Indian news outlet NDTV also covered this story.
The report claims Musk is offering financial incentives and enforcing strict confidentiality agreements to control the mothers of his children, creating what some describe as a “harem drama” around him.
In September, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair gave birth to Musk’s 13th child. She revealed that Musk had messaged her multiple times expressing his desire to have a large number of children. In one message, he reportedly said, “I want to get you pregnant again.”
So far, Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four known women: Ashley St. Clair, musician Grimes, Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, and his ex-wife Justine Musk. However, sources close to him believe the actual number could be higher.
The report states that at the request of some Japanese officials, Musk sent his sperm to a well-known Japanese woman.
Shivon Zilis, the mother of four of Musk’s children, is said to have a special status. She has been seen with Musk at high-level events, including a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a pre-inaugural dinner attended by global leaders.
St. Clair claimed that while she was in labor, Musk’s close aide Jared Birchall approached her with a proposal: if she kept Musk’s name off the birth certificate and maintained confidentiality about the child’s paternity, she would receive $15 million and $100,000 per month in support. She declined the confidentiality agreement but left Musk’s name off the certificate. After she revealed their relationship in February, the monthly support was reduced to $40,000 and later to $20,000.
Musk also allegedly approached other women, including crypto influencer Tiffany Fong, with offers to have his child. When Fong shared his messages publicly, Musk unfollowed her.
Several women, including St. Clair, claim Musk’s team uses NDAs and financial leverage to control the situation. Birchall reportedly described this inner circle as a “meritocracy,” where those who perform well receive rewards.
Musk has consistently argued that declining birth rates pose a threat to civilization, and intelligent people should have more children.
The Wall Street Journal added that Musk’s life is heavily protected legally and financially. He shares three children with Grimes, who said her custody battle with Musk has left her financially strained. In February, she publicly appealed to Musk on X during a medical emergency involving one of their children.
According to Forbes, Elon Musk is currently the world’s richest person, with a net worth of approximately $367.9 billion. He is also reported to have served in the Trump administration as the head of the “Government Efficiency Division” and as a cabinet advisor.
